... On the bright side - this experience makes the BG3 companionship seem a lot less weird."Vampire spawn? Pfff, try being an aasimar in a universe where they don't even exist. The lover of a goddess? Hah, I am the chosen of my own personal Devil and have an entire cult kneeling at my feet."
Exactly XD
I do get that some people prefer simpler stories and simpler characters... heck, in general I do too and that's what I am trying to have in my current BG3 playthrough: I'm playing as a human wizard and only recruited Shadow, Wyll and Gale, completely skipping Astarion and Lae'zel. My char is just a normal scholar at the beginning, no great aspirations or talent (I intentionally made a super weird build all about acid, necrotic and poison, even having a frog/spider/rat familiar summoned at all times) but she will really get sucked into studying the tadpole/absolute's cult kinda like Nettie and Halsin are doing. Like, she's basically a chemist/magic disease researcher more than anything else and I am enjoying the synergy with the companions so far. Its a very different playthrough from the others I tried and I still enjoy that the companions are 'weirder' and more extravagant than my PC.
