Yeah, there should be a small race companion. I sound like a broken record at that point, but there was one planned: Helia, the halfling werewolf bard. She had voicelines recorded, but was scratched along the way.
And yes, we don't need the smelly tree hugger Halsin, who doubles down on class, race and is extremely inappropriate.
I had to Google Helia.. it's too bad she got scrapped, sounds like she would have been an interesting companion. Larian should have kept her and left Halsin in the Grove. Ah well, something to hope for from a future expansion or a "definitive edition" release, I guess.
