This, so much. Halsin has become one of the creepiest characters, I ever encountered, the only one worse has to be Skadge from the bounty hunter story in SWTOR, who outright tells you, he is a rapist. Halsin comes directly after, exactly because of what you are describing. He has all the makings of a 'nice guy', who gaslights you, blames you for leading him on, tries to worm himself in your relationship with someone else, after you said no. He is one of the most toxic companions I have encountered so far.
I was really happy for the Halsin fans, when he was announced, despite being not really interested in his character myself and wanting someone from the small races as last companion. But seeing, how even his fans want a rewrite, I think, he should get a total overhaul to make him work. He really is nothing but a bad internet meme at this point. And I thought, his fans had it rough, when everyone made fun of the bear sex scene, but hoo, boy- those were the good times.

Fully agree. I would really like that they kept his attitudes towards relationships and sex as intended, and some of the jokes are spot on. Just make him respect consent and boundaries and I am all good with the character.
Yes and maybe give him some quest for act 3 on top of that. Even in my first playthrough, when I didn't know the full extent of his toxicity, I rarely took him with me, because there was no need. I just juggled my companions around doing their quests, trying to get reactions from them and Halsin just had nothing going on.
