I actually found him fairly likable from the get go, but boy if this community didn't put its best effort in trying to make it become an insufferable meme.

Also, not every half decent character needs to "become a companion right now".
See similar requests for Minthara or the failed Bard of Cringe Alfira.

And yes, "the more companions the better", but ideally not by recycling B-tier NPCs.

Agree 100%. Alfira…jaysus…I just don’t get it. What a nothing character.

I would personally love to see additional companion chars added just to have more choices for my crew. However, I would prefer ones that are 1) actually written to be companions, not shoehorned in by Larian to satisfy player thirst for random NPCs, 2) that are interesting, and not rando mercs with no substance, and 3) that are non origin chars instead of walking advertisements for the more compelling play through you *could* be having if…ya know…you weren’t trying to actually role play a custom character.

Also…I think that Halsin is going to die at Moonrise Towers. Or betray us. Or reveal a dark secret. Or fart at an inopportune moment. Or any number of things more interesting than being a companion/origin char.
