I just had to turn down a prancing Wyll. I tried to let him down easy, but he wasn't getting the hint.

Is this what it's like to be a woman? Dudes come prancing up to you out of nowhere like it's their best move, then get bitchy when you don't drop your pants for a two step?

I know I risk summoning the worst of the Internet with this question. I'm still curious if anyone's experienced similar in the game. Maybe I'm way off thinking there's some empathy lessons in here. It's obviously not the message of the game, but maybe one of the messages.

The half ton of rothé hits on you no matter what too. Like the second conversation with him after he becomes a permanent companion he starts dropping hints in every conversation til you call him names.

are you talking about Halsin?

I was too afraid to ask, I thought we'd gone into spoiler territory over some other shapeshifter.

Nah, that's just the insult you call him when he hits on you. Something like "if I wanted to sleep with a half ton rutting animal I'd find a deep rothe". Paraphrased of course.

Man halsin was hilarious with me.

He confessed to me in act 3, I had literally only had him in my party for his quest with Thaniel and talked to him a couple times with no flirting or romance.

When I told him I was not interested he was crushed and said "the car you showed me was more that of a lover than that of a host.

And I was sitting here like "buddy I barely talked to you, are you ok?"
