Could there be legal reasons for this? Given that halflings don't look that much different than human children
Please take some time to read up on the relevant material for this topic, if you can spare it. Halflings are not child-like, and if they existed in a real world space there would be functionally no chance of them being mistaken for human children. If you find yourself instinctively disagreeing with that statement, that is what these threads are for - please have a read if you can spare the time. Height alone is not the only maturity signifier, and shouldn't be treated as such. Education is the first step.
Focused Feedback: HalflingsFocused Examination: Intimate Choreography with Small-Sized CharactersYeah... the companion racial variety is pretty lacking in BG3;
- 3 Humans
- 5 Elves
- 1 Tiefling
- 1 Githyanki
Correction there's actually 3 Humans, 3 Elves, 2 Half-Elves, 1 Tiefling and 1 Githyanki,
I've characterised it as 4 Humans, 4 Elves and two token "Exotics" in the Gith and Tiefling.
This is tongue in cheek, I promise ^.~
Frankly, I find the concept of this character(Hellia) really cringe-worthy. It's the cut content that interests me the least. I'm absolutely not a fan of high fantasy multi combo characters because they're so cool( it's not, it's artificial).
"Look I'm a half fielon minotaur with blue dragon blood by his aunt Bety the half celeste vampire, it's so cool". It's more of a gimmick than anything else.
Er... she's not multi-combo anything? She's just a halfling. But you're saying...... halfling, but with the Lycanthropy curse as her 'unusual cross to bear' is more 'cringe-worthy' to you than:
- Once-powerful archmage, and also a Chosen, and also literal intimate lover of the goddess of magic, but now with a piece of the literal shadow-weave embedding in his chest, and conveniently reduced to first level for your adventures.
- Multiple centuries old vampire spawn, but also marked by a demonic pact as part of some powerful ascension ritual.
- Mysterious half-elven amnesia with secret powers who is also the favoured of multiple deities, and also bearer of special story-critical maguffin that is bound to her specifically and is the focus of extra-planar's hunting it.
- Favoured chamption of Zariel herself, tiefling who fought on the blood wars, and also has her heart replaced by a fiendish power source that threatens to burn her to death outside of avernus. Also reduced conveniently to level 1.
Compared to those things "I've been afflicted with the lycanthropy curse and am struggling with it" is pretty down to earth as far as ridiculous gimmicks go.
Or do you just find all the companions equally or more cringe-worthy than her concept? (In which case, you wouldn't be alone... but as it stands she'd fit right in as the most 'normal' person in that bunch)
