The biggest flaw with Halsin, is that in ACT 3, he was written specifically to be just for sex. Larian wrote him as a sex toy for Tav, and tried to hide it behind a romantic lense. I don't want to sound prudish, I'm not anti sex in videogames. But the way they did it with Halsin feels so incredibly contradictory to his character in Acts 1 and 2, perhaps minus the dialogue at the tiefling party. Asking Halsin to have a drink with you at least opens the door a little for a romance. Which honestly baffles me, because theres is WAY too much time that goes by in the game between that and when you actually get to romance him. I dont know why the game treats wanting to have a drink and talk to him to us throwing ourselves at the man, since you can apoligize the next morning. But I write it off as a misunderstanding in my headcanon. There really needs to be at least one dialogue/cutscene before the shadow lands that establishes he has some sort of interest

Idk if they fixed it, probably not, but if you solomance him he will not aknowledge the relationship, and this is honestly my biggest gripe. His whole shpiel about a garden is fine, if youre doing a polyship. But it is so incredibly hurtful when you are solomancing him. Especialy since I dont think you actually get his "I dont do monogamy" bit until AFTER sex, (someone will need to confrim this for me, Im not that far yet) and he himself chooses not to see other people.

I will keep saying this until Larian gets it. Halsin is not my side chick, he is not my sex toy. He is my BELOVED.
