Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Problems with Halsin's character, advances, LI and general character interactions, etc.

It is far too easy to accidentally trigger the conversation where Shadowheart admits to wanting to sleep with Halsin the whole time. I'm trying to figure out if there is some lesson to be taught, because through the whole game, the lesson of tolerance is conveyed through the writing. And I can appreciate that, tolerance is a worthy objective to teach, especially in this day and age. In this case however, I don't think that was the point. This idiot of a writer was just trying to "push the envelope" so to speak.

Let me tell you how this plays out in the REAL world. If someone who you THOUGHT was a friend your whole time tells you he wants to bang your girl out of the blue, he earns an immediate ass whooping. If your girl expresses displeasure when you refuse, you break up with her, on the spot. And if, God forbid, you were married, you might trigger an even worse response than that. There is a reason why people are able to successfully plea temporary insanity in the cases of murder due to adultery. Hell, this is "just a game," and I STILL probably wouldn't hesitate to put a bat through your writer's skull and make him look like a mindflayer's lunch.

You do not tangle with people's emotions in a relationship, genius. There is no message of "tolerance" to be conveyed here. Get a writer who understands relationships.

Lol since I killed Halsin, joke’s on me, she took Gale!! Like the worst one to possibly take! Because I forgot to keep him in my party. I was hoping she would take Minthara, but NO. She had to take the guy with a nuclear weapon in his chest. And now I feel like I have to rescue him before I go to Sorcerous sundries.

You don't have a timer, until you start the questline inside the sewers, you will know, what is meant.

I’m going to get really annoyed if she kills Gale and I get a “game over” in two days. Pfft maybe I should reload. All the progress I’ve made since then has just been me spending three hours dyeing my clothes, anyway. THEN she will take Minthara.

But yeah, to be more on topic, it would be awesome if they could give you a choice to tell Halsin to go home or something after act 2. In a game with so much player choice… let us choose, Halsin go home.

Now that I’m thinking of it, does anybody have a video or transcript of his recruitment dialogue?
