'''Halsin''' can be [[Romance|romanced]]. He is a polyamorous, a relationship anarchist, and the only character with whom you can have two committed partners, as long as your first partner is either [[Shadowheart]], [[Astarion]], or [[Karlach]]. | '''Halsin''' can be [[Romance|romanced]].

While he is eager to be intimate with the player after losing the burden of the Shadow Curse, he will always encourage them before this scene to speak with their partner for consent if they are already in a relationship. [[Shadowheart]] agrees enthusiastically and asks to hear how it goes, [[Astarion]] consents as long as the player affirms that they're still happy with him as well, and [[Karlach]] is skeptical but supportive of the player's desires. [[Lae'zel]], [[Gale]], [[Wyll]], and [[Minthara]] will always decline, however, and a player dating one of them is required to either leave their partner for Halsin or reject his advances. | While he is eager to be intimate with the player after losing the burden of the Shadow Curse, he will always encourage them before this scene to speak with their partner for consent if they are already in a relationship.

If the player accepts Halsin's offer for a night together and has either stayed single, broken up with their partner, or gotten Shadowheart/Astarion/Karlach's consent, the player will meet up with him by a secluded tree during their next long rest. Any choice but the last can be selected for the first two dialogue prompts to progress a scene where Halsin strips and the pair shares their first kiss, but eventually, when the player strips, Halsin accidentally | If the player accepts Halsin's offer for a night together and has either stayed single, broken up with their partner, or gotten Shadowheart/Astarion/Karlach's consent, the player will meet up with him by a secluded tree during their next long rest. Any choice but the last can be selected for the first two dialogue prompts to progress a scene where Halsin strips and the pair shares their first kiss, but eventually, when the player strips, Halsin will accidentally turn into a bear out of excitement. If the player then selects "I'm flattered I have that effect on you. Now come here" on the next prompt, Halsin will maintain his normal form and resume making out against the tree as the screen fades to black; the player will then sleep in camp as normal. Otherwise, if the player selects "Don't apologise. I like it", followed by either of the first two options in a fourth prompt, Halsin will turn back into a bear and begin mating the player as a squirrel living in the tree watches in shock. | ||
After either version of this scene, the player and Halsin will immediately be in a "relationship", though he will tell you that he prefers for what they share to be fluid and non-exclusive. If the player asks to kiss him while [[Jaheira]] is in the party, she may jokingly commend the two for their bravery because she gets bad breath after assuming her own [[Wild Shape]] | After either version of this scene, the player and Halsin will immediately be in a "relationship", though he will tell you that he prefers for what they share to be fluid and non-exclusive.

Being polyamorous himself, Halsin's relationship with the player will not be affected by any other romances, and he is one of the few partners that can join the foursome with the drow twins at [[Sharess' Caress]]. If Halsin participates, he will be heard turning into a bear once again and carrying the player around, much to the shock and amusement of the twins. If the player is also dating Shadowheart and both she and Halsin are in the party, the player can choose to have a fivesome with both partners ''and'' both twins. This version of the scene plays out similarly to a foursome with only Shadowheart, but she admits that she has fantasized about Halsin as well, and he says that the pleasure of a woman is one of nature's greatest gifts. The player can also have a fivesome with the twins, Halsin, and Astarion, in which case Halsin compliments Astarion's body as a work from all of nature's powers and Astarion teasingly asks Halsin if he's comfortable being kissed "with teeth". However, after the fivesome with Astarion, Halsin will also share with the player that he spent several years when he was younger as a sex slave in the [[Underdark]], but this experience reminded him of his youth and gave him pleasure. | Being polyamorous himself, Halsin's relationship with the player will not be affected by any other romances, and he is one of the few partners that can join the foursome with the drow twins at [[Sharess' Caress]].

If the [[The Netherbrain|Netherbrain]] is defeated while the player is partnered with Halsin, the two will | If the [[The Netherbrain|Netherbrain]] is defeated while the player is partnered with Halsin, based on a dialogue option, the two will go their separate ways, or together, so Halsin can return to the former [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], help the residents and nature heal, and care for the displaced children there. However, if the player chooses to temporarily stay in Baldur's Gate or go to [[Avernus]] with Karlach, or travel with their other partner, it is implied that they maintain a long-distance relationship in the six-month time skip. If the player was ''only'' partnered to Halsin in Act Three and did ''not'' go to Avernus, they still receive their invitations to [[Withers]]' reunion party while on a date together and enter the [[Campsite]] as a couple; other than the player being able to ask for kisses, Halsin's dialogue will remain the same as if they were close friends or exes: Halsin shares about his efforts in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, asks the player what they've been up to for bedtime story ideas, and offers to let them visit and tell the story themself. However, when Halsin is discussing bedtime stories, the player can joke that they would've asked for some during their adventure, and Halsin will respond that he would've even tucked them into bed if they'd asked. If the player instead chose to travel with him, he will ask if they're sure about their choice of a quiet life over an adventurous one. | ||
