There's a lack of morally grey/evil male romantic options for BG3.
Let me preface this by saying that the direction Larian Studios took for the romances are groundbreaking. I can definitely feel the effect they wanted us to feel with the romances- it feels like an actual relationship instead of a game where the end goal is just sex. The players are given an opportunity to influence their love interests and affect their storylines for better or for worse, just like how one would in a real relationship. Kudos!
But… I need to say it. As much as I love Baldur's Gate and BG3, the "bad girl" romance options are numerous (Viconia, Hexxat & arguably Safana in the predecessor games; Shadowheart, Lae'Zel, & Minthara + Mizora as a fling in 3) compared to the male (Dorn in 2, Astarion in 3). There's something off about it that I can't put my finger on. Plus, player have more control on whether to "fix" the bad girls or "make her worse". Meanwhile, Astarion is the only "bad boy" you can do that with. You can't even steer Dorn to a lighter path- he will straight up leave you if you are too good.
In Baldur's Gate 3, every male romance option except Astarion starts off as "good boy" romances. Gale and Wyll did questionable things but their alignment ultimately leans towards good. Halsin is a walking green flag. What if we want to roleplay a character who is into the "bad boys"? This is why we were clamoring for a Raphael and Abdirak romance since Early Access. I see folks wanting Nere and Gortash too. Where are our bastards? Please, we want to play with fire 👀

they aren't officially registered, but Lief and a newcomer Thales have recently converted into pearl cerdae: they have made a pact with the viridian plant and been transformed by it.
Lief has always been passionate about adhering to the ways of Nature and cultivating plants. He is resentful towards his violent mother, and was happy to trade the raptor-like hindclaws he inherited from her for cerdae hooves. Now he feels less tethered to his past, and more in touch with Nature.
Unlike Lief, who has lived in Nature his whole life, Thales was raised in Arcane. Years ago, vir mother foretold that Thales would someday travel across Sornieth to find vir destiny. Vi did not want to leave behind all vi knew, but an ailment eventually forced vir to do so in search of a cure. Vir mother accompanied Thales all the way to Nature, after hearing of the regenerative abilities granted by the pact with the viridian plant.
Thales and Lief met while they both sought the plant in the depths of the forest. They were comforted by each other's company, since the pact was nothing to be taken lightly. Lief is now covered in ferns and flowers of all covers, while Thales has sprouts of lavender and crocuses. With one healed and the other changed, they both seem happy to have taken the pact.
