If you're playing a whacky pally, you probably want some more healing choices beyond Lay On Hands, so I'd say get Shadowheart for that. For more stealthy lockpicky stuff you might want Astarion. Last companion might be someone that's good at crowd control, so probably either Wyll or Gale.
 
If they do add DLC I hope they add the Oath of Conquest. I want to be a Crom worshipping - fuck you WotC, I'll worship what I want - juggernaut slaughtering everything that gets in my way.
 
I just hit the start of Act III and im at the 'over saturated' part of playing.
 
something I stumbled upon in my shitposting folder which made me think of this thread

One thing that really irks me with the writing is how passive aggressive the narrator can get when you act evil. It’s especially apparent from my perspective playing both a good half-elf acolyte bard and an evil lolth-sworn criminal drow warlock side-by-side.

The narration passive aggressively chides me for letting some idiot tiefling kid die after she got caught stealing a valuable idol; like no shit bitch what part of “lolth-sworn criminal” did you miss? Why should I care about the kid’s safety when her parents are clearly poor and I know that said idol she tried taking is going to be as good as mine regardless after I kill enough prissy Druid hippies.

Let's be real, most of the time when it comes to JRPGs you don't really need to care about Defense either.

Just think of it as having a shitty DM which makes it that much more authentic.

That said I would never play a D&D game with Larian staff.
 
One thing I haven't been able to figure out is if you have a proficiency from background, and again from class, are they additive, or not?

The game also screams at you with 4-5 options that basically boils down to save the child either through dice rolls or class abilities. It's like they really don't want you to stand by and do nothing.
 
Elfie goth girl at least likes you saving kids so that's a good pre-view for later.

I say it is a good buy, you can do evil, good, merc and dark urge, especially with a sale. And making blizzard seethe over a working final product is chef's kiss.
 
It absolutely does. Are there any other CRPGs that let you save mid-combat or mid-dialog?
I really want to go on some unhinged rant on some things to a hyper-autistic degree, but I think I'm just going to say that I despise how games are designed with it in mind. I know it's hard to design persistence when everyone will just reload when they hit a spot they don't like. I'm probably the worst one here at it, because I fear softlocking myself or worse having content locked out because of a choice I didn't even know about.

People here shit on Disco Elysium but it's exactly what I'm looking for when it comes to a game that actually makes failure fun.
