two druid elves companions just seems like way too much overlap.
Why?
Because there is too much overlap. Companions take a lot of resources and there are a lot of classes and races to cover. Halsin as a companion wouldn't be unwelcome in itself, but the question would be why not invest into a companion that will diversify the cast. I don't think BG3 will have enough companions to get away with creating multiple copies of an archetype.

If Minsc and Jaheira are recruitable companions then they would be in the same situation. I am still waiting for official English confirmation that those two are indeed recruitable as party members.
