He basically begs you to have a poly relationship with him if you're already in a relationship with someone else which is hard to avoid considering how late his starts. If you then still say no, at least in the case of romancing Shadowheart, he'll actively go after her instead. He's written to be a massive creep who doesn't take no for an answer. And since it's the same writer for both those companions, she's written to be fully on board with that, which will completely ruin immersion for people who liked Shadowheart for who she was in act 1 and act 2.

His romance as it stands is rubbish because his only poly options don't make sense and he doesn't want commitment despite being written like he would.

Wanna hear something funny?

If you don't pursue either Shadowheart or Astarion he (Halsin) show no interest in them or they in him and Halsin just focuses on the MC. (and if you decide to reject Halsin he keeps on pestering the MC on two separate occasions to start a relationship with him)

Another thing that I didn't know is that even Karlach shows interest in Halsin, cant remember the line but she mentions that she would ride him if she could while you are pursuing her. Same thing thing with Gale, you can bully Gale into having a 'fivesome' with Halsin where Gale sits to the side watching you have sex with Halsin and the drow.

Now tell me knowing everything about the character that Haslin isn't someone's OC do not steal.

In all honesty I'm done with the game, I had my three playthroughs and that was enough for me. The only reason I stay on these forums is because if find some parts funny/entertaining. (blaming Zerubbabel for the influx of Dubai call girls wink ) As for the ED, maybe it will fix things but I have my doubts.

People that wanted Halsin as a companion/romance option pretty much got monkey pawed, so maybe next time folks need to be clear as to what they want so we don't end up with a character that fits more into some porn visual novel and not a mainstream RPG.
Sadly everything about this is right. I have completed the game fully once, have my second run paused in act 3 and my surge in act 1. I simply don't have the motivation. The end was not gratifying enough.
