Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General who do you think the new origin character will be?

The only thing I can tell for sure is that it doesn't look even remotely as "Helia the Halfling werewolf".

EDIT- Anticipated.

A thought just occurred to me; maybe the last companion will be from the Underdark? There's a good amount of underdark involved so far, and they've gone as far as giving us not only two flavours of drow as a unique race, but also deep gnomes and duergar. At least drow seem to be fairly involved with the cult. Duergar involvement is only passing at best, and deep gnomes seem to have their own whole thing going on. I feel like Larian wouldn't have given us all those options if we weren't going get a companion from one of those races. At least, the odds are greater than 0.

Didn't wok, but never mind.

I've reached my limit...
But it seems like the first word is 100% 'The' because 'e' and 'h' match with Gale's and Shadowheart's pixels.
That most likely results into the first letter of the second word being capital 'T' as well, while the last letter is very similar pixel-wise to 'd' in Shadowheart.

Pretty sure there is a g in the last word.
Sage? Mage?

The image could be a black skinned tiefling?

Ignoring your second T, maybe "The Red Mage". Elminster???.
Or maybe Edwin.
But probably not.

In any casy I hope it is not 'The Turd Mage'

Eh, it could be a lot of things. A hat, a helm, a dragonborn in a weird angle.
I have no clue. Too blurry.

"The" seems odd, given the way the conversations work. "Hello, I'm The Third Doggy, how are you today?" But it looks like that to me too. The second word might begin with a "D" (caps), looks to end with a "d" or "h" and has 5-6 letters. The third word looks like 4-5 letters and has a hanging curl (g,j,y) second-to-last.

Oooh, juicy. Doesn't look much like a face, maybe burned in that fire enveloping it... a fire genasi? Mephit? No idea.

Or Larian is trolling us and this is just some placeholder

The form reminds me of a myconid honestly, but I doubt they'll do something like it.

"The Lord of the Rings"?

The voice acting would be cheep!

Apart from the mysterious character, I can clearly see a githyanki with a single digit number in Strength. Rolled stats, I guess.

Clearly The Architect from Dragon Age Origins, or a mind flayer. I hope for a dragonborn!

A pity though. A werewolf as counter to the vampire would have been thematic. Maybe a bit too much on the nose, but we are talking about Larian. That is their style.
And the tadpole allowing a werewolf to control its transformation would also fit neatly with the other powers it has.

Maybe they slipped in Githzeri? Wouldn't take much work mechanically. But it certainly could indicate a rolled stats option.

It might still be a werewolf, just not one called Helia. "The Black Doggy"?

It could just be a placeholder like 'The last comp' or something.

On a side note, not sure if it's just the poor image quality playing tricks, but Wyll seems different in that portrait.
