He wants to join in on the threesome or orgy with the drow twins, even though you are all that he wants. And perhaps the most contradictory of all is the very fact that he is traumatized by what Ketheric Thorm and his dark justiciars did to him and the Harpers, causing him chronic PTSD and an obsession with ending them, yet, he lusts after SH almost more than Tav. Wtf!? He's an absolute mess.

We have talked about these problems in the Halsin thread at length: either the character turns out to be a controlling manipulator worthy of being chosen for perdition or he seems to be written by two different people, with different purposes at different times. The epilogue takes a very nice turn by the way.

Regarding the problem that the OP mentions, there was also the added problem that even if you finally rejected having a relationship with him, the flags continued to indicate that there was romance and he went ahead with everything. In my last game with Astarion, to avoid problems, I had to leave him without speaking anything and without leaving the camp until he was kidnapped. When you rescue him, he returns to his normal self without sexual harassment. The fact that he has to set up a strategy to reject a character indicates that he needs fixing and that having him kidnapped does not affect the game at all (and as a Halsin fan, admitting this is bullshit) indicates that the character clearly needs depth and content in the third act other than looking for the meme or the crude sexual joke.

Let's hope he fixes it because I imagine that the more players reaching those points in the story, the more complaints there will be.
