Some of his suggestions still trigger at minimum approval. Though I suppose hatefucking is a thing too and we don't want to leave the option to explore that kink out since we have checked every other box.

But I agree that there really isn't much sense to torture yourself by actively bringing a character that you dislike along, just so you can get upset by him. If I don't like naughty bear I can just put him in the timeout tent and he doesn't bother anyone.

I’m referring to when asking him to join the team instead of join me like all the other companions it’s I need you by my side.

I didn’t take him to retrieve Oliver I left him at camp because I hate him at the current stage and I don’t interact unless forced to.

Act3

Options when interacting with him if you ignore him unless forced to speak after the party to tell you about moon rise and to get him to retrieve Thanel.


1.Have you heard from Thaniel ?
2.How am I holding up on your estimations ?
3.I feel like I haven’t gotten to know you properly
4.I need you by my side ( insert multiple sick emojis here)


Tav response are even more flirtatious after the fight at moonrise.

Also if you select getting to know him in act 2 he will accuse you of treating him like a lover.

It’s impossible to interact with him in act 2 without triggering romance and him hitting on you.

I had him at very low approval and he still had the banter with Shadowheart asking for a threesome.

The price of admission to climb mount Halsin is to be in a relationship so now what was once a sweet slow burn romance feels cheap and nasty because it feels like shadowheart just locking Tav in so she can climb Mount Halsin and make Tav watch.( inster sad unimpressed emoji )

It doesn’t help that Shadowheart and him don’t flirt unless she is romanced because it now feels like she’s only with Tav so she can Bang halsin.( insert crying and laughing emoji)

It can also feel like shadowheart is pushing to open the relationship with that banter. Sad face

They could have easily avoided the whole self instert situation if they just toned down the horny aspect had the join me instead of the I need you by my side option.

They basically force the guy on you every chance they get.

I didn’t start Hating Halsin until act2 when he accused me of treating him like a lover when all I did was try to get know him.

Classic “nice guy” behaviour and no you don’t want to be known as the “nice guy”.

When a woman says “nice guy” it really means the creep we are scared of and whenever we are nice to them they think we want to fuck them but the reality is we don’t.

“Nice guy” keeps hitting on you when you tell him you’re uncomfortable with his advances he will respond with the exact same accusation Halsin does.

This happened to me in all play thrus on

Xbox X v4.1.1.5022896


Unfortunately I can’t upload videos here and for some reason I can’t upload videos to YT at this time.

I find him absolutely repulsive visually as well as personality because of how forced he is.
