I would however like to see story beats addressed and they really should stop listening to the overly vocal thirst crowd. The discussions after every new kiss animation are ridiculous.
I agree with this as well. Like focusing an entire update around kissing animations was a disappointment. I just hope that Patch 5 wasn't the end of major changes to the game. I think to an extent Larian is more interested in appealing to the vocal twitter crowd that celebrated the Halsin romance scene reveal. As opposed to the community that has been patiently waiting for the things they promised and haven't yet come to fruition.
I think by now most people have realized that Halsin was a mistake. I only use him to get abducted by Orin, to not loose a companion or npc, important to me. Same with Minthara. She seems to be pretty broken still and I wrote in another thread, that there are story beats, I like to see mor in-depth than romance and sex scenes ( I gave the example of the House of Hope, where I would have preferred to go deeper into the story of the Hearthflame sisters, than having Haarlep creeping on us for a potential and very boring mic drop on Raphael)
