The OP has already clearly stated that they want this thread to focus on things that seem inconsistent or counterintuitive and therefore could conceivably be bugs, which is not unreasonable given how complex the dialogue trees are and there have been and still are multiple other bugs with dialogues.
As the OP has requested, let’s not have this thread derailed by discussions of other elements of Halsin’s romance or how he interacts with other romance partners, or by importing drama and debates that are only tangentially relevant here.
Thank you, that's exactly what I'd like the focus to be on. I've seen in other threads that you and others put a lot of work into keeping things on topic and I'm really hoping that possible bugs can stay the focus and we can leave that kind of drama out of it. As you're a moderator here, do you maybe have an idea to what extent Larian looks at this forum and uses the suggestions and feedback forum for things like hotfixes?
Hi, Larian’s Community Management team do keep an eye on these forums, though if you want to be sure something you think is a bug is seen and tracked then you can also submit a bug report to Larian support (there’s a link in the launcher). Though I’d be very surprised if Larian weren’t already well aware of the issues raised here.
Beyond that, I’m afraid I don’t have any insider knowledge but will comment that my experience as a BG3 player is that hotfixes are small releases between patches that tend to be for game-breaking mechanical bugs so I definitely wouldn’t expect a hotfix specifically for this, and that if this is changed it would probably be in a full patch along with a bunch of other stuff. But that’s just terminology. As to whether, given what Larian have indicated is limited remaining development time, fixes to Halsin’s flags are even on the backlog or will make it to the top of the priority list before development stops, I couldn’t guess. Personally, I would like at least some minor tweaks where Halsin’s behaviour doesn’t seem to make sense to me, but there’s also lots of other stuff I’d like to see addressed too!
