- Although I haven't gotten too far in the game, I must say that all companions seem quite abrasive. Not one kind word from anyone. Perhaps they warm up to your character overtime...I hope that is the case, because currently, it's a little disappointing (and depressing) to be surrounded by cynicism, volatility, and negativity. At least one or two nicer companions to balance out the negativity would be ideal.
Many will agree strongly with you here. Some have, apparently, seriously considered forming a party with just their pets to go through the game.
As others have put it, Larian doesn't really do "subtlety".
