Physical cheating, no. Emotional, yes. That banter is canon no matter how you try to spin it. (What I'm trying to say is you shouldn't have to ignore parts of the game or try to go out of your way to kill companions so certain things where the player has no control over won't happen.)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to shut down the discussion. I've rather enjoyed reading your posts. Wish you all the best.
Now for real, in this last month talking about this whole topic I felt like a broken record so I'm going to disengage. Again have fun and all the luck in changing the writers/devs mind on this.
Yeah, that much is true regarding the emotional cheating. However, thankfully as it stands even that is avoidable by killing Halsin before he so much as exists as a person. And killing a rabid bear doesn't make you a bad person, he himself calls you a lunatic for siding with him, after all. But I do wish it were rewritten entirely instead so you can have him around without the implications. And this has the added benefit that the Halsin fans will be happy, too, because they're not exactly happy with him either.
Enjoy your time off from the topic. Thanks for starting it and lets hope our combined efforts cause change eventually!
