I used to be in a poly relationship and I think that poly dialogues are written by and for people with minimal or no irl poly experience. That dialogue tree with Astarion after Halsin Propositions you made me both sad and disappointed.
As much as some people like to pretend, it was indeed written just for the sake of sex and that's it. That bear thing from the last Panel from Hell was included because they knew how much attention it would bring to the game with a shitload of people talking about it. Fucking a bear, who wouldn't be curious on what else you can do?

Halsin is a walking sex toy first and foremost, the reason he's in the game is for someone to fuck him. I remember seeing some dialogue where he says he doesn't want to be objectified, yet both he himself and the game do that all the time. The hope is if Halsin's problems are fixed, by extension both Shadowheart's and Astarion's are as well. But alas, outside of this nonsense I'm losing faith in Larian to actually try to fix the game's problems.
