No, he is not bad. And neither is Halsin. I only mean similarities.
And that's another character for comparison, thank you! We were looking similarities with Dragon Age characters in Halsin's topic since several of us played this series of games. Hiravias is a nice example too.
I've never felt that DA characters or any Bioware characters (played all BW games) were too horny. BG3 is closer to representing the current-day sexual revolution, I would say. I do not know what a very modern approach to romances from BW would look like. Yes, there was Iron Bull - an already not topical romance for BW. Still, BW was doing romances since forever, they have a certain style, and tons of feedback over the years to know what people want. And those of us appreciating such things got used to this style.
Obsidian (Pillars of Eternity), on the contrary, was actively avoiding romances wherever possible. Larian also began adding them not that long ago (from DOS2, I believe?). Hence, their approach is both very different, very modern in the most possible sexually free (I's say anarchic even) style, and kind of untested. So, the characters are also quite different.
I mean, it is hard to compare them to classy BW work. A couple more decades and Larian will get it too.
