#halsin 🤝 wyll

[imperial-agent]

Out of pure curiosity, what do you think is missing from Halsin's story?

after writing it all down, i realized it's not just what's missing but also what's broken, inconsistent and shallow about Halsin, hopefully that still answers your question :)

his backstory in the underdark comes out of nowhere and is never again brought up!! it is, in fact, brushed off as just some silly goofy thing that happened to him once!! hihi haha i was a sex slave for two years. im so embarrased to tell you this, tav haha anyways how about round two with the twins ??? while im standing speechless mouth agape struggling to process the story he just told me. to say it was written and handled poorly is putting it mildly

he is shown to be a shrewd person (with his francesca choice for the new archdruid back in emerald grove) so expand on that! show that he's more than just a pile of muscles! show me he's cunning and has bite! there's so much political intrigue in act 3, have him comment on it, on gortash's plan, have Halsin compare it to some other people/events that happened in the past and how they mirror what's currently happening in baldur's gate, my dude is 3 50, he's seen some shit im sure, even living in the forest the news would reach him so no excuses

he's so closely tied to act 2 i have no clue why he's locked off as a companion till you find daniel (which on my first playthrough was just before attack on moonrise, that almost made my blood boil bc not even 2 hours later orin snatched him up??? and i was like?? ok?? she took who? i barely know the guy?). i think he's too tight-lipped about what happened all those years ago with the shadowcurse and i would have loved to hear more about it (like the implication of him killing isobel and the conflict with the thorms)

I need him to be the biology/nature expert equivalent to Gale with his weave expertise. he should have more to say about the worms!! he should be studying you under the microscope the entire game!!!! literally bring back all the missing EA halsin dialogue!! i should be able to drag his ass into the underdark!!! I WANT HIS KNOWLEDGE! I WANT IT TO BRING BACK BAD MEMORIES! expand on drows and their culture in this game by using halsin as the conduit that tells you everything he learned from spending his time here!! so maybe that info dump in act 3 about him being a slave wouldn't come out of nowhere

i refuse to believe he'd have nothing to say about the elder brain after seeing it. i want him to be absolutely repulsed, terrified but also intrugied by the mindflayer colony under moonrise, i want him to cautiously study every nook and cranny there and offer his insight

absolutely baffled he won't say anything to that one dragonborn druid back in baldur's gate that is trying to keep a tree alive???? for all his distain for the cities he sure is quiet here, seeing nature failing in the middle of it while a guy is desprately trying to keep it alive. maybe make it so these two actually manage to turn this spot into something more beautiful, a lush tree in the middle of a concrete road that attracts people who come over to relax in its shade

if they bring up his hatred of the city life, why not let me turn him into a full on shadow druid (which is already hinted on during one of the conversations with him in act 3), kind of how you can keep shadowheart a shar worshipper or steer her toward selune. plant some seeds of his loathing back in act 2, how nature had to be sacrificed because people had delusions of grandure (the elder brain plot and the thorms) etc

besides wanting to cure the shadowcurse and enjoying whittling there's nothing more to this guy. after the curse is lifted all he's got are the ducks.............. once he'll mention he doesn't like the city life. okay, you've been on this earth good 350 years, my guy, you know how cities are don't act surprised

an alternative ending is missing, you should be able to go with him

personally, i think his personality is missing because he is too flat and frankly, boring. he is too agreeable even if you're a meanie to others. just as long as you don't kill innocents he's a ride or die. it's not his fault of course, he's just badly written, too surface level. which is a terrible shame bc i'm so in love with him but i'd like to fall for his personality too. once there's a fleshed out one. so it's quite hard to speculate on what's missing about a guy there's barely any information on in-game tho :'(

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #reply #halsin #if i sound critical it's bc when i love something i criticize it the most #and he's got the potential #he just didnt get the time to cook in the oven #halsin 🤝 wyll #i didnt proofread it's 11:30pm im going to sleep

[ride-a-dromedary]

I got the glitched Wyll/Halsin line about having only one good eye this evening, and even better because it's my Wyll origin and it was just the two of them when Halsin "said" it (see: it floated silently over his head), so now I can't help thinking how much of a "same hat? same hat!" moment that could have been for the two of them.

#BG3 Musing #wyllsin #(because it's mostly just me in that tag anyway hdsfajlg sorry for my nonsense) #How Wyll could have responded with a joking 'Tell me about it' #and Halsin's eyebrows would fly up and he'd stammer out an apology if he'd overstepped anything #and Wyll this time around (based in that tadpole infection conversation) would just smile like relax it's not a competition #wyll's missing right eye 🤝 halsin's fucked up left eye = together we make one set of functioning peepers #(and can have conversations based in mutual understanding of facial scarring and partial blindness)

[avocado-writing]

hi! it’s crazy seeing you write for bg3 (in a good way, it’s my new hyper fixation) when i used to read your writing for bullet train obsessively.

if it’s ok, i’d like to request astarion, wyll, and halsin’s reaction to their s/o having a hard time in life in general. i thought retail would get easier after the holidays but it made people even more entitled and i just want to cry and quit-

awww hell yeah boss same hyperfixation! 🤝 sorry about your job babe. I’m in a similar situation working in hospitality :( I’m sending you all my love. bg3 Taglist: @ghosti02art @sadandanxiouswtf @yeethaw13 @trappedinlimbo15 (comment if you’d like to be added!)

Astarion

I think comfort doesn’t come easily to him, because he’s so used to deflecting things with humour or sarcasm.

But when he sees how unhappy you are he steps up. nothing gets to make you feel bad. nothing.

Swallows his pride and asks the others in the camp the ways that help them feel better (due to being a vampire for so long he needs a little guidance, bless him)

makes an effort to get your favourite foods and be sure you’re eating correctly if he sees you’re neglecting your appetite.

gets you to bathe by playfully seducing you into the water (“oh what a lovely clear lake, and so deliciously secluded. I think I’ll just take a dip if you care to join me…”)

holds you at night and doesn’t say anything when you cry, just rubs his hand up and down your back and keeps you close. He wants you to know he’s there for anything.

when you wake up he’s curled around you, shielding you from the world.

Wyll

My man has had some shitty times in his life, but is generally quite chipper.

encouragement all the time. “You’re doing so well!” “You are truly amazing, my love.” “You can do this, I know it. I’m right here for you.”

he knows your favourite things, has them committed to memory - so he always likes to surprise you with gifts that make you light up with a smile.

lots of physical touch. A hand on the small of your back when you’re walking, a kiss as he wanders past you - something to anchor you down to the world.

there for a gentle pep talk when things get too heavy. You can feel his love in every word he says.

Stays up to chat as late as you need, and makes sure you’re sound asleep before he beds down for the night, wrapping an arm around and holding you close.

Halsin

He’s a Druid. He believes in the healing power of nature.

“come, my heart. We’re going for a walk.” “Nooooooooo…” he just picks you up and puts you on your feet. No arguing.

you complain but the sunshine does make you feel better. It’s nice to walk in companionable silence, hear the sounds of the forest. The birds. The rustling of leaves.

eventually you start to talk about your feelings, and halsin is a wonderful listener. nods along quietly and offers advice when it’s needed or asked for.

sits you down in a clearing, just the two of you, and allows you to pour your heart out. Holds you if you cry. I just think sobbing into his huge chest would be so cathartic.

kisses the tears from your cheeks after. It makes you giggle, and he smiles.

“your laugh is favourite sound.”

Assigning rock/metal/punk songs to the companions because why not

Halsin

Footsteps - Pop Evil

I've walked an empty mile/ Wore down this lonely soul/ I take these footsteps/ Go higher/ Go higher

(Really hard not to give him the love songs i have saved bc i love him so much)

Wyll

Leviathan - Volbeat

Horns that sprout out from your head/ A glowing light beneath the surface/ You said that you and I/Could make 'em all terrified/ And clean up the whole world

(Not only does this song reflect Wyll's journey to find and awaken Ansur, but it's WYLL, WYLL is the leviathan!!)

Karlach

I am the Fire - Halestorm

Roaring like the sun/ And I am the one/ I've been waiting for/ Screaming like a siren/ alive and burning brighter/ I am the Fire

(Very on the nose but i couldn't find a song that fit both her personality and her story like this)

Gale

Fear Inoculum - Tool

Exhale/ Expel/ Recast my tale/ Weave my allegorical elegy

(This song fits in overall vibes, lyrics, and even long-windedness [affectionate]. Literally sounds like someone casting a spell)

Shadowheart

Haunted - Evanescence

Long lost words whisper slowly to me/ Still can't find what keeps me here/ When all this time I've been so hollow inside

(Yes yes "Bring Me To Life" is a very Shart song but, aside from Evanescence being a Shadowheart BAND in general, i think the lyrics of Haunted fit her the most)

Astarion

I'm Not Jesus - Apocalyptica

When your world comes crashing down/ I want to be there/ If God is looking down on me/ I'm not Jesus/ Jesus wasn't there

(Me 🤝🏽 Astarion: surviving horrible abuse and being very bitter about it 🥲)

Lae’zel

Indestructible - Disturbed

Another mission/ The powers have called me away/ Another time/ To carry the colors again/ My motivation/ An oath I've sworn to defend/ To win the honor/ Of coming back home again

(This entire song is her entire personality and character motivation)

Minthara

Looking Down the Barrel of Today - Hatebreed

Once had a shotgun to my head/ They said i wasn't worth the bullets/ Now the world is my trigger/ And I'm here to fucking pull it

(I gotta be honest, i haven't recruited Minthara yet, so this is just off what little i know about her. She can have a badass fight song, as a treat)

Jaheira

When Legends Rise - Godsmack

Throat is dry/ My vision's fading/ I'm paralyzed/ And left here waiting/ Taking time/ Just one step forward/ Won't lose my mind/ I'm here to stay

(Jaheira is awesome and a legend. She keeps trying to give up the fight but always finds herself stepping up again because it's the right thing to do)

Minsc

Tribute - Tenacious D

So we played the first thing/ That came to our heads/ Just so happened to be/ The best song in the world/ It was the best song in the world

(¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It sounds like his exact type of story telling, and exactly like something that would happen to him lmaoooo)

i need the timing to work out so that saving thaniel comes right after cyrus nearly kills wyll so i can get the durge!cyrus 🤝 oathbreaker!cyrus parallel of 'i am still capable of doing good and i am not defined by what weighs on my soul and also i need halsin to kiss me until im too breathless to hurt anymore i think that would fix me'

#Syl #Val #San #Red #Sid #Zac #pinned

[kimmkitsuragi]

just realized i will do the cazador stuff the next time i play the game........ alright i gotta think about this.

who do i want in my party. obviously astarion will be there, i kinda wanna go with karlach and wyll because well i am me 💀 my og party!!! my polycule ❤ you know. but also laezel strong and combat scary. and also we need aoe spells im feeling like (most boss fights do? but who even can show up in that bitch's side spare for his spawns lmao? im not sure if we will be fighting a loooot of people? (watch me be a clown and be totally wrong lmao)) honestly if i play right wyll can take care of aoe tho??? and karlach will be the muscle ofc.

in terms of character dynamics, i really really want karlach and wyll there!! karlach is SO fucking protective of astarion it makes me crazy sometimes. what do you MEAN you wanna murder cazador? i love her. and wyll obviously. obviously. the mr hero monster hunter himself obviously he has to be there. BUT ALSO. i kinda want laezel too because i feel like laezel and astarion are kinda like 🤝 this you know. astarion is always the biggest laezel supporter in the party. laezel is an astarion tolerater but they have potential. and ive been kinda obsessed w laezel lately so. the other tempting option is ofc jaheira. because i want her in my party All The Time please. and also i enjoy her dynamic with astarion a lot too!! 2 hags...

at the end tho, wyllachstarion just stays winning every party dynamic for me. it started with them, it ends with them, it's always them for me. my hellish trio i love yall <3 i dont even know why i wrote all this when i already knew the answer lmfao. sorry to gale shart halsin for not mentioning them, but I dont think they have any significant dynamic with astarion in my game lmao (and also sorry to minsc, but he joined us literally 5 minutes ago so)

anyway. i dont know When this will happen, but im definitely doing this in my next session. hopefully I'll do it all in one session, gotta think abt the timing to make it work... hmm...

[echo-the-ghost]

hello lil ghost!!! my fav color is yellow and purple is a close second! I will wear a friendship bracelet on my funny little shell with pride lol.

also that cloak sounds rad as hell. I feel like I would always forget what was in there hahaha (terrible memory on this one, lads). but more power to you! get those pockets! shove in those blorbos!

and okay so my bard! he's really into reading and learning and is VERY curious by nature. he is decently good aligned, though might make some decisions that don't seem good at first. he's also kinda nosy lmao. I'm romancing Gale and at first I thought my bard would be a nice grounding presence for him. But Gale has such big, wistful, magical ideas and a lot of hubris, and he's REALLY good with words, so at some point my bard got fully sucked into the grand ideas. now they're kind of making each other worse haha. also in my head, my bard is like 5'3" (he's also trans because he's just like me fr). but I'm in act 3 now (final act)! so I'm excited to finish my first playthrough hehehe

-🐌

HECK YEAH yellow and purple are very nice <3 if I had little charms I'd put a snail and a little wizard hat on there perhaps tehehee

YEEE to be fair I would also completely forget what was in what pocket too lmao,, my wizard has the benefit of an 18 intelligence but I do Not. I put on regular two-pocketed coats and I'm like wow I completely forgot I had these things in here. *pulls out a random chain, a bubble wand, a petrified lemon*

OH YESS I love me some curious learned folks <3 Your bard seems cool already!! KSJFLhjslfjLHKJSH him tryna be a grounded presence for Gale but then getting indoctrinated into his dreams and beliefs.. SUCH A MOOD KJSKLFHJ. We love a couple that's a bit Bad for each other ahahahah <3 <3

you 🤝 amrynn 🤝 me being 5'3" and gender-not-normal ehehehehhee

For real I am SUCH a big supporter of giving OCs similar identities to yourself because <3 self care babeyyy kfjlhkdjfhdf. And me I have like 400 identities so I've gotta have 400 OCs.. (a slight exaggeration but still adfjhldf)

Oooooh I am CERTAINLY super excited for you for the ending! I hope it goes well and is satisfying!! Are you planning on doing another playthrough after that and if so are you gonna go for Halsin or Wyll perhaps 👀

#answered #🐌 snailnonymous #also I CALLED it I knew you were a mr. snail ehehehe #but i didnt wanna Assume #also i do just tend to use sir and dude gender neutrally until someone asks me to not adkfjldff #okay I'm babbling adkfjlhdf
