I think whole Sharess caress thing should be looked at by devs. Especially regarding Halsin. I despise Halsin's interactions there with my whole heart. Without Halsin it's bearable I guess, except for Gale, Gale has it dirty.
I realised yesterday evening that the whole brothel situation is about three rooftops and maybe half a gameplay hour - if you dawdle - away from where you meet Tara and make plans to visit his home and get properly introduced to the tressym. It gets so much worse in context - probably akin to the swimming situation with Shart.
