Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Build Discussion Happy vs Grumpy Characters

i was designing a couple of characters to see about playing with my buddy... and i noticed they were both grumpy, unfriendly characters. we might be playing this game for a long time, and it might not be so fun if his character and my character don't get along well.

my bizarre question is... without being spoilery, is the story better for grumpy characters? would happy characters become unhappy and grumpy anyway? like just in general.

Only two characters like jerks, and only one of them is in the main party. There's a third jerk who just wants to fight. The rest are kind friendly people with variations.

I think the story will fit grumpy characters well. The circumstances you will find yoursef in aren't all that uplifting. And there are a good number of unfriendly/insulting dialogue options to choose from. Besides, couldn't you and your body find each other in being grumpy towards the rest of the world?
