And I did The Red Prince romance, and you know what? It has NOTHING on Halsin. That romance The Red Prince is up front, but it is hated for a reason.

For all Larian listens, they also repeat the same mistakes over and over.

And if I remember correctly this was all done by the same author who wrote Halsin.

So, they had all the data they needed to know this, and the dark version of this is: They added Halsin as a romance based on player feedback, but then based him on one of the most hated romances in their previous games on purpose.
Wait, what?! Oh, no. It all makes sense now

If you ever end up playing some of their other games you'll come to a realization that Larian isn't that good at listening to player feedback unless that feedback is loud and overwhelming. Even when they do end up listening the only thing you need to do is wait, because their next game will have the same problems. (act 3 comes to mind and the romances in their previous games weren't stellar either)

LOL, oh god this post made me smile. The only thing you can do is voice your displeasure and hope they do something about it. And maybe they will with the DE but do keep your expectations grounded so you don't get disappointed again.
