Wyll pisses me off to no end with the unwarranted arrogance and clear bullshit facade. Turns out he is an Incel to some winged skank dragging him about like some horny puppy missing his masters leg. Sort your own life out mate ain't got no time for your puppydog crap. Mmm be good if you could turn him into a soul coin to buy the services of his cambion though.
I kind of get Lae'zel, reminds me of being in the army. That is of course before you realise everything taught to you is a steaming pile of indoctrination. Going to be interesting when she finds out her entire world view is a load of bollocks to make her a more compliant minion.
Gale is okay, he banged a god... most dudes would have just put that down to experience and used it to bro-down in the pub. However he ruined that when he did some dumb shit to get her back. I could relate if I was 14, Ill jump off that bridge baby!!! type of thing. Dumbarse.
Astarion is walking melodrama with a side order of complete dickhead. I could probably drink enough Jack Daniels to find him girly enough to sleep with but honesly Mr Jack could convince most people to join the menage a troi with the ogre and bugbear in the barn. In short I smashed his head in every playthough so far (350hrs).
I agree Shadowheart comes across as "strong female character" without the Marysue. I mean if you are trying to hide your nature I would imagine acting altrusitic would be a better guise no? Apparently being perpetually on the rag and tearing the balls off anyone asks you a question is the way forward (ladyballs too). I would have thought a clerics diety would be pretty obvious and a common talking point to people who meet them? If you say "hey who do you pray to then Shadowheart" and she replies "A nice little god called nonyafucking business now fuck off and die" some people may think "hey maybe this bird has something to hide"?
Don't get me wrong as far as NPC's are concerned they are oscar winning if you compare it to "Mass Effect my face is tired" on release. Lots of other NPC's are really good. Wouldn't mind recruiting that Tiefling Bard that sings, not all companions need a bloody tadpole.
