Or I'll actually not do that and have my would-be evil character gravitate towards neutral and good, as always, because while I wouldn't mind playing a smart, suave type of evil with a plan, I refuse to play what feels like a lowlife thug who gets his rocks off from the most juvenile kind of acts possible. No? Ok then, guess I'll go back to kicking puppies and insulting everyone like a lowlife tavern drunkard, because that's the only flavor of evil there is. How about keeping silent when I see Inquisitors dragging away innocents because I inwardly don't give a damn and they are more useful to my army than random civilians, instead of my only evil option being yelling 'Haha, have at him boys, this will be fun!' and proving to everyone watching I'm an immature prick?

How about being able to fake sympathy, because I want these people to be loyal to me? Because apparently my character has the mental maturity of a reddit shitposter. Like literally laughing at the tragic parts of my companion backstories and telling them how I don't give a crap. To make selfish choices because those offer me tangible benefits or influence over doing the right thing.īut no. I want to be smart Evil that manipulates people for the benefit of me or my goals. I want my evil to be pragmatic, for there to be a practical reason for me to take the options. I decided to do an evil playthrough in the end, because I always tend to play the good guy, and am quickly being reminded why I normally end up as some flavor of neutral good. I realize it might be a fool's wish at this point, but I really hope that one day a game that offers you the ability to play an evil character will do so with some nuance. She lacks the raw burst of my Gendarme main character, but she's very useful. I had no idea archer fighters could do that.

Also, man, she puts out some consistent damage. Wenduag certainly will betray you if she can, but its rare to have a companion be like. You don't usually get that, they usually are on the bad guys side and when you have a 'bad' companion, they tend to be either dicks, forced to be there or looking to betray you. mutant cat/spider lady, I had to see how that played out, but its actually really fun to have a Almost creepy worshipful sycophant companion. Dude is my healing battery.Īlso really like Wenduag. Also helps that I got his channel healing spell so stacked up it heals 40-60 hp per pop which is awesome. Like Daeran has really grown on me, even though his voice reminds me of a youtuber/Noah from Total Drama Island. Kingmaker had a few good ones, like Kay, Amiri, le Goblin but by and large, most of the companions were either forgettable or.

Then the companions, on a whole, just feel way more interesting and varied. Like have 'every time you crit, the target loses 1d3 constitution' and have 'Target must take a fortitude save or be knocked prone' in offhand for that super obnoxious combo stuff. I might play a dual weapon warrior next run through just to have fun with the possibilities. It adds a lot of flavor, a lot of customization, makes you look at a weapons agility and be like, fuckkkkk I wanna use that but I'm speced for this which adds a lot of replay value. In kingmaker, I feel like a lot of the items were just standard stat brick items while in Wrath, they tend to have more interesting abilities like every time you crit they must do X or Y happens or if you hit they must take a test else lose 1d3 stat. So far, I think my two favorite improvements over Kingmaker has been the items and the companions.
