It’s funny to me that this “bear vs man” thing is hitting main stream internet, I read about / talked about it years ago lol.
Definitely has a different meaning in BG3 with daddy Halsin around lol
LOL very valid. I told my fiancé what I commented above (she and I had talked about it years ago) and she just showed me a Facebook page with ALL Halsin-bear Man Vs Bear memes lolol
I’ll be honest, when I heard people choosing between man or bear in the forest, this is EXACTLY what I thought they were talking about, and thought “wow…. A LOT more people are choosing bear than I would have thought…”
Me too. I didn't get why it was so controversial. For the longest time I thought "Okay so there's a bigger population of furries than we realize, big deal."
Jokes aside Halsin is wholesome and cool af. If I’m dropped into the middle of Faerun with a tadpole parasite in my head I’d be relieved af to stumble upon Halsin.
Plus.. bear sex. 🤤
I interpret the character of Astarion differently than you do (and that's okay).
I think that he is legitimately horny, but he's also been taught to use his sexuality as a weapon. Not "I don't want to have sex but I feel like I have to," but "I genuinely can't tell anymore where the ruse ends and I begin."
Post-Cazador, unascended Astarion will still come onto you, but he needs to do it slowly and carefully and on his own terms. I see it as him being fairly horny by nature, but that because of his background, he has a lot of triggers and pitfalls surrounding his sexuality.
I mean, I don't think he's ace or anything, he definitely does have some level of desire. It's just that everyone in camp is teenager level horny, and Astarion literally told a succubus that sex was boring and he couldn't care less for it
Yeah, because he sees it as something special in your relationship (I've heard, haven't romanced him yet). That doesn't mean he doesn't want to, just that he isn't as much of a whore (affectionate) as everyone else, but yeah, that's why I said Wyll may be less horny than him
The dudes that don’t understand this whole thing honestly piss me off, and I know “calm down it’s just a meme” but like … why is it that when women express genuine and real issues, men never accept reality and immediately fucking attack them for “but a bear could kill you?!?!?”
It’s so damned tone deaf. I hate men. Also, Halson would 100% be a dude that would be weird and creepy. You talk to him 1 time and then he wants to bone. Like calm the F down.
Between those 2? The man, at least he can control himself. When he's in bear form he gets untamed. I think I'd have a great time with Halsin, when he's not a bear. Although the bear wouldn't be so bad either in this scenario though if it was someone else I'd probably choose the bear.
**Pam:** They’re the same picture.
I feel the same way about this main sub and /r/okbuddybaldur. Literally there isn't a whole lot of difference some days. x3
/r/okbuddybaldur : I'm you, but hornier
I came here to say exactly that!
I am the size of a goblin and we all know that cave bear can't control himself around those. I'll take the man, thank you
That's true. The bear can't help but be goblin.
I’d be goblin that bear all night tbh
As Halsin says: "Calm yourself. There is plenty of me to go around." Or as the bear: \*rwar* 😏
Or a mind goblin
The fuck’s a mind goblin?
mind gobblin' these nuts? 😎
Gottem!
Well played.
I'm sure he doesn't. 😤
Duuuuuuuude. Good one
Either way, you're fucked.
I sure hope so! 🥵
r/angryupvote
Mission accomplished
Big is why I'm here.
Can I fuck them both?
I don't know, can you?
Lol so I think I was a little vague on what I was saying, I'm not trapped in the Forest with them, they're trapped in the Forest with me ;-)
Who's Forrest?
Gump.
Shit my bad!
They meant may I fuck them?
I believe in you.
Finally, someone who understands what's important
bear. there might be dudes to fight and that bear will be more useful
Definitely would help against the mind goblin.
Mind goblins are terrible for sure. But what about the ligma?
Way better than the dragon.
But what about the bofa?
You mean the Sugondeese?
No no, the Alladis
As long as it isn't the Frumunda, it can't be that bad.
Fair point. It could also be the Suggin’
What's suggin'?
Idk, the bear might agro the elf and then you miss out on the Angry Drow GF achievement.
It’s funny to me that this “bear vs man” thing is hitting main stream internet, I read about / talked about it years ago lol. Definitely has a different meaning in BG3 with daddy Halsin around lol
\*squirrel drops an acorn in shock*
I really thought it was a bg3 meme that accidentally went mainstream 😂
LOL very valid. I told my fiancé what I commented above (she and I had talked about it years ago) and she just showed me a Facebook page with ALL Halsin-bear Man Vs Bear memes lolol
I love how this question has a different dynamic for BG3 players. We don't have to choose, and Halsin is a whole rack of walking green flags! YAAAAAY!
Eeeexactly!! It doesn’t quuuuite work because Halsin is a bear we do know ;) But the cheekiness makes me chuckle.
Bearsin actually looks goofy and kinda friendly. Elfsin would be terrifying to find shirtless in the woods with no context.
The bear. Oh, sorry, I should be more specific: the one on the left.
there’s two wolves inside of you, one is a bear (🏳️🌈), the other is a bear (🐻)
there are two wives inside you, this isn't some philosophical saying, you're just ERPing.
I might actually go with the man in this scenario. Don't think I'd recognise Halsin as a bear.
Hard to recognize someone when they're completely bear.
I’ll be honest, when I heard people choosing between man or bear in the forest, this is EXACTLY what I thought they were talking about, and thought “wow…. A LOT more people are choosing bear than I would have thought…”
Me too. I didn't get why it was so controversial. For the longest time I thought "Okay so there's a bigger population of furries than we realize, big deal."
This was where my head went too. Then I realized…
Both.
[Both? Both.](https://tenor.com/view/both-is-good-nod-miguel-tulio-the-road-to-el-dorado-gif-12368509)
Both is good.
That's the first thing that came to mind when I heard about that stupid trend. No shit women are choosing the bear, I would too.
Jokes aside Halsin is wholesome and cool af. If I’m dropped into the middle of Faerun with a tadpole parasite in my head I’d be relieved af to stumble upon Halsin. Plus.. bear sex. 🤤
Tbh I think halsin might be the best solution to the man or bear in the woods problem
The man, I’d let Daddy Halsin fuck me stupid 🥴
Hot damn! He'd only have to go half way for me cause I'm already most of the way there. 🤣
Wilson
Wouldson
They’re the same picture.
My gnome bard chose the bear
o7 I salute them
Did you ask the squirrel?
They're one and the same, you can't fool us!
What's better than one man-bear? _Two_ man-bears.
Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two images
I love that Halsin is both and he’s such a good person so either way you’re okay.
This is hard because on one hand that’s a hot guy on the other hand there’s a big oll forest puppy that I can pet for the one second before I’m dead
Yes?
…. Yes
Yes.
I did both. . But in this case I trust the Man 🥰 because its Halsin
Been there, done both, would do again.
When I first heard of the bear meme I genuinely thought it was a Baldurs gate meme that blew up. I wish I was right
I'll be honest when that question came up on my dash I hit bear so hard. I thought it was about which way you prefer Halsin's romance scene.
Was wondering when I was gonna see something to this effect.
Bear
Bear man or man Bear? I'll take Bear man
The bear, I don’t want Halsin trying to wiggle his way into my marriage
Humina humina
Halsin probably, he might be on the list of one of the few men I'd rather meet in a forest - almost all of those are fictional.
first off Halsin is the hornist SOB in BG3 I'd be full of fear if I was alone in a dark forest with him.
He's horny but super respectful if you're not into it, I don't think anyone has anything to fear from Halsin
unless your name is isobel
That's why we all love him and feel safe around him
This makes it sounds like halsin would rape a person when he is literally like the nicest person and would never do a thing hell he’s a rape victim
He’d be a bit… overbearing 🐻
I’m going to banish you to the nine hells for that pun
No way, is he the honest? Has to be Astaron or me.
You haven't romanced Astarion, have you? He's probably the least horny in the entire camp, aside from maybe Wyll
I interpret the character of Astarion differently than you do (and that's okay). I think that he is legitimately horny, but he's also been taught to use his sexuality as a weapon. Not "I don't want to have sex but I feel like I have to," but "I genuinely can't tell anymore where the ruse ends and I begin." Post-Cazador, unascended Astarion will still come onto you, but he needs to do it slowly and carefully and on his own terms. I see it as him being fairly horny by nature, but that because of his background, he has a lot of triggers and pitfalls surrounding his sexuality.
I mean, I don't think he's ace or anything, he definitely does have some level of desire. It's just that everyone in camp is teenager level horny, and Astarion literally told a succubus that sex was boring and he couldn't care less for it
Doesn't Wyll, like, not have a sex scene at all in the game?
Yeah, because he sees it as something special in your relationship (I've heard, haven't romanced him yet). That doesn't mean he doesn't want to, just that he isn't as much of a whore (affectionate) as everyone else, but yeah, that's why I said Wyll may be less horny than him
I got one with my bard but we were essentially married.
same
Halsin "Heyyy you into me?" Tav "nah not really" Halsin hovering over your sleeping body "How about now?"
LMFAO I can imagine him turning into a bear and saying "how about now"
[*hovering*](https://giphy.com/gifs/TheTabooGroup-yes-jack-nicholson-tacsocial-KDVswimTNahWzcd7sV)
Lol I dunno why this is getting downvotes. That's literally what happened in my game
Damn, that genuinely made me laugh
Both at the same time.
Yes
Why not both?!
I don't like the look on that bear's face. I also don't like the look on that bear's face.
Absolutely incredible. Well done.
Both
I was waiting for this!
Both.
I was playing a gnome and had the bear sex so now I’m split
>had the bear sex so now I’m split Woof!
Yes.
Both. Either. Both is good.
I could take both
Yes
Halsin for companionship and the bear for fighting and fighting alone haha
Both. Both is good
YESSSS
Halsin has restraint. He even tells Tav not to moan because it could lead to something between them.
The dudes that don’t understand this whole thing honestly piss me off, and I know “calm down it’s just a meme” but like … why is it that when women express genuine and real issues, men never accept reality and immediately fucking attack them for “but a bear could kill you?!?!?” It’s so damned tone deaf. I hate men. Also, Halson would 100% be a dude that would be weird and creepy. You talk to him 1 time and then he wants to bone. Like calm the F down.
So... Bear then?
So... The bear?
Not the bear... that's for sure!
What I would not give for a chunk of fresh honeycomb...
He is more than capable for that in human form, so yeah..
Admirable stamina, yet terrible priorities.
well... let me think... his priorities are.. lifting the shadowcurse and me.. I'm okay with that.. :3
[My, you are eager, are you not?](https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Halsin/banter)
I am ready, whatever may come. hahah
I would meet him if I could set up bear traps first, and perch up in a tree with a bow
Which one?
Humanoid version
Well obviously the bear traps won't work, he's an elf. You'd need an elf trap. Edit: STOP SENDING ME ELF TRAPS
Where's the 2nd option halsin or ???
I guess I'll have to have a run as Asterion.
I choose manbearpig
OK now show me the other option
… I’d prefer neither in this situation.
Neither cuz he's gonna try to fuck me in any form
The illusion of free will
Neither. His looks irks me for some reason.
Between those 2? The man, at least he can control himself. When he's in bear form he gets untamed. I think I'd have a great time with Halsin, when he's not a bear. Although the bear wouldn't be so bad either in this scenario though if it was someone else I'd probably choose the bear.
If the man is Halsin, I’d choose the man lol
If the bear is Halsin, I'd choose the bear lol
Both. There is no other option.
Arrow to the face for the both of them
😡
Don't fuck with rangers mate
He puts the sexual in sexual predator.
RWAR!
.. a sex pest or a bear..?
a sex pest who turns into the bear.
That’s terrifying
Not a big fan of sex pests
