The intimacy counselors were for the actors performing the sex scenes. They certainly could have used them for the script, too.

I would indeed like them to add this, and at the same time, fix Halsin's disgusting behavior in Act 3.

P.S: I have to say, though, that this discussion between Halsin and Minthara seems more in favor of Minthara, as they portray Halsin as the bad guy in the discussion and as an imbecile (oh, what a surprise)... I mean, I understand that if Minthara leaves the camp at Halsin's request, she dies, whereas nothing happens to Halsin.

If the ultimatum was tied to lifting the shadow curse, it could create a stronger narrative choice. No Minthara, she becomes a thrall again. No Halsin, the shadowcurse doesn't lift.
