The unfortunate part is that amongst those people there were individuals that expected something more.

I suppose if we were only a minority of the folks clamoring for Halsin - which seems likely - it makes sense for Larian to focus on the majority. Such are the realities of AAA development. I'm immensely grateful for the changes they made to Gale, and for how well Astarion turned out, so even though some of my pre-release fears about the direction they might take Halsin were justified, I'm still not terribly disappointed on the whole.
