  • I was nice to him once (1). Watch me panic in real time as I deal with Gale's proposal to host me at dinner to meet his tressym. I thought it was a friendly offer until I read the dialogues and had war flashbacks.
    Astarion's face had me in tears lol.
    (that's the main reason I made this)

    I want to point out, that yes, this is likely nothing romantic and he's just inviting me to dinner with his tressym but it has happened in the past where, I think I've chosen the 'friendly' dialogues and he's taken them as something more then I see the exclamation point at long rest like dude I just wanna kiss my vampire boyfriend and go to sleep. I also had no option to truly say no or be neutral, I only asked about the sauce 😭

    With Halsin, it’s the opposite. Tav is the one that wants to seduce him endlessly, since the first day he came to our camp. Whenever I want to recruit/dismiss him, I have scroll down the recruit/dismiss line, after the 30 sassy line options my character gives. He has more lines than my actual romance choice.
    My in game explanation is that the bear guy must have hid that very seductive spider meat on him. My real life explanation is that someone evil at Larian really wanted us to see that bear scene

      Halsin is so dead useless. He can't join the party (maybe he does eventually, but he hasn't so far). He doesn't cast any druid spells. I've gotten to the shadow swarm quest where Halsin jumps into a portal to rescue the spirit of the Shadow-Cursed Lands and everything in the vicinity tries to kill the party. (No idea how to win that one.) He babbles constantly about wanting to go to Moonrise Towers but doesn't even TRY to head to Moonrise Towers. And he can't even get rid of the tadpole!

I really like him, don't get me wrong but he is really buggy atm and despite having rejected him continues to flirt with you. What he said may not have been flirty, I didn't think it was until I saw the dialogues I got to respond to his offer. Definitely a bug since this is romance specific.
