Being a companion in Baldur\u2019s Gate is a tough gig. Not only do you have to keep up with an erratic player who you\u2019re hard-coded to flirt with, there\u2019s also a chance that a Durge character is going to kill you when you least expect it. To make matters worse, the companions are all competing with each other for the player\u2019s affection, with those unfortunate enough to be banished from the party relegated to the camp forever. With so many instantly iconic characters to choose from, it\u2019s only natural that some of them don\u2019t quite make the cut, and it looks like the Baldur\u2019s Gate community has settled on one companion in particular as the least popular. Halsin crowned as Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s least popular companion Unluckily for the Druid Bear man, the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 forums are full of Halsin slander which makes it difficult to put him anywhere other than the bottom. One player pinpointed why he wasn\u2019t as engaging as other companions, saying that it was down to: \u201chis reactions and his attitude. I really can\u2019t get myself to like him.\u201d Another player broke it down to Halsin being very likeable in real life, but less interesting for a game. \u201cHalsin and Wyll are both people I would like in real life but are boring as companions in a game. The most interesting characters are always people you\u2019d hate in real life. I would stop talking to Astarion or Mizora after about five minutes irl but in-game, I can\u2019t get enough of them.\u201d Wyll was another companion who was ranked quite low, with Astarion and Shadowheart taking the top spots for most players.
