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 turns 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 give the player a blow job (if nudity is turned on) or resume making out against the tree (if nudity is turned off). 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. The player then sleeps in camp as normal either way. | ||
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 | If the [[The Netherbrain|Netherbrain]] is defeated while the player is partnered with Halsin, the two will be seen spending the night together, where Halsin shares that he needs to return to [[Thaniel]]'s [[Shadow-Cursed Lands|realm]], help the residents and nature heal, and care for the hundreds of displaced children there. The player can offer to travel with him and help him rebuild, but if they choose to stay in Baldur's Gate, 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 chose to stay in Thaniel's realm with him, he asks if they're sure about their choice of a quiet life over an adventurous one and expresses concern over whether the children will be safe, as this is his first time leaving his duties since the Netherbrain fight. If the player ''only'' romanced Halsin and did ''not'' stay with him ''or'' go to Avernus, it is possible to receive invitations to [[Withers]]' reunion party with him and still enter the [[Campsite]] as a couple (due to a glitch that sometimes skips Halsin's romance ending if he was not in the party against the Netherbrain); otherwise, the player enters with Karlach (if they went to Avernus) or alone. Other than being able to ask for kisses, Halsin's dialogue then remains the same as if they were friends or exes: he shares about his efforts in the realm, asks the player what they've been up to for bedtime story ideas, gives them permission to visit and tell the story themselves, and offers the {{SmItemIcon|Whittled Duck}} as a parting gift. | |||
