On the minus, this takes having him in the party from inconvenient to unplayable. Ah well, there was a hotfix for Shadowheart, so hopefully if the Halsin bug is now replicable there'll be one for him, too!

EDIT: Hmm, actually Halsin wouldn't follow my party in Owlbear shape, but after he turned back into an elf he started following again. I'll keep him in the party for a bit longer to try to work out what's going on!
I have the opposite problem where Halsin will not follow in elf form. Restarting the game, reloading from a hard save, having Halsin leave and rejoin the party all do not work...
