No Dwarf companion

[Luk]

I just wanted a cool, stout and good hearted Dwarf companion, just as fleshed out as the other origins.

They did all shorty races dirty

Use Shadowheart to disguise herself as a dorf

The problem is that dwarves are kind of mandatory for a 'ragtag bunch of misfits', so that they were NOT included was kind of refreshing. That said, Faerun is human dominated afaik, so that there weren't more humans is kind of a bummer.

I dunno, two humans and a half-human is still pretty human-centric. Especially since Shadowheart is functionally just a human with pointy ears, for as much as her race comes up and matters. Hell, even Astarion feels very "human with pointy ears" since his Elf-ness doesn't come up either.

Shadowheart should have just been some dumpy Halfling, honestly.

It's a shame really especially when you pause and consider how many short characters were present in the original saga. Back in the old games you could make an entire party of short sized characters and they would rock.

I've started a multiplayer game by myself (using the second controller trick) just to have a halfling character in the party since I wasn't too keen on using hirelings as active party members.

Faerun seems to be tiefling dominated as of lately.

How do you not hire Sir Fuzzalump. Best shorty hireling. Just that name

They didn't make a Dwarf because the others would all suck in comparison.

I'm dwarf myself (both in-game and real life), and my character don't really want to romance all of those tall and skinny elven/gith chicks or giant Karlach, who can squish him during sex scene. He really wants some tiny Dwarf/Gnome/Halfling female companion that he could bang during a cold nights while adventuring.

well in this world you be whatever you want, but if you are a male and short well you die

I want to go back to a time when Tieflings weren't a core race and required the same DM permissions as playing a Kobold or a Minotaur. Y'know.... like in Baldur's Gate 2 where there is ONE tiefling in the entire story and he is indistinguishable from the elves.

Tieflings are basically just the Hot Topic Emo Kid race, and I'm sick to death of them.
Or to put it another way, Tieflings are like an entire race of Drizzt (I'm sure some folk are old enough to remember the popularity of Drizzt clones in the AD&D days). All "woe is me I am a sexy devil with a dark and tragic past but I'm good really". That is their entire race feature... the same basic concept that brought us such delights as Twilight... and it is stupid.

I'm not fond of those dragon-people either. 4th edition stains right there. But at least nobody thinks the dragonfolk are sexy (well, some probably do, but not many).

Meanwhile I'm kinda glad that Githyanki are playable now... but Githzerai only barely getting a passing mention and Orpheus all but ripping off the Githzerai rebellion (including having monk bodyguards) is like a kick in the nads. I really wanted to play a Githzerai monk my first playthrough... but the game comes down pretty heavily on the entire notion.

Most players seem to be content with the companions.

I'll take any bg1/bg2, poe1/2, pathfinder king/WotR over the companions in bg3.

To me Bg3 companions just seem really annoying and I don't really care for them. Just need them for quests. Because companion guests us like 50% of bg3

You really created a whole new profile or renamed your burner just for this meme.

I'm not even mad.

Carry on.
