I then kick out a companion to add level 1 Halsin to the party.
Few steps into Wyrm's Crossing and the following exchange happens straight away.
Now to be fair, this is a problem every character have when you add them to your party later on. They will have conversations between them, and talk to you like if you had history with them. I recruited SH in my current playthrough (she won't last much tho, Lae'zel will fight to death with her) at the goblin camp (It didn't make sense to my Tav not to do it after what happens in that cinematic) and proceeded to exhaust her dialogue, and in one of her answers she told my Tav something like "we've been through a lot, what you want to know"; when she literally didn't have 5 minutes on my team. I would like they eventually look at that too.
And what I find annoying is that they don't put some kind of safeguard to prevent those interactions (when you're not poly). Especially if such interactions can literally destroy/change how you view a character (It's like reading a long book, and in the last chapter, the character do the opposite to what they were doing on previous chapters). And the same can be said about the flirting.
I think that the problem isn't SH but Halsin, for what I know, people on EA wanted to have a romance with him and somehow they made him the way he is rn. I dislike the way that, of all characters, he seems to be the one that does what he wants and not what your Tav wants. I mean, Lae'zel (that is a Gith), you can convince her to consume tadpoles. Lae'zel! the character that hates mind flayer the most, and Halsin (from what I've read) is a lot lest flexible in how you can influence him.
And I found funny how even people like me (that play in a 2 people team), can *potentially* find that scene. Because Halsin joins my camp without me consenting, now if he wouldn't interfere in any way, shape or form, like Withers, it wouldn't mind. But do you honestly think if they force me a character, I won't eventually use it? Meaning that even when I was intentionally avoiding teammates, my Tav (possibly) could get that drow interaction. I don't what else to say regarding this. lol.
