A necessary evil to ensure I was informed about the situation before discussing it at length. galeworried

It is after all not as avoidable as some would like since all it takes is a romanced Shadowheart and unromanced Halsin in the same party and this will happen.

It is a huge narrative whiplash for one reason. This poly thing was shoehoned in to excuse his writers bad writing and stupid fetishes and we all know it and it doesnt fit. Period.
As it stands it's unfortunately the case that Halsin is written as a person who does a nice guy act while all he actually wants is to get into the pants of you and your spouse at all costs so he can write you off his bucket list before going on to his next mark. This happens unpredictably in real life, but this is a video game. We shouldn't be hit with unpredictable scenarios of this proportion. We can read their minds, so let us, if this was so desperately what he wanted out of Halsin.

But I'll still assume this wasn't the intention.
