Yeah, I have to admit that I was expecting grizzled, aged elf when people were talking about having to rescue Halsin. Boy was I wrong. He was suprisingly buff for an elf, and I thought "I could see my rogue going for this guy."
Although they need to fix that thing where he's snoring like a bear even in humanoid form. That was weird.
Regardless, I agree that he's a cool guy that would make an enjoyable companion, romance option or not.
