I'll be interested to see how it's handled. What edits like that would say to me is, that the romance style decisions of the characters aren't identities and preferences so much as time limitations with development before release. I still hope we get more origin overworld lines, a cutscene would make me melt, and any other voiced one-on-ones would be amazing, but if it's both mono and poly character choices getting RP expansions in rewrites, my heart is happy!
I think it'd require too drastic of a rewrite. You can already see how horribly inconsistent it is for the characters they did retcon just to fit Halsin's poly. I'd prefer they focused on more companion content in act 3, not complete rewrites of the earlier acts. And just get rid of Halsin's romance until an expansion. It clearly doesn't work as it is and would take far too much effort to solve. Give him a reason to even exist in act 3 instead. Stuff a tadpole into his brain or something.
