As folk have pointed out - thank you! - this clearly is not the place to start trying to reopen the argument about that scene or indeed about anything at all other than the topic of this thread which is what we want to talk about first.
The vote has been pretty decisive so no more bear sex chat until I've finished sharing everything else I learned in that other thread mentioned. There won't be long to wait as I did only see one more presentation than you (which had a fair bit of overlap with the PFH) and play a (nearly complete?) version of the full game for what felt like a very short while. It's not going to take forever to just finish covering what I learned, so if you want to discuss Halsin's romance options than you just need to be a little patient.
We'll get there.
Btw, I'm rubbish at multitasking so if this thread or any others turn into discussions about bear sex I'm just going to lock them until I'm able to focus properly. Fair warning!
