Speaking only for myself, as someone who has kind of a personal stake in these narratives, I'd like Halsin to keep the backstory. Dialogue added to give it more depth beyond the off-hand joke it currently is is all it really needs, in my opinion. And that's what Larian seem to be doing going off datamined content. I like seeing more representation of trauma survivors, especially when they're not typically what's presented in media (like a very strong, powerful male character like Halsin who is otherwise comfortable with his sexuality), and I know that the writing team is capable of doing these kinds of trauma narratives justice based on other characters with sexual trauma in their backstories in the game. I'm hopeful to see how things change for his backstory when datamined content is finalized and ultimately added to the live version of the game.
