But they decided to spend resources on such scenes anyway.
And this is the MOST egregious offense they committed to me. With so many other things lacking and other critical feedback for a game in EA for 3 years and with finite resources, when you think that all of this had to be rendered-coded-motion captured-written-voiced, this shows their priorities as a developer.
I'm sure this isn't the only scene that could have been spent somewhere else. They created the game they wanted to create. Someone(well, multiple people) had to want these things to come to life in order to put them in the game.
That time, money, and effort could have went into other things. But-but-but-MAKE HALSIN A COMPANION.
It would have been so much cooler if he stayed an NPC and had a twist once we got to Moonrise...which was my initial impression up until PFH10 when they turned him into a joke.
