Lack of light-heartedness?
Hmm..It's not the slapstick Minsc and Boo [yet], but there is ample dialogue that is funny in its own right, for all companions; even Laezel and Shadowheart have their funny moments, as well as endearing ones....
Have you...
1 tried out "Speak with animals" on, say, a squirrel? Or the frog in the swamp? Or just any animal [besides Teela], really?
2 Had Gale die on you?
3Had Mattis flip his coin until he didn't want to, anymore? Or Mattis in general?
4 Listened to the bard as she finally found the words to her song?
5 Found the work-in-progress Half-Ogre?
6 Said 'baaaah!' ?
7 Played Chicken-Chasin'?
8 Found out what Tieflings taste like?
.. Just a quick grab, I think there's plenty of moments that relieve tension. I think the game does a well enough at this.
