While I do think people are a little too fixated on Haslin I think we should have non-origin NPCs definitely. I'll be really let down if our only party members are the ones we meet at the beginning.
Well at least for me he appears to know what he’s doing and is confident in his actions. He’s not whiney and offers up ideas even if they might not pan out.
Really? He seems like a complete fuck-up to me. My mans made me kill gobbo children because he was getting pocked to death by them, after he got captured because he tried and failed to do i-can't-remember-what. Then after i save him and fix all of his place's problems, he decides to leave again and even gets pissy when i ask him if all he can provide are directions for the Undertark.
Having said that tho, his triumphant arrival, right after the battle for the grove was done and drow chick was dead, was actual G.
