I agree, it needs much more time, attention and maybe even carefulness to make good representation.

In terms of representation, it's unfortunate that he doesn't become an option until Act 3.
Well, considering that Halsin is tied up with the main story of Act 2, I can understand that it would be not the right place and time to start the actual romance. However, a start point with more flirting could be added after saving Thaniel and Oliver and intimate scene remains in Act 3.
People say Shadowheart is not a good candidate if you take into account what we have in the game right now (that's why people dislike Halsin hitting on her and her sudden acceptance of it). If she was written differently from the very beginning, then maybe. I'd say Lae'zel fits better for such role, but it's just my opinion.
