Halsin has the sweetest lines about friendship and wanting to be part of your journey at the end of act 2.
I would love for him to have more of his own stories to develop. But I think just adding the option to play with him earlier and with some reactions at key moments in act 1 would be really cool.
Reaction in Hag fight, Forge to free prisoners, Myconids to help them, Githyanki when you talk to vlaakith.
During Act 1 he keeps reminding you about his goal, which is to save the Shadow Cursed Lands, like Laezel does all the time to go to the Gith camp.
