Never did play that character in Skyrim, but I remembered the idea when I installed BG3.

The first thing I think about playing a halfling in BG3 is that it feels almost overpowered - I don't remember anything where being a halfling was mechanically a disadvantage, but the sheer number of holes you can squeeze through as a small character is incredible. And the house rule version of Naturally Stealthy... I would love it if my GM gave me advantage on all stealth rolls!

The camera angles are fun, too. It helped me to understand the size difference for RP reasons when I'm always looking up at the tall people, but it's also nice to be the only one who can stand eye-to-eye with the gnomes.

Agreed - halflings are pretty powerful in BG3. The Lucky feat they have, is great too: In my halfling playthroughs, I honestly never see a Natural 1 so far with my halfling ladies.
