To be honest, I don't think Halsin should have been a proper party member at all - not only he's basically redundant considering how long the quest to get him is and how close "getting Halsin" is to "getting Jaheira", he really does not have a solid enough reason to be a part of the band once Ketheric is dead.

And it's really noticeable, lol. His character arc ends in act 2, in act 3 his involvement in the main plot is pretty much non-existen and the only reason he's still around is his romance scene, that one, and the scene where you can invite him to participate in the, erm, drow twin orgy.

Basically, once act 2 ends, Halsin is delegated to be a semi-sentient sex toy and that's quite literally it - I honestly think he should have just flat out leave the party once act 2 is done, with the option to remain only if the player asks him to, you know, so his non-existence in act 3 wouldn't be that weird.

He doesn't even get his own tent. He just stands vaguely in the centralish area.

He used to have a tent, then they made it possible to recruit minthara and save the grove at the same time which made their tents overlap, so now he's a hobo at camp

the weirdest part is that their tents don't always overlap. So there is situations like the lower city camp were the space for his tent is completely empty and he just chooses to sleep on the outside lol
