What he is, however, is a man who forces his own desires on you with a toxic ultimatum of friends with benefits, where he withholds affection he has nutured for some time. He argues if you truly know your own feelings if you reject him. And if you reject him, and you romance Shadowheart, he will try to get into a threesome with you both through her, though you rejected him.

He will also try to force him into a orgy with you as soon as you talk to the drows at the brothel.


I would have been good with a healthy representation of Polyamory and relationship anarchy, but that is not what Halsin is.


When you look closely, he is a entitled "nice guy" who struggles with consent, despite claiming the opposite, and who is unwilling to commit to the dedication required for a healthy polyamorous and RA attachment.

In a way, I will claim that Halsin is actually extremely heteronormative in the absolute worst sense, while making a mockery of the consideration, respect and compromise real polyamorous relationships requires.

So while going for creating a polyamorous person, they ended up making an fboy. Man, I don't know if I should laugh or not.
