RE: the bear in the brothel- that is literally what happens. If you tell Halsin "no, down" or whatever the option is, he turns back into a human. If you pick either of the options going with it, he stays a bear. Halsin makes the initial decision to shift (which IMHO he should, it's his body) but the player can say they aren't into it.
Why shouldn't you cuddle with sex workers who want to cuddle? They're sex workers, not lepers. Do agree that there needs to be cuddling with Tav though.
I would like it expanded. Personally, I'm okay with Tav's evil options being there, because Tav has the option to be evil to damn near everything said in the game- what I would rather is a heavy approval hit, a more angry reaction from Halsin, and quite possibly him breaking up with the player. Of all the romance options in the game, Halsin is the only one who will not break up with the player in ANY circumstances- only if the player breaks up with him. Astarion has three situations where he can break up with the player- off the top of my head alone, there might even be more. If Halsin can have ONE boundary, it should be "I will not stay with the person who threatened to sell me back into slavery." Or if they can't bear to make it a hard line for him, it should at least be a fairly difficult persuasion roll; a success can convince him Tav was "just joking" or "just curious", a failure convinces him Tav means him harm and he either says he has no trust with them anymore and breaks up, or maybe even leaves the party entirely. I'd like that a lot, but even just a huge approval hit and a really angry reaction would be an improvement.
