Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Get Shadowheart and Halsin together at the end.

Can we message Larian and get them together if either of them are romance? They’re so similar to each other, their love of animals, their healers, their beliefs, polyamorous, their epilogues, and they’re both written by the same writer. She likes big muscles and flirts with him and you can have both of them in a romance. I think they should get together like Wyll and Karlach for example, so as Lae’zel and Astarion. Do you think we should make it happen? I’m pretty sure they got plenty of patches coming up soon.

I would love this so much. I also love Halsin with Karlach, because they too have a lot in common! It would be cool if we could 'ship' the companions somehow at the end. Unfortunately, Larian said they're pretty much done with any story-related changes; all future patches are pretty much only bug fixes, QOL improvements, etc. So we'll have to keep our SH/Halsin, Karlach/Halsin, etc thoughts to fanfic!

I would be for it, but at least in part 3 there won't be any more of it.

When Shadowheart was discussing plans and the dream of a cottage in a rural area came up, I immediately thought of Reithwin and the surrounding area. Sure, everything needs a broom and some more curses broken, but it's not really that far from the city and still holds loads of adventure to be had.

This is a really cute idea. I love seeing companions not romanced having little side romances.

No please! The Halsin X Shadowheart is already awfully implemented. The less I see of this hamfisted and poorly written pair, the better.

If you romance SH and not Halsin, he tries to worm his way into your relationship regardless. SH and halsin flirt constantly, even after you tell him NO. If you want to have fun in the Caress with SH - Halsin invites himself in. Saying no gets you a disapproval from BOTH of them. He spies on your swimming scene and invites himself there too. It's absolutely disgusting and I hate the way they try to undermine your relationship without your consent.

Instead, we should be asking Larian to fix the flags so that stuff ONLY happens if you decide to romance BOTH. Otherwise, shipping your Love Interest without your consent to another NPC is creepy and gross. Even then - Halsin should have never made it to Act 3 - his only role is to be a sex pest.

Please let’s not derail this thread. Discussion of an open relationship of the player character, Shadowheart and Halsin is not on topic and has already been covered elsewhere, and breaking into a light and friendly discussion with such a heated post would be inappropriate even if it were relevant.

No more here, thanks.

Wouldn't it be adorable if Shadowheart and Halsin raised Buttons the wolf cub together?

Would Shadowheart even be okay around all those kiddos in Reithwin?

I imagine she might be, as long as she wasn't responsible for any of the actual rearing. But that just means her parents can enjoy nine wagons full of grandchildren while she chills with the animals!

I am extremely strongly against this. No other companion ends up with others, so it would be unusual for these two characters to have a unique ending. There is also the small issue that if you are doing a generally good playthrough, Halsin tags along whether you like it or not. Halsin x Shadowheart would add another unwanted element for players who don't particularly like Halsin but are running a good-aligned campaign. If they want to implement Shadowheart x Halsin, they must also provide a way to leave Halsin in Act 2.

Folk should feel welcome to share other ships, too!

But let’s keep this light and fun. People are welcome to say they’re not up for this particular pairing if they really feel the need, but let’s not take this too seriously, given the chances of Larian adding such content at this stage are surely slim to none.

There is a way to do that. Don't break the Shadow Curse and he leaves.

Bringing up Halsin remaining with the party or not wasn’t particularly on topic to begin with, so please let’s not risk derailing the thread by carrying on down that side track.

It doesn't matter, I don't think there will be anything else in part 3 either. I'm thinking of a possible part 4 in which we can meet their children or SH and Halsin themselves and they tell us their shared story.

Wyll and Karlach end up together, if they go to Avernus in the end.

I don't see Halsin and Shadowheart either btw, she was much more in awe for Karlach and even would make sense with Lae'zel, but you can get Halsin abducted pretty early and 'botch' the persuasion role, if you don't want to deal with him. I mostly just ignore him in camp.

Generally I don't care, who ends up with whom, but I kind of do ship Karlach and Wyll tbh.

I think it is nice when the companions have agency of their own when it comes to relationships, it makes them more real as characters.

I don't mind other people's headcanon and who you ship with who doesn't affect me and vice versa. If I am not romancing a companion I don't really care who they go after, it's their business not Tav's.
