I never played EA or anything so my first exposure to BG3 was when it dropped for PS5 not even a month ago and so it's really disappointing hearing how everyone wanted Halsin in and all they did was provide the dumpster fire we all have seen.
Light erotica type stuff I'm fine with, honestly I love some of the scenes with the characters because I was definitely a romance book girl growing up and always welcomed more grown themes. The lack of depth in his character after Shadowfell is just sad though.
Like Halsin is the DREAM GUY for a lot of people as it's been seen on forums, reddit, TikTok and more... Yet that character I grew to enjoy so much just diminished post Shadowfell. There was no more of this wise aged Druid who knew what he wanted and stuck to his morals while also caring for others and their wants/needs.
As of this afternoon I just gave up on my 1st play through. I made it to Baldur's Gate but after seeing what I'd be in for with him as my chosen love interest I just didn't have the desire to keep going. I'm giving it a 2nd go now with the Dark Urge and maybe a different romance will start up and I won't have to be heartbroken about the ending of the game. (I already have grievances about the ending as a whole from what I've seen, but that's a completely different complaint for a different thread)
