Yes they do of course. But I think that once the decision is made that sex fantasy side content was to be included, you have kind of already taken the decision to throw consistency out the window. I can see other things taking higher priority than pouring all your energy into making your porn side content consistent.
Play it your way, with inconsistent erotic side content if you want and without it if you want.
But of course they need to address where these two playstyles clash and one of them intrudes upon the other.
Inconsistency is inconsistency. Small details matter a lot, they create immersion and make game memorable. Larian are well aware of this, that is why they put so much attention to them and thats what makes their game special. And yes, this situation aroudn Halsin/SH caught me off guard and that is why I found this thread and that is why I am here in the first place.
