The Haarleep thing is gross because Hope mentions how she hates that room and you can't even bring that up. I do tend to ignore Haarleep exists though because everything around it is disgusting. The companion reactions are atrocious (except Astarion), it's wants to be a cute quirky sex scene but also non consensual and the game completely falls on its face handling that with any seriousness making me wish the whole thing was never included.
