Summary
Of all of the companions inBaldur’s Gate 3, Halsin is a bit of a controversial one. Though the loveable druid is a powerful ally to have in certain battles, his story is one that hasleft some players underwhelmed. As he’s not the only druid players can recruit, there’s even the argument that other NPCs, like Alfira,may have been better companionsto have on a journey. Any of these factors could be contributions to the lack of Halsin cosplays out there.
But Reddit userdishycraftsproudly shared their detailed Halsin cosplay, perfectly recreating his default outfit (in his elf form, of course). The druid’s leafy pauldrons are incredibly detailed in dishycrafts’s take, as is the intricate leather work of Halsin’s outfit. The user alsopaid special attention to the different textures in the companion’s garb, matching it very closely and almost achieving a one-to-one recreation.
While a lot of cosplays lean heavily on accuracy online, the parameters are more about how it’s presented — and this Halsin cosplay is a great example. In a reply to a comment praising the attention to “such details” as Halsin’s towering height, dishycrafts confessed it was a trick of the camera. “I’m 5ft4,” they replied with the crying emoji. Though the user only shared a single image of the cosplay, they said it’d be their entry for the Tournament of Champions preliminary, meaningthere could be more shots of this look on the way.

Every Baldur’s Gate 3 Romance Option, Ranked Worst To Best
Players in Baldur’s Gate 3 can choose any of their traveling companions to begin a romance with. However which ones are worth the time to woo?
When Halsin spends the night with Tav for the first time,he transforms into his wildshape and offers to keep itthrough their encounter. Though players can reject this (convincing him to turn back into his elf form), his wildshape has earned him notoriety among players. Because of this, cosplays of elf Halsin are rare. His beefy form may be attractive, but fans refuse to pass on the opportunity for a good joke.
In between the impressed reactions, others on the post admitted their disappointment that the user chose to portray Halsin’s elf form. “Cool cosplay butI’m a little disappointed it wasn’t just a picture of a bear to troll people lol,” user Fungidude commented. “I was expecting a cheap bear costume, but this is good too,” user AlienWarhead replied. If dishycrafts’s cosplay proves nothing else, it’s that there are still someBaldur’s Gate 3players who will pick Halsin over the bear.
