I just played a halfling female in BG3, and I was pleasantly surprised to see they've made them look way better than before. Still need more faces and especially body types, but much better. My halfling looks way more like what I would expect.
The things that tie in between RoP and BG3 are things like people see LotR stuff and start to think all dwarves should look like LotR dwarves. All halflings like LotR halflings. Elves should act like LotR elves, etc. So part of the point of this thread is to point out the differences.
Although I said BG3 halflings should look more like RoP hobbits, the truth is that D&D halflings still do look different from them. So don't get me wrong. No RoP halflings please.
