Perhaps, but I guess that’s the nature of directly adapting a tabletop module. People said the same thing about tabletop Kingmaker, and the game actually did turn out pretty decent because Owlcat filled in a ton of plot holes themselves, and now their changes are considered canon with the updated module.
The companions really sell these games. Owlcat really knows how to write characters that actually feel like they’re part of the setting and legitimately care about what’s actually happening, instead of being largely self absorbed and only caring about the player.
I was legitimately surprised to see that scene with Lann’s mother for one. She should be proud of her son being the most busted archer companion I’ve ever seen, a tank archer to hold off back line ambushes is a pretty novel idea. They even animated a little hug.
I hope they do Iron Gods next. I’ve only heard good things about that module.
