An overly chatty Magpie and a magical Sloth that live in the branches of a Treant.
I mean... Why not :'D

YES. !

That would certainly be unusual. I approve! o7

+1. Definitely.

Why not! Would make a fine addition to all these not-quite-shy characters that we have right now. :'D I am interested!

I agree. I like comic relief, as long as they're not mandatory. c:

Biggest thing for me is how they interact with us in the end...
That's a good perspective. c: A Triss Merigold would certainly be appreciated! Especially if she is as cute as she is in the Witcher game series. ^_^

I'm a bit fed up with the extra specialness. It feels like it's the norm in BG3. When everyone is fantastical and special, no one is. And this is all external anyway, personality and deeds are what actually matter.
When BG2 has a vampire companion, it's a quest and a little story in itself. The vampire isn't obvious, doesn't just fall down on a beach next to you and casually tag along as a convenient daywalker. Astarion's big reveal scene has no emotional impact or intrigue whatsoever. A vampire story should.
Certainly a legit point, I also felt like this more often than not - but not just in BG3.

I require no originality. It's overrated and all too often poorly done. Well-executed tropes make for a much more enjoyable experience.
100% approve - on all points.
Hoot hoot, stranger! Fairly new to CRPGs, but I tried my best to provide some feedback regardless! <3 Read it here: My Open Letter to Larian
