A baby griffon dies (if you make a specific choice in the endgame) - he's basically like a winged puppy, so it's worth mentioning

A scene of a Halla being sacrificed bloodily. You have the option to avert your gaze.

There is a prevalent theme around Dragons (and to a lesser degree, other mythical creatures) being mistreated.

Sort of? A giant wolf fights a dragon and gets superficial wounds.

Yes, you can see dead Halla (deer-like animal) in one part of a map, and in another quest you set out corpses of deepstalkers (dinosaur/raptor) for bait for a dragon.

As seen in a trailer, literally one of the main characters is a "Dragon hunter" and is seen fighting a furious animalistic dragon. So yeah, there DEFINITELY will be dragon killing.

EDIT: Yeah… The answer is obvious and totally not surprising since this whole franchise is basically about dragon killing and enslaving… smh

No, but there are swamp environments with non-aggresive lizard creatures that could be unsettling if you have a fear of alligators.

No, but there is an underwater scene where you can see a a large, ambiguous shadow of a sea creature in the background that might be unnerving.

Lots of enemies are shown to be "altered" in someway. Boils on their bodies, too many horns, things of that nature. A main antagonist's body is disproportionately long with too many arms + tentacles, and her eyes are replaces with fleshy masses as the game progresses.

A main companion is an amputee, but her leg is long since healed, and she never talks in detail about how she lost her leg.

However, a minor antagonist had her hand cut off offscreen, and the hand is seen creepily crawling around on its own.

An antagonist's eyes become more mutilated over the course of the game, looking 'fleshy' rather than having an eye in the socket.

A good bit of blood, including a scene where a minor antagonist is bathing in it, and lots of gross gore-like things in the environment. Including things that look like intestines and boils/blisters.

Two major characters die, and these deaths are unavoidable.

(MAJOR SPOILERS)
1. A character is stabbed in the beginning of the game and appears to be fine and bandaged up in the next scene, but this is a ruse and he's actually dead.
2. In the endgame, you need to pick between Davrin and Harding to lead a mission. Whoever you pick will die.

Offscreen, and in the past. A companion talks about how his parents died and you visit their graves with him.

A companion is kidnapped and held captive before you meet him, and his first quest is for you to rescue him. There are a few more instances of offscreen kidnapping throughout the game, or missions where you have to rescue people who have been taken captive.

One of the main companions arcs is that he is/was forced to be possessed by a demon against his will.

Other non-companion NPCs in side quests are occasionally shown to be possessed by demons or controlled via magic.

During the quest The Singing Blade the enemy ghoul has a vomiting attack which happens multiple times throughout the fight. Audio is not too bad.

Sometimes people vomit outside the Cobbled Swan Bar in Dock Town. Audio was not too triggering for me.

One of the companions has moments where she stops talking mid sentence or stares into space/seems to be "not there", which could be reminiscent of dissociation.

Yes - kind of. There is an underwater area that is protected by magic, so you can walk around and breathe. But the barrier is invisible so you can see sea creatures/coral/water past it.

LOTS. Fictional religion. But there are plenty of conversations about questioning faith/being very shaken about not knowing what to believe any more, religious discrimination, and different gods intentions.

"Demons" is used in-universe as a term for malevolent spirits, they often represent a sin (envy, wrath) or negative emotion of some kind. A party member is possessed by one of these demons.
