Halsin also confesses his love for you in act 3 with low approval from what I've seen, low meaning 0 approval in my case. And also all the flirting towards the player that can start in act 2 before there's even approval to be gained from him. As it's happening now from the quick rush from goblin camp to act 3 that I've done, even with only quest required interactions the game seemingly assumes you have flirted with Halsin and/or are romancing him.
I've had to look up Halsin's act 2 banter with Shadowheart about the goldfish and if that is triggered by purely being in romance (i.e. having accidentally flirted somewhere) with Halsin without Shadowheart's involvement in the relationship that just seems like more missing/incorrectly placed dialogue flags. Looking at the rest of act 2's banter between Halsin and Shadowheart, which has animosity and aggression that I find far more severe than that between Shadowheart and Lae'zel in act 1, it also seems like the banter was misplaced and should have been put in act 3 after Shadowheart left Shar behind. Imagine having the goldfish banter happen and then going into Shar's gauntlet with both of them and have them be at each other's throat again constantly.
There are many party banters with wrong triggers unfortunately, some that even contain spoilers for future events. To me, the goldfish banter looks like another one of those that is triggered at a wrong point in the story.
