Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player discovers \u201csad as hell\u201d Halsin lore Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have been left shocked after one fan discovered a \u201csad as hell\u201d detail regarding Halsin\u2019s backstory. Just like Dungeons & Dragons, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is filled with deep lore, whether that\u2019s for the players, NPCs, main villains, or lovable companions. It\u2019s part of what many fans adore about the game, and makes scouring the world for smaller items, notes, or just different dialogue options so rewarding. Naturally, this lore not only heightens the immersive nature of the game, but can also introduce some pretty devastating stories if you\u2019re willing to look deep enough. This is exactly what happened to one player when they dove into Halsin\u2019s backstory. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player shocked after discovering sad Halsin backstory Sharing their discovery on Reddit, one user explained how they discovered why Halsin is so dedicated to getting rid of the Shadow Curse and finding Thaniel. \u201cGoing through the different dialogue options, and hearing him talk about how Thaniel was his first friend, how he fought Ketheric Thorm, and how he became archdruid, it dawned on me\u201d explained the player, revealing how Halsin \u201cdoesn\u2019t just feel responsible for the Shadow Curse because he fought Ketheric the first time. He was born there, grew up there, and lived there for 2\/3s of his life before the curse came down. He didn\u2019t come to the Emerald Grove until after the Shadow Curse was cast after Ketheric\u2019s first death.\u201d As an Archdruid, Halsin is likely to be hundreds of years old when you first meet him, as the estimated life span is thousands of years. So, with him and Thaniel being so close for so many years, it\u2019s understandable why he\u2019s so dedicated to finding the boy, and given he\u2019d spend most of his time in those woods, he\u2019s essentially lost his home to Ketheric\u2019s deeds, twice. It\u2019s clear other players were touched by the lore with one commenting: \u201cYeah that whole Thaniel quest gets me in the feels every time. The way he feels so much emotion for Thaniel but also for the land and the life itself, to the point where he will march right the hell into the Shadowfell, a horrific land of colorless terror and undead, where he could easily die. That dude\u2019s got the heart of a momma bear and is just as fearless as one too.\u201d \u201cHalsin is a much better character than I think a lot of people give him credit for\u201d explained another, with many others praising Larian for creating such a well-rounded character with a rich backstory. Every companion has some deep lore behind them, but few are as tragic as losing your home, family, and friends in quick succession \u2013 at least you can hug Halsin in the epilogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
