Ok, I had no idea that people from Larian were checking these forums. In fact, I didn't even know they read this stuff (I'm new to the forum and have never commented this much before). I apologize in advance for including names in some comments (I've already deleted them). I say this because I do not endorse the violence included by the person who wrote this thread, and I think they should edit their post.

With that said, I would recommend to Larian, if they really want to solve the problem at its root, they should modify the behavior of Halsin and Shadowheart (or at least modify their flags), just as they had to do with a comment Halsin makes about people with SA. Because it's clear that this is a problem many found annoying and it ruined their game immersion (and I assure you more comments like this will keep coming).

There's a reason why some protagonists in these games are voiceless and interact with the world around them through dialogue options (like Joker in Persona 5 or the Hero of Ferelden in DAO), and it's so the player really feels like they are that character (this said by Larian themselves). And when you include themes that border on infidelity, people can take it even more personally than if Tav were a character who spoke (like Shepard).

You have to keep in mind that there are many people with different realities who will consume your product and can take this situation differently. People more sensitive than others who have actually suffered infidelities, people with OCD, lesbian women.

Now, if you ask me if I think Halsin's behavior is right (which auto-invites himself with the drow twins in the brothel when it should be the player who does it), or Shadowheart who flirts with Halsin while in a relationship with the player right after their romance scene in Act 3, I don't think so. These are issues that should have been approached with much more care due to the above reasons and not in such an insensitive way as the game does (especially when this revelation comes in Act 3 when the player has like 200 hours of gameplay).

I won't say the game should be boring and not include sexual humor. I laughed at the bear scene and I laughed at the emperor scene, but it should be done with a bit more care.

That's all I wanted to say. Again, I apologize for including names in previous comments, as I said I've already deleted them, and if I comment in this thread again, I won't do it anymore.

P.S.: Note that I was not the person who shared the author's social network, that comment I cannot delete.
