Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Your favourite companion (of the 4)?

Now that I've managed to play through the game a few times with all 4 companions and finished their personal quests, I wonder, who is your favourite?

Mine is definitely Wolgraff. I like his cheerful portrait, I like his (sort-of-underdog) background, I like the animation for the way he scribbles his notes with his magical quill.

Still, I have to admit I was disappointed when...



Do you have a favourite companion?

I haven't tried Wolgraff so far. I am liking Bairdotr a lot but not noticing much of a backstory. Yet.

I felt Jahan was a bit of an ass when I finally got to see what his whole tale was and what had happened to him. Madora was the char I most disliked. Her hillbilly sentiments really rubbed me the wrong way but at the end of the game (no spoilers will be revealed here) when I finally got her full story I found myself being rather more sympathetic towards her so oddly enough my favorite right now is probably Madora.

Well the problem with Madora and Jahan is that their quests are very simplistic, or if they can be even considered quests (a la Cyseal level) rather than just flavor quests. No choices to make with them. Now of course flavor text to some degree better than non-flavor-text henchmen. But I wouldn't (didn't) play with them in a second run. Gameplay wise (which in my subjective definition include C&C and whatnot) they make no difference.

The new ones I haven't played yet. We'll see.

I haven't had a chance to play with the two new ones yet, but I slightly favored Jahan over Madora. His early dialogue pretty clearly telegraphed the big reveal to come later, but what struck me as amusing/interesting/different - and his outrage over the discovery of the slaughtered animals in the witch's cave really brought this home - is that he mixed an attitude toward nature that is usually associated with fantasy-genre druids, who stereotypically abhor necromancy as unnatural, with the notion of necromancy as an almost artistic ideal.
