I love these companions, and that is rare for me. Shale was the only companion I cared for in the entire Dragon Age series. I couldn’t care less for any Pillars of Eternity companions. DOS2’s companions never particularly gripped me. But I’m genuinely interested in all of these companions.

I’m still trying to figure out what Wyll’s actual alignment is. He feels utterly consistent as a character, but he doesn’t fit all that neatly into a box. His persona is a bit of a sham; he clearly wants to be seen as a hero, but that desire does motivate him to play the part. I’m still not all that far in, yet, so nobody spoil it.

I’m really digging this. Kudos to Larian’s writing staff. Ya’ll making BioWare (and I mean classic, KotoR / Mass Effect / DAO BioWare) look like a bunch of chumps.
