Halsin's approach to sex neither bothers me nor interests me. I feel sad that the Halsin fans were disappointed. Jaheria is a well written character and I don't need another druid in the party.
Helia doesn't sound very interesting to me - most werewolf stories are meditations on the nature of masculinity and that's not a topic that interests me very much. I would like more good aligned companions in the game and I would like Jaheria and Minsc to show up earlier but Helia's story doesn't intrigue me
Helia is female so I doubt tehre would be any 'meditations on masculinity' and the game desperately needs companions from the smaller races. And I think, Helia was supposed to be good aligned.
Fylimar hit the nail on the head, I'll say that Helia is suppose to be as good and heroic as Karlach and Minsc,
On the Alignment Chart I would place Helia in Chaotic Good alongside Karlach.
