Excuse me if I come off as insensitive, but I never thought the whole drow sex slave thing was put there to be more than some joke made in very bad taste. "Wow Halsin is so cool, he was made a drow sex slave two hundred years ago but he enjoyed it because he loves sex so much!". It holds the same narrative weight as him alluding to Lae'zel that he had sex with that three-headed animal or the story about how he got his scars.

The way the writer relegated SA/Human trafficking to simple comic relief banter goes to show he did not think through a lot of Halsin's behavior in some areas. That's at least how I view it, you are allowed to think differently. Judging by Act 3 and the epilogue, this game clearly needed another year in the oven anyway, act 3 Halsin is just another symptom of rushed development in my eyes.

edit: Also on the topic of rushed development. I think people got used to games coming out pretty quickly. Since games evolve and their scope becomes bigger and bigger, that means more people working on it, more money going into it, and especially more time dedicated to actually developing the game. It just seems like rushed development is becoming normalized and basically expected of Major developers, push it out now and finish it later kind of mindset. Larian did a better job than most I agree, but you have to admit the game is pretty bugged throughout.
