Actually, thinking about it, I could totally go for a Barcus Wroot romance option

.
This is a judgement free zone, but why the gray egg?
Well, he’s funny in a grumpy and self-deprecating way, as well as loyal and willing to go to any lengths for his friends (or lovers, as I’m not quite sure what the relationship between him and Wulbren is meant to be).
I shall continue to dream that he’ll become a potential artificer class party member and romance option, even though I don’t think it’s likely!
