Yes, I know what it's like. I had a finale without the last scene with Halsin. And thank God I didn't want to listen to all this hypocritical nonsense performed by him.

The reason I didn't choose to go with Karlach and Wyll the first time was because of Halsin. I thought the ending would be something like this kind, wise and mature man would support and help you.
After saving the grove, rescuing him from the goblins and lifting the shadow curse (which he was unable to do for 100 years), he basically tells you he'll be there for you no matter what. When you then also romance him you run into two problems:

First, he abandons you as soon as the last fight is over, which seems so out of character for him.

Second, you notice he's not poly, but just slam bam thank you, ma'am. This is not what poly is. People who are poly do value their relationships and don't just run off on you. And this is also very much out of character for him. Have a try and romance him and then pick the choice: "I think out relationship has run it's course." After that pick the choice: "I changed my mind." Halsin will specifically tell you that you shouldn't do things like that so lightly because even his heart can be broken.

So this is all really inconsistent writing that hasn't been thought through.
