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

And Gale has a snake coming out of his mouth, and Karlach is hugging a lute, and Shadowheart is male, and Asterion has blue hair.

I keep staring at the portrait of the new origin character... is it maybe a bird? Raven? In theme of the new Panel From Hell?

Who's that knocking? Knocking on my chamber door?

Possible. "The Final Origin"? All that black could be censorship bars covering the actual portrait.

😮 Can’t wait to see who the last origin companion is tomorrow!!!

Halsin's younger brother.

looks like "The Devil" dogs? diggs? ogre? not sure on the last word to me

the dead ogre?

I think it says “The Final Origin” and maybe the picture is a silhouette to be revealed?

For me, for multiple reasons, this last companion needs to be a good-aligned female arcane spellcaster from one of the standard tall races. So definitely not the werewolf.

The Devil Sage? Sylvira Savikas? She was datamined as an origin character along with thekid, Helia, and the red wizard origins. The imagine looks like Siluotte with horns to me, could be a Tiefling.

She's been in Descent Into Avernus, Infernal Tide comic books, and on the front of the D&D clue box, amoung other places, so she has some level of fame, and she's attractive and could be good. Possibly a conjurer Wizard given she was a Archmage, altjou Quasit Familiar suggests Fiend Pact Warlock, her knowledge could suggest possibly a Bard, but Wizardess is most likely.

If that is a bird, and if the middle word is red as some have suggested, it could be the red wizard origin that got datamined, and it could be Sefris of the Hidden Ways with her Raven familiar, an ex red wizardess from the Venture into the Dungeon Commander Deck in MtG.

The head seems to have horns and the name seems to be made up of three words so I'm wondering if dragonborn names have a specific format. Could be a title rather than a name as in The Red Prince.

Could this be the same character as Safiya, a renegade red wizard who first appeared in Masks of the Betrayer?

Oddly specific, but hey, I guess it's possible we're getting a dragonborn sorcerer. We're missing a bard and monk too though, so eh there are imo just as likely.

...RIght?

The shape of the head could be a dragonborn? I think the face is deliberately shadowed, along with what seems to be the usage of an ambiguous moniker so Larian can have make it a big reveal. We'll see. I'd be fairly disappointed if we got a dragonborn but no dwarf/halfling/gnome in the party.

Yes, specific, but ...

1) I want only good-aligned companions in my standard party.
2) I want no duplication of party roles within my party, especially my too-small four-person party. That specifically means no duplication of classes, or even 'similar' classes, and my PC will be the party's melee warrior, likely a paladin or ranger.
3) I want a feminine female romance option, someone not "dodgy" as discussed in a different thread here.

I consider these party and companion composition rules to be quite reasonable.

Since alignment is not in the game there are no "good" characters.

if that was true larian wouldn't have said they have added more evil characters to the early access, because players tend to play "good" and its hard to get the feedback of "evil/bad"


“There’s been a group of people complaining about the fact that the companions are snarky and they have to have an opinion. But we’ve only put the ‘evil’ and the ‘neutral’ ones out there. We haven’t put any of the ‘good’ characters in yet, so I think that will balance that.

I didn’t expect people to be that sensitive to how the companions thought of them, and the fact that we didn’t put the ‘good’ characters in there. I didn’t see that one coming. In hindsight, it’s cool because it means [players] care.”
