I guess Act 1 and 2 simply had so little Halsin-centric content that my brain filled in the blanks, just like you said, and I ended up imagining this mature and kind soul with a silly but domestic side... I don't know. I was hoping for an Alistair-esque relationship to be honest. Maybe that was my mistake, maybe it was the writer's... I think Minthara suffers a similar issue.
Oh, I like Alistair, but *probably off top* in BG3 Gale reminded me of him. To be specific, Gale looks like a mix of Alistair and Anders (Awakening version).
Halsin is more mature, but they both have big kind hearts and yeah, I also search for "good guys" in games with romantic options.
Act 1 has not much content with him, I agree, but Act 2 gives us a lot of info plus his quest to save Thaniel also shows who Halsin is.
