They state that the bear scene and "a series of scenes" were written in the tradition of CrackFic and horny shitposting. There really aren't that many other scenes to choose from that they could be referring to, is there? An orgy that incorporates taboo fantasies about twins, the highly popular sexualization of drows as well as voyeurism and non-consent kinks - could that perhaps be one of those series of scenes that they are hinting at? Or do you think they mean Wyll's proposal scene?

But yes, not everything else about Halsin is a joke. The sex scene in elf form is really good and very serious and filled with great communication and care. If you do a solo romance with him and leave out some "series of scenes" the relationship is also portrayed seriously and not just as some horny bear crackfic. And I am not against shits and giggles anyway, you can enjoy one or the other or both. I think the bear scene is funny and I love a lot of the nods to queer culture. My reference to him being a Poop McDinglefart is not meant as saying his character is just a joke, just like Poop McDinglefart he ends up being one of the most beloved characters with great story moments, despite also being about shits and giggles.
