Make Halsin another male companion (I mean, that's a hot druid, like I want that. It's a personal asking
Dude Halsin is the best. My character got triggered by Kagha trying to kill a child and went ballistic, killing all the druids. I know there was a better option but I had decided in his backstory that he'd been through some shit as a kid and it was an RP moment. After meeting Halsin and seeing how great he was my character was terrified of being forced to fight or hurt him, but he was actually really understanding of that decision. My favorite non-companion in the game by far at this point, and I'd love an excuse to see more of him. My girlfriend also seconds the desire to have him as a romance option.
I love all the books and lore and secret missions that accompany some of them.
I wanted to second this as well. The sense of discovery going through all the books was fantastically done. Even though this is missing some of the nice oldschool elements of the previous BG games, the intrigue in books and letters feels even better implemented which is honestly stunning from a more modern feeling rpg where they could easily assume a lot of players would ignore that aspect.
