But she doesn't. The game is assuming something else. I'm not saying it shouldn't be changed, I'm just speculating about the "What were they thinking?!" question above.
It feels like in this case there should be some extra triggers added into code of the game and some extra dialogues which make those triggers work.
- Would you like to have poly relationships with SH and Halsin? Yes/No
- Would you like SH to have relationships with Halsin? (extra dialogue is needed) Yes/No
We have a term in Russian for some game mechanics - "a crutch", which means something like "not the best option to solve a problem (or an option which doesn't solve it at all), but it works", so my offers would work as such crutch, but, well, nothing stops us from thinking about solutions.
The thing is she never acts or does anything. Its almost if she treats Halsin no more than a casual sex thing for a player(or both).
The fact that Halsin hits on SH is annoying, yes. But the main issue that he also hits on your character and that is what makes him "creepy"(Assuming you've declined his offer before).
Extra flag should be to play this banter is if your character is actually in romance with Halsin and SH and thats it, this way it makes sense.
This, so much. Thank you. I was beginning to think, I'm speaking Klingon here. My problem has nothing to do with Shadowheart, but with Halsin ignoring my No and trying to take my agency away.
To be honest, if he hit only on SH and she responded the way she did, I wouldve been way more mad. This way I can at least "take a shot" myself for her.
