I will say this, people who romance another character, and where Halsin is just a side piece (as he is written to be) and don't engage with the drow twins, do seem to have a better experience with him. (You don't get his end scene for example)

It's when you romance just him that the flaws in his writing stands out like a sore thumb.

It's a shame that the player doesn't have the agency to say:

"I am fine with you being poly, but I want to dedicate myself to one person at a time. So, if you can accept that, and I accept you having other romantic possibilities, then that works."

"I love you, and I would like for this to work long term. Would you be willing to attempt this, on both our terms?"

"I know you haven't experienced this type of intimacy before, would you like to consider exploring it further with me?"

Right now it's an unreasonable demand. Poly this specific way or no way.
It goes directly against what healthy poly and RA is, because it is a constant discussion, compromise and evaluation of the relationship and ongoing.
This is what is at the heart of any type of good relationship. It's such a shame that it is missing, because Halsin has shown that he has the ability to grow and change.

This is not a post about "change Halsin" this is "don't make Halsin a one-note sex monster, and give him more depth and complexity, because it has already been established."
