To be honest, I don't understand what this perception of Halsin as a sexual predator is all about. For me, he is liberated and likes the sexual sphere, but I don't see him as crazy or obsessed at all. His reticence towards Tav is striking, especially when you learn about his past and the fact that he had a lot of partners.
It manly comes down to him not respecting the no.
Act 2:
Halsin accuses you of treating him like a lover when all you did was try to get to know him at camp.
That’s classic “nice guy” 101 tactics accusing you of leading them on.
Act 3:
You tell him you’re not interested in him yet he will still flirt with your LI.
Halsin and Shadowheart become overly flirty / horny for each other he talks about consent yet ignores the fact Tav has made it clear they aren’t attracted to him and they don’t want a poly relationship so him flirting and hinting at a 3 some with Tav / Shadowheart is wrong.
When you go to the brothel he invites himself into the foursome after being rejected twice beforehand.
Then you’ll get the Halsin and Shadowheart disapproves message so it comes across as them not caring about Tav consent.
That is another “nice guy” tactic Coercion:
Tav already said they aren’t interested in him and aren’t poly so now he and shadowheart are trying to pressure Tav/ player into something they’re not comfortable with.
Shadowheart isn’t innocent she’s just as guilty for not caring about Tavs consent.
It doesn’t help that Halsin is basically a sex meme.
Larain really f up with the disapproval message at the brothel as this is about consent so someone disapproves you not consenting to something you’re not comfortable with is just plain wrong.
Kinda off topic
Larain should give us an option to talk to Shadowheart regarding this so you can either lock into a mono or poly relationship with her or at the very least allow us to romance a monogamous character after breaking up with her in act3 so the player isn’t forced into this poly relationship if you don’t want it.
