I only want you too."

If he can say "I only want you", then I should be able to say the same thing to him. If he's poly and want to roam and whatever, fine, Tav can accept that, but that doesn't mean he should coerce them into doing the same thing.

My main problem with Halsin is everything: not giving the player options in anything is one of them. In general he is a character who had some lines of dialogue done (it can be seen in the sound changes) and they have introduced certain things with funnel that do not go with the initial personality.

Well, I do actually agree with you 100%. I, too, would like a serious overhaul of the character because there's A LOT of things that doesn't make sense about him and the way he's presented. I'm just trying to be realistic here, Larian isn't going to rewrite Halsin. It just seems highly unlikely. So instead of thinking too much about all the things I feel is wrong, I'm trying to boil it down to what I feel is most important. Which, for me, is a way to share Tav's feelings with Halsin, and for Tav to be able to come with him at the end. Just a small thing like that would, in my opinion, do a lot without requiring an entire rewrite. Hoping for a rewrite is hoping for too much and setting ourselves up for disappointment.


I don't think it's expecting too much, Mithala is already having changes, not enough but she had quick improvements. I hope that Halsin begins to have the same treatment and that they correct both characters.

As the game stands, the third act suffers from a lack of work hours and that includes Halsin. I don't think Larian is not aware of this situation and it is not good for a game to prolong it because the more people who come to that event, the more people will protest. Do you know, for example, that the funnel inclusion of the obligatory poli Halsin affects the romance with Shadowheart in the third act? Or create phrases on other characters that other players find unpleasant? They are having protests not only from Halsin's fans so yes, I think they will fix it
