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.
We would see. I think men's puberty is the archetype (hair grows everywhere, bursts of anger, ravenous appetite) but we would have to see how Larian altered that. I think the movie Ginger Snaps tried to alter the archetype to apply to adolescent girls but I never saw it.
