He's just too all over the place and disappointing for a priority romance playthrough. Especially so when my desire to play BG3 lessens the further I get into it and the more I think on everything.

This is the first I've heard that you can romance the Guardian. (I've never made it past the Underdark because I have severe altitis.) Is it a true romance or a truncated one? (Or a terrible one like Halsin?)

This can't really be answered without spoilers and it seems you haven't finished the game yet.

There is one romance scene that can play in different ways and it might or might not be to your taste depending on how you feel about some revelations. Your companions or if you have already a love interest will not comment on it or break up with you. There isn't rely more to it - you can mention it in a dialog with Raphael in act 3 if you like and depending on if you romanced or not might get a slightly different line if you betray the Guardian later.

There is an option to stay together at the end but it don't think it is like you imagine and it has a certain condition to it. And no real epilog/romance cutscene, but when you select the correct dialog options you can stay together and talk a little about the future, but it isn't much.

Still, I like it a lot and my Druid who was meant for Halsin was romancing the Guardian too and while I didn't qualify for the condition for the "stay together talk" it helps me to deal better with Halsins ending. I just have to imagine there are now two boyfriends waiting for my Durid - one in the city and one in Thaniels land.

Regarding romancing Halsin without others LI: there are sweet lines and moments and I brought Halsin along for most of the quests, he often has to say at least a single line. His shadow druid talk feels a little strange but otherwise I think he does work - I didn't speak with the Drow twins too. I was a little unhappy with his relationship talk but the main issue for me if you only romance him is the ending with him.
