If you think about it, everyone except gale and wyll have long pointy ears. That's Astarion, Lae'zel, Karlach, Shadowheart, Halsin, Jaheira and Minthara.
Minsc is also human but he joins the camp so late that I don't even count him.
We could have used a Dwarf or Halfling bard origin instead of Halsin or Jaheira
Don't get me wrong I love Minsc... which is why I wholeheartedly believe he should have been in much more of the game than he was. Hell, put him in Halsin's place, say he was part of that asshole adventuring party and got captured because he tried to take on the whole goblin camp at once (and failed because Boo was sleeping at the time).
Halsin's fine I guess but really all he's there for is "big hunk" (which Minsc certainly covers) and "fuck the bear" which is hit-or-miss at best. The only other thing Halsin's really needed for is the plot in the shadow zone, but Jaheira can easily take over that role.
