What it seems to come down to is

They made him a sex object.

People who wanted him from EA diddnt seem to want a sex object.

None of us in this thread wanted a sex object.

I dont think Larians target audience really wanted a sex object either.

Im pretty thirsty for this man though too not gonna lie, but I wanted more than a sex object. I wanted a husband basically.

Im assuming this game brought in a lot of new players, people who have never played this kind of game before, myself included.

While I am a new player, I have always had an interest in DnD and Ive played RPG games before. So its not like I came in tottaly blind, but I think many other players are.

A lot of these people, especially the streamers, are playing it as a porn/dating sim/doll dress up game, not a role playing dnd game. These are the people that are okay with Halsin being a sex object. Some of them might even revel in it. The internet is weird like that.

I only hppe that as more pepple reach act 3 who dont like whats there become vocal about it.
