Baldur’s Gate 3 fans appreciate Halsin’s attitude about romance
Larian StudiosThe admiration for Halsin can be seen on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit in a post titled: “Halsin’s way of leaving the Friendzone.”
The post goes on to explain how respectful Halsin is when approaching characters about possible romances, sharing a screenshot of this scenario.
“He clearly states his attraction to you, states signals he got from you that you might be interested as well. Clearly states his intention to be more than friends, but elegantly leaves the door open to friendship by saying the matter can rest if you are not interested.”
The community is supportive of this sentiment as well, with many players stating that this is a big reason as to why Halsin is one of their favorite characters in Baldur’s Gate 3.
“Yes, that’s why he is my 2nd favourite… He has an incredibly healthy way of approaching relationships. He says how he feels without any pressure, manipulation, or expectations,” wrote one person.
One user evens mentions how their trauma surrounding both receiving and giving rejection has caused an emotional bond to form with Halsin, calling him a “gentle king” in the way he approaches matters of the heart.
Even a player who finds part of this approach offputting (since this happens even if you don’t pursue him) admits that his straightforwardness is refreshing. They also compliment his ability to handle rejection well.
This is just another example of how the complexity of the characters might just be Baldur’s Gate 3’s greatest strength.
