Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Don't confuse special snowflake with intreasting

Honestly a lot of the NPCs from BG1 had really unique drives and were goofy and precious. I feel like people are being willfully ignorant with these takes.

>Viconia was a renegade shar worshipping Drow. The only reason she even mentions Shar is because it makes her more trustworthy than the assumption of her beliefs.

>Shar'Teel is a ridiculous man hating female fighter

>Xan is a nihilist elf with a special magic sword.

>Tiax RULES

>Minsc is totally a cornball precious character and Edwin too.

I mean what NPCs in BG1 were even written straight? Ajantis, Kivan, and uh Yeslick I guess?

BG2 has even MORE special characters who come with even unique armors and weapons, unique stories, and absolutely huge personalities.

I think alternatively Shadowheart not wanting to be open about her Shar worship honestly isn't that bad and Astarion hiding being a vampire is also entirely understandable. Gale maybe is a little too "larger than life" but that's it. Also the whole thing of Wyll hiding that he made a deal with a demon, like buddy I've seen you catch Eldritch blast! I think people saying "these characters are a little too cornball for Baldur's Gate" maybe spent too much time with custom parties. I feel like they really fit in.
