I hate how heavily it is implied in this "scene". I truly want to be believe that Halsin is just bugged, because it would be ok if you were in romance with both(Because SH basically lets you to "cuck" her with Halsin and there you just return the "favor"), but if you do it without romancing him... yeah
Fwiw it's not like you have to let Halsin join in, you can still decline him even though you have to accept all the implications afterward (the retarded disapproval). It's just that the entire scenario and everything around it is bad writing.
The best part is, you can just kill Halsin on the spot after that dialogue and literally nobody cares, not companions or NPCs. NPCs care if you kill a random refugee, but Halsin? They won't even bat an eye. Now THAT is good writing! But then Orin will kidnap someone relevant which is a shame. So eh, just never bring him along anywhere and Orin will take out the trash for you.

It's just nonsensical porn, just for the sake of it. And I still believe Halsin (the one in acts 1/2 anyway) wouldn't take advantage of her like that if she were to go selunite path.
She isn't at all. She doesn't even want to share a bottle of wine with anyone but you in act 1, if you suggest sharing it with more. She's also wondering what others will think after the swimming scene, since she knows she can't hide it having happened. And she wants your children, lol. I don't think someone's going to fuck around, or want you to fuck around, if they want kids with you. He's written her consistently enough in that regard, except these couple of scenarios.
I also don't think Halsin would go back on his word saying that he'll respect our decision either, considering he knows we can just murder him (especially as Dark Urge). But that's all just hypothetical, the game isn't even remotely that detailed, especially the low MMORPG quality act 3.
