Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Halsin might be too thirsty for players Larian StudiosHalsin may claim that his heart doesn\u2019t stir easily but his exceedingly forward approach to romance is serving as a turn off for many Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players. Seemingly born of his deep rooted connection to nature, Halsin has one of the most laissez-faire approaches to sex of any your Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companions. The Wood Elf Druid delivers some incredibly frank statements of desire as your friendship develops, and enthusiastically posits engaging in polyamory if you have an established relationship with another companion. You could find Halsin\u2019s especially open, sexually liberated perspective to be refreshing. It can even be seen as a great opportunity for a positive representation of non-monogamous relationships in games. However, for some players, Halsin\u2019s ham-fisted approach to wooing their character is proving excessive. Some Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are creeped out by Halsin Rather than just having no chill when it comes to love, it may be the case that Halsin\u2019s forwardness is resultant of problems with how his dialogue is coded. One commenter claimed that a few innocuous responses to Halsin are inexplicably flagged as flirts. In one case, all of your character\u2019s available replies will be construed as flirtatious. When Halsin does start hitting on your character, rejecting him can trigger a line of dialogue where he claims you treated him like a lover would, not a host. This \u201cgaslighting\u201d accusation of romantically misleading him has left a particularly bad taste in fans\u2019 mouths: \u201c[Other companions] just ask me if I\u2019m interested in them without insinuating I was leading them on.\u201d If the negative sentiment among fans persists, Halsin could be next in line for the de-thirst treatment \u2014 following Gale and Lae\u2019zel having their libidos nerfed by Larian Studios in previous patches. In the meantime, some players argued that the \u2018Halsin problem\u2019 wouldn\u2019t be such an irritant if having him at your camp was voluntary: \u201cYou have no option to get rid of him, even if you turn him down to join the team, he still travels with you. [\u2026] Giving us the option to tell Haslin to leave after curing the land would go a long way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
