At the very least I expect she'll travel to Baldur's Gate and serve some role there, because like, that's a lot of effort to expend on a character otherwise. She's also a Bard which, honestly, would be by far the most useful class to have as a companion (because they have a ton of skills, a ton of actually useful but not spotlight-stealing spells, and can buff the heck out of other characters, and heal!). One of the issues with the current selection is that, sadly, they are not the most useful bunch of companions in the world. Especially as as Halsin is a Moon Druid rather than a more support-oriented one.However given how cryptic they're being I kind of have my doubts. She could always come in as DLC or something later.I think Viconia is very unlikely given there's a Half-Elf Cleric and an Drow Paladin already.Delina, with respect, is not going to happen. She's a deeply obscure comics character and would just make fans go "Who?", so trailing her as an exciting final Origin character would be asking for fan backlash - especially as she's Yet Another Bloody Elf (TM). She'll likely be in the game, but playable? Nah.There's some speculation re: Edwin/a or some sort of variant on Edwin/a, because part of the ARG seemed to hint at it, but I'm pretty skeptical.I think in general any human or elf or half-elf is unlikely because of the sheer number of them already. Larian certainly seem to think people will be excited by the final reveal, so I tend to suspect a more exotic species (like Dragonborn) and/or a fairly well-known BG lore character (Imoen should be too old but that means nothing, and she had a very unconfirmed death in the lore - but as a human and doubling up Rogue I think she's unlikely).Helia seems plausible at least, though I have a feeling that they might have backed off on her.</blockquote>
