Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players argue beloved NPC should have been a companion over Halsin Larian StudiosA lively argument in the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community has started around Halsin\u2019s suitability as a companion. It\u2019s gone so far that players now suggest another popular NPC should have been a companion instead. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has become beloved in the wider gaming community as a truly special RPG. A large part of that comes from how compelling the game\u2019s companions are, and the stories you can write together. Larian has crafted these wonderful characters that help bring some humanity to a rather tragic story. Everyone will have their favorite companions and their least favorite. That can vary wildly depending on how your story went and personal preference. However, a debate is starting to wage around one companion in particular \u2013 the towering Druid Halsin. While many like him, some are disappointed that he shares a class with another in your party. They\u2019ve even put forward another NPC as a potentially better Companion choice. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players think a fan-favorite NPC should have been a companion In a Reddit thread with over 6.8k upvotes titled \u201cHalsin never should have become a party member\u201d, a user argued that Larian should have gone another way. They say: \u201cHe should\u2019ve instead stayed a camp follower\/secondary companion\u201d. They added: \u201cHalsin is a cool character but the spot of party Druid is already filled by Jaheira, having two Druid companions but no Bard, Monk or Sorcerer seems a bit strange.\u201d They also posited that may have been the plan until Larian expanded him to a full companion after players loved him. \u201cI imagine this was the original intention for Halsin until he became a fan favorite during early access.\u201d Other Reddit members have added to the discussion, that Halsin\u2019s spot should have been extended to the loved NPC, Alfira. She\u2019s a Tiefling Bard that pops up throughout the game and would have added some class diversity to the game. One user said: \u201cAlfira seemed like a huge missed opportunity.\u201d Another concurred saying, \u201cIt blows my mind to this day that Halsin got made a party member, but Alfira who\u2019s equally popular didn\u2019t.\u201d Maybe, if Larian Studios plans to expand upon Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 with a DLC, we can see that party diversity grow with new characters. Alfira\u2019s story could even be tweaked to allow her to become a companion. For now, though, we will have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
