Not going to argue with you as I do know the pain of liking a companion (romance-able one) that others "don't get". When you see the depths and nuances in every word, gesture and face expression, while others are indifferent to all of these at best. This is my turn to "don't get". My deepest apologies if I caused you pain over it.

I'm not vibing with Halsin, so I have no idea, what to do with him, maybe it is the same with you and Wyll?

No, not helpful at all, absolutely agree. Probably you are right and it is the same thing as with you and Halsin. (Funny thing: I misread your answer first and wanted to enthusiastically agree, that yes, let's give a lot of Wyll's lines to Halsin, it will be perfect!) Or maybe I had too high expectations (I imagined the paladin from DnD movie, yet Wyll proved to be nothing like that character). And though I do have ideas about how he could be made better, the changes are too dramatic, practically a re-write anyway. As he is now, a bit more agency and a little less lore-absurdity would help but I doubt we will see either.

Tbh, the lore absurdity I have more with the whole Emperor storyline, especially the reveal,and Astarion, because vampires spawns are just totally different in DnD and it doesn't sit well with me. Wyll is ok for me in that regard.

I just want more content for him, that would maybe solve both of our problems. For me, Wyll could actually the most important character in act 3 with his ties to nobility, but as it is, he gets sidelined, while ( sorry to bring him up again vampire fans) Astarion, whose story is totally unimportant for the main plot, gets a lot of screen time, so to speak.
For you, more content and dialogue could let him see as being more independent.
