Halsin is not only boring, he is creepy as hell. And Helia sounded very interesting and we need small race companions..
I am gonna agree with you the character of Halsing just feel BLAH to me compared to others in the game. First they made an Elf that is bigger than some half-orcs and then they made him lack anything that resembles a typical elven personality. In fact what little personality he does have feels lacking. Finally he seems to have odd attitudes for a Druid leader.
A well done Halfling or even Dwarven bard would have added a LOT more flavor to the game in my opinion. Potential for a more entertaining storyline.
That is so true. The game desperately needs a companion of the shorter races, they are part of fantasy stories since the beginning.
And I don't even understand the attractiveness factor. I made nice looking halflings, gnomes and dwarves, no problems.
And seeing some NPCs: Korilla and Nettie are really good looking for example, whereas I find Halsin ... strange looking, I never understood people finding him attractive, but then tastes differ, I guess.
I really hope, we get our small companion. If not Helia, because she isn't far enough developed, then maybe Barcus Wroot someone else already in the game
Though tbh, I really want Helia in the game, she just sounds so awesome.
