Back to topic:

I think that Halsin could be a perfect example for a character that could have 3 or even more different romance paths. There are voice lines for open relationships, casual sex, monogamy and polygamy. I'm pretty sure Larian could come up with pretty good variants of those paths, just by adding some work and additional lines mixed with the original ones (some being rearranged, of course).

With him being one of the, if not the most popular character within the fanbase, it would be really cool to have Halsin as a tree in the center with different branches of possible ways of romancing Tav (or even not).
True, I have to admit, having different endings might take some time and needs additional work, but I'm pretty sure its totally worth it.

I bet someone on here could come up with some really cool dialogues (with mostly voicelines already in the game plus some additional ones) that sound appealing to 95% of the fans - if not more.
So its not about changing him, its about adding more to him. And let's be honest, that could even be an incentive to play a few times more.

Something like this is going to be the fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to do it.

Halsin being so popular has this weird dual it helps/it doesnt help. It helps in that him being so popular might be enough incentive for them to fix him. Or, it tells them theres nothing to fix because he is already beloved. This is because there is a lot of good stuff in there, its just the stuff most of us dont like are...really bad. And I dont think in any other game, character, or context it would be even remotely tolerated.

The conversation might need to be more about this: Why was Halsin popular enough in EA for so many fans to want him included? The word thirsty is being thrown around a lot. Was Halsin popular JUST for his sex appeal or was it something more? I want to believe it was something more as I keep hearing (and saying) things like hes kind, hes dutiful, hes responsible, hes dedicated ect etc.

For me it was not anything he did in EA, I diddnt have EA. It was everything he said/did in acts 1 and 2 as they are now. There wasnt a whole lot of content, so what he DID say and do has a much bigger impact on me as a player.
