I do wonder why someone keeps joining a debate for people requesting more content to just say: "Larian doesn't owe you anything. You can't demand more content."

Was that even on the table? "Larian, we demand you cater to everything at once, this instance or we will mope like three year Olds!"

I don't think anyone here has any illusions that Larian owes us anything.

We do know there will be a definitive edition, however. We do know that they're working on game improvements. We do know there is DLC discussions.

We know that Larian looks at feedback from the community (the even removed a cats hair, which is such a small, stupid and funny thing).

So, we are voicing our feedback to let them know that to most players (as obvious by this thread) Halsin's romance is unsatisfying due to limited options and content. What that content will be, is another matter, but obviously there are issues.

I am not certain, why you hope to being to the debate by repeating "They designed Halsin this way. Larian doesn't have to change anything.".

They designed Halsin as an NPC with a very limited storyline. If they were to act as you suggested Halsin would never have become a companion.

You say that he was always "introduced this way". No, he was introduced as a limited camp follower and not a companion at all. He was designed and introduced as not having a romance at all. That was the way he was introduced. Meaning, until he was redesigned specifically based on player feedback, they made a decision to implement his romance, and then limit him in a way that makes a mockery of healthy polygamy and RA.
