In fact, they believe he may not be an elf at all. Halsin was one of the first characters to gain attention when Baldur\u2019s Gate was first released. This was due to the infamous scene of him transforming into a bear during a romantic cut scene early on in the game. Like many of the main characters in Baldur\u2019s Gate, Halsin can be found during the first Act in the courtyard of the Grove. The same location where players can all find Wyll. While exploring the Grove, players learn of Druids who can morph into bears. Halsin is one of these Elf Druids but doesn\u2019t show his bear form except on certain occasions. This has raised some questions about his true identity. Baldur\u2019s Gate hints at Halsin\u2019s true form One Redditor pointed out that it was suspicious that Halsin transforms into a bear when getting \u201ctoo excited\u201d during the infamous cutscene. Additionally, the lack of knowledge surrounding Halsin\u2019s personal life was yet another suspicious identifier. \u201cWhy does he transform into a bear when he gets too excited when he\u2019s about to bang you?\u201d questioned the poster. \u201cWild shape requires intent, but a spell like \u201cPolymorph\u201d requires concentration. The crux of this argument \u2013 Halsin got too excited about being able to bang you, and broke his concentration, reverting back to his original shape. In conclusion, Halsin is totally a bear.\u201d Commenters beneath the post were blown away by the mountain evidence against Halsin actually being a bear. A suspicion that only grows when the player finds out that Halsin loves honey \u2013 a classic trait of a bear. Halsin can also be seen transforming into a bear while trunk during the epilogue at the end of the game. Which another user pointed out could be yet another identifier of Halsin\u2019s true intentions. \u201cHe also doesn\u2019t drink during the Act 1 party,\u201d said another user. \u201cMaybe so he doesn\u2019t give away the game too soon? Hmmm.\u201d Larian Studios have not confirmed that Halsin isn\u2019t who he says he is, but the in-game signs point to the druid\u2019s true identity being concealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players theorize Halsin is a bear in Elf\u2019s clothing Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are beginning to suspect that Halsin may not be the person he says he is.
