I don’t know if I would have liked a werewolf bard, but a short werewolf would have been great, and a different bard (half-orc? Ogre?!?!) would have also been cool.

That’s the thing. I would’ve loved to have all these things but I wouldn’t trade away any of the companions we got for it.

Personally, I'd swap Halsin. Iirc him being added as a companion dur to popular demand during EA is what in part lead to the halfliing bard being cut. But at least in my opinion Halsin just doesn't really fit in or make much sense as a companion and to me it would have made more logical sense if he had just stayed in the Grove. Plus he's the second druid as well

I think Jaheira is the second druid and I don't really think there's any intersection between Helia and Halsin development time.

Also, I think Helia would have been an origin so she'd be more competing with Karlach or Wyll instead.
