If you want any more details about this, feel free to PM me. "You may call it 'nonsense' if you like, but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!"

fylimar veteran Joined: Dec 2020	Originally Posted by The Red Queen Originally Posted by snowram Considering the focus on making every single companions "attractive" romance options, I rate the chance of a small race companion very low. Halsin easily could have been an old halfling but Larian and its audience are more interested in buff and young half elves. Well, I hope it's not true that the writers are compromising the companion selection for the sake of romanceability. Which would be, in my view, both creatively disappointing and almost certainly futile, as if characters are well written and engaging then players will want to romance them regardless. I say again ... Garrus. But, even if that is happening, I don't know why shorter races shouldn't be considered attractive romance options by more than enough players. And while of course love should not be limited by size, my gnome, halfling and dwarf PCs in particular tend not to be naturally drawn to all these galumphing giants and would be more tempted by potential love interests of a proper size. I agree. There is no reason, shorter races can't be attractive. While I like Halsin, I don't really plan on romancing him, but If Nattie would be our druid companion, I would totally romance her. I really still hope for Helia. "We are all stories in the end. Just make it a good one." Doctor Who

fylimar veteran Joined: Dec 2020	Originally Posted by Edvin Black Even without the datamined information, bard is a pretty good guess. Although no one ever wants to play as a bard, everyone wants to have one in their party. The support they provide can be damn helpful. Hey, I love playing bards, I still want Helia as a companion, because you can't have too many bards 😁 "We are all stories in the end. Just make it a good one." Doctor Who

Ixal old hand I Joined: Jul 2009	Isn't AI fun? More on topic, it would certainly fit Larians love for the exotic. On the other hand, its also possible that Larian waited with the announcement for so long because the last origin is from the races just announced. Not everything datamined will end up in the game and most of them will contain unused scraps from abandoned ideas in the code. But on the other hand, it might also just be concidence as we are in the last stretch before release where marketing increases its effort to keep the hype high.

Is this a warcraft pic? I don't remember the name but the dark dwarves that came out a few expansions ago had hair like that. Last edited by fallenj; 05/07/23 10:33 PM.

It is probably someone that turns into a werewolf at night and can't control it ! Not sure it make sense though as I haven't follow Blood in BG. In the PFH announcement picture the dead guy no longer has legs. Definitely something a werewolf coulf have done. Last edited by Maximuuus; 06/07/23 04:37 AM.

I've only read a little of BiBG but when I have time I will check it out with this theory in mind. I can say that it is set a few years before BG3 starts. It may well be someone with a completely uncontrolled lycanthropy curse, who suddenly is able to control it thanks to the tadpole. Edit: I've tried to pick up BiBG, and the evidence seems to point to an evil (male human?) sorcerer, not a random werewolf. It is perhaps the third villain, not the seventh origin.

That would mean we get a night cycle or just a random interaction when resting, gonna feel kind of lack luster if its just a campfire side bit

I tried to make the image embedded but the tag doesn't seem to work for whatever reason. The name looks like three short words. Something along the lines of "The First Mage". The image looks like a black scroll, or someone twirling a double-bladed scythe. Doesn't look like Halia the halfling werewolf anyway. Last edited by FrostyFardragon; 06/07/23 11:17 AM.
