All this thread shows is that people are just as narrow-minded about video game pixels as they are about real people.

OP is very unhealthy, I think we established that. Threatening devs with violence over some unimportant vidoegame characters is not acceptable.
However you should accept, that people have different tastes and opinions. I couldn't care a fig about that drow scene, since that doesn't happen in my game, so it doesn't exist for me. I think, Halsin is not well written in general and his creepiness in approaching you is just ewww. I have nothing against sex positive characters - nobody is complaining about Lae'zel right? She comes at you basically at the beginning, but when you say no, she will never bother you again. And she has story and character development - Halsin has ... nothing but his sex addiction in act 3. Hell (pun maybe intended) I didn't even see people complain about that Haarlep interaction and I think your li can stand nearby during that (? - never did that, Haarlep died in my games). But with Halsin it's just a 180 degree change of character and they way, he is written is needy and creepy. Everyone else is just making you an offer and accept a No, even an evil priest of Loviathar (I mean, it'S basically a BDSM session, so it counts) - only the supposedly good and wise druid can't take a No.
All this could be avoided, if we had the option to decline Halsin joining the party at the end of act 2. I mean, I use him as Orin bait, so that the useful companions don't get snatched and teh cat doesn't get killed, but I would be as happy to just tell him to go home.
