It would be fair for everyone.

So what do you guys think?

Also polyamorous (for me, relationship anarchy), and also queer here. Appreciate your comment very much. Relatable feelings about the monogamous-dominant responses across platforms. Good examples of the kind of More Scenes Halsin romance could give that would rock while not taking away non-monogamy rep. If the monogamous players need a flag like this like you've mentioned to break up because they are not wanting their character to commit to something other than monogamy, they should have it.

One thing that I'm actually happy about current writing is that he isn't willing to have a mono relationship. I understand that's what bothers so many, but that's the core of being a poly person. Poly is not a description of a relationship arrangement - it's who they are. Being forced into a closed relationship is as ill-fitting for them as is forcing into an open relationship for a mono person. I know those kinds of arrangements happen in real life, but it's a really, really heavy and sad price to pay just to be with a person you love. It's a situation where you give something of your core self away. It's different than people who are open to try different arrangements. If we talk about Baldur's Gate, Halsin is the only poly character there

A good reminder for this discussion overall, thank you.
