What in the fresh hell are you on about? Hoping you're not talking about me.

I've also not noticed anything of the sort here.

She directed it to me. I just follow the rule of not replying to people who say stupid things, because it will lead to time waste and a stupid discussion you will gain nothing from other than a migraine at the bad faith displayed by some people. She's just mad I mentioned that some gay men would like a same sex romance that doesn't have a guy constantly pining for and rambling about his fling with some other woman, and in this case a goddess, and Halsin happens to be that alternative, but is undercooked.

I see.

I could get that. I know there were other games with gay/lesbian only partnerships, some were bi, others straight.

Then the inclusivity brigade came. As I mentioned, I'm poly, but didn't much care for it in game.

For me, it's about respecting players and giving them choices. Obviously, the characters need to be playersexual or we get Cyberpunk-style complaints of someone getting the short stick with the single romance option they got (in the case of Cyberpunk, the male romance options were all side characters not tied or participating in the main quest, and accordingly got pretty crappy romances compared to the females). I'm OK if they decided to make Halsin open to poly. But he should also give the player the choice for the committed monogamous relationship. And given how long his romance takes to activate all the way to Act 3, it should have been much more substantial when we do get it to trigger.

And I sure as hell should have the option to go with him and do druid things together on our travels. Hell, even his dialogue all throughout Act 3 doesn't acknowledge my Druid tag even though he did on Act 1 and Act 2. He wants to be putative father to the refugees? OK, give me the option to tag along. We can start our new druid circle of refugees together.
