All I want to say it's that *hopefully* when they release the DE, we can all come back to this post and have a laugh remembering the bad state of her (and others companions) romance.
I think these last couple of weeks I'd talked more SH sexual life than my own. lol
This was my very first time romancing in a videogame, and... welp, let's say I plan to only romance Lae'zel (I really like that character) and then going back to my no-romance fictional characters rule. :p
But on the meantime, can we all agreed that THE GOBLIN KIDS WERE RIGHT? :p
Eh, I always roleplay in RPGs so I have that layer of separation from characters. Never got that emotionally invested and I don't think I ever will.
When I made this thread I made it for two reasons, I didn't see anyone talking about it (probably because not that many people finished the game at the time) and because I was a bit flabbergasted by the developers decision to even add it to the game. (You could say I'm not a fan of a fetish or two that you can find in this game. But my main issue has always been with the writing and its implementation.)
My reaction/post might have been a bit inflammatory ( ) but using hyperbole and throwing certain words around are a good way to attract attention and evoke emotion. (Did it work? Took some time by the looks of it.)
As for spending more time talking about fictional characters, few minutes every other day to just mess around on the forums is still somewhat fun. But I'm kind of losing interest even in that to be honest.
Do I think they will fix it with the DE? I don't think Larian sees these complaints/issues (Halsin, Minthara - non evil path, Shadowheart etc. Not Karlach because its a lack of quest/ending and not something missable/minor) as something they need to fix and I don't think they will. I'm open to being wrong tho.
But as a speculation for possible outcomes I'll throw in three.
- They wont change anything because her issue is minor and nicely hidden/off the beaten path that most people have missed it.
- They will change it by totally removing any lack of player choice or even better, fully excising Halsin from her story.
- They will change it by adding more dialogue where she shows interest in Halsin during her early story and makes the whole romance feel like she's settling for the MC while truly wanting Halsin, you never know with this writer. (In all honesty this one would end up being the funniest shit ever since more people will notice it and the chaos that would ensue would be fun to watch.)
ps. Reminder to myself - you're using to be honest/in all honesty a bit too much in you're recent posts lol

But when the person you're with is suddenly wanting to bring in your buddy, that's not the same thing. It's far worse. He's pushing in to have sex with your girlfriend, and she's talking about how she's been dreaming about it. That's a relationship-over level character flaw.
Wow JandK! Having boundaries and self respect? Controlling much .
I mean, I think you summarized the situation well enough when you created the post. I don't know if I would call it that I was emotionally invested, but it made me more mad than I'll ever admit in real life. lol
I also don't think they'll do much regarding this. If anything, they'll only fix Karlach ending. I mean, let's be honest, this probably is gonna be the GOTY. I don't know what reason a company that is selling well and the majority of people is praising will spend money on fixing this.
And yes, I also roleplay rpg games but never was interested in the romance option (and seeing how my first time using the romance option has been, it's very possible it would stay that way). lol
The part about talking about fictional characters, I said more because I'm used to just play games & not interacting with the community. It was a moment of self-realization. :p
Anyways, I don't mean to disencourage people from sharing their opinions. Y'all keep making good arguments, and hopefully they'll see it and decide to fix these inconsistencies.
PS: Sorry for my bad English, probably is being a pain to read me.
