Yes, that was extremely strange. Both Astarion and Shadowheart have sexual trauma that runs deep, why in the world are they the options to share Halsin? Astarion even opens up slightly and asks if you're interested because he's been sexually distant.
WHY IS THAT LINE IN THERE IF THE GAME DOESN'T WANT YOU TO FEEL BAD?? That IMMEDIATELY made me feel like this was a bad idea. Astarion deserves better.
Can we add to that that even Halsin has a past of
They really should have stayed clear of that stuff for those characters. It actually hurt Halsin's character a lot more than it added.
Considering how well written Astarion is as a character (elevated even further by Neil's fantastic performance) the biggest problem with him is the lack of player agency in some of his scenes. They can't expect me to sit in the backseat when he is struggling after they made me care!
