Is he meant as a cruel joke towards all the fans? Make him desirable on an emotional level, but ultimately unattainable and filled with underlying traumatic issues and toxic behaviour towards people he cares about.

With the lack of response from Larian regarding all of the feedback and criticism that surely has come to their attention by now, it's starting to seem like he was meant as nothing but a cruel joke. Why else wouldn't they acknowledge the criticism and come out and tell us that it was unintentional and that they're looking into it?
