Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback A party of shorties?...

I want to make the first passage a party of shorties. I don't like it when, during pretentious dialogues, the rest of the party members look down on my halfling as a child. What do we have now? Three playable races of shorties. 10 NPC companions. Aaand none of them belong to these races. One or two would be quite enough. .. but my only option right now is a party of silent mercenaries. Why is that? Why don't you like shorties?

P.S. And I also didn't find a sling in the game. Slings are common weapons in the Forgotten Realms and racial for my halfling. BG3 should be a BG-series upgrade, not a downgrade.

I have also thought about this - and also Larian should make it that only shorties can romance Sazza, make her a companion and then eventually turn her to CHAOTIC GOOD!

Short races are more work for cinematic dialogue, and most players simply don't care about them. If you are doing a companion or orgin you want to appeal to as many people as possible.

How many dwarf ocs do you see out there compared to teiflings or dragonborns or even fauns, not many.

Okay can someone on this forum explain the goblin fetish thing to me? Sazza (and the other goblins) seem to be designed to evoke some kind of revulsion, so what gives?

In the olden days of EA any npc that seemed unique or important in any degree had a fanbase that wanted them as a companion

Dwarves are the 3rd/4th most popular races behind humans, half elves, and elves. Hmm... what do those races in common. Clearly dwarves are more popular than most races in the game.

Also, the camera angle argument makes no sense since you can make a 'shortie' PC just fine and bang the bear and other npcs so clearly not an issue.

Dwarven npcs have been really popular. Varric from DA series is one prime example bring the only DA npc to be a companion in multiple games.

On top if that when you give players options there'll be most popular and least popular. Perhaps they should give players no choice and make them stuck with white human male warrior.

And, again, Dwarves are amongst the more popular races so yiu aren't even being honest.

So stop the racism.


GO DWARVES GO!!!

Source?

Sazza has considerable...umm...assets - and some people have a one-track-mind.

I had a guy in one run who just wanted to bang her, and ya know we gave it the ol college try but the option wasn't there.

Look I don't get it either, her teeth are filed to points, I wouldn't put anything in that mouth that I wanted to get back...

One of the most popular companions ever was a dude named Morte. Also almost certainly the shortest companion ever. Something like a foot, top to bottom.

I don't know on what you're basing this constant assertation that nobody wants short companions. And given the previous Baldur's Gate games, it just feels a bit weird.

The "I can fix him/her!" mental disorder claims another victim ...

Yeah, short companions would have been nice. I'm still mad they scratched Helia.

You've somehow missed the incredible amount of teratophiles that play dnd? Goblins aren't even that unusual, just shorter humans with some extra furnishings, and they are popular subjects in shortstack circles.
