How many writers are there for BG3?? [every writer is in charge of ~a companion]
Tennish maybe more? I dont remember exactly, but we should get at least 4-5 new companions with full release if everything goes as planned. But I do think some of them will get scrapped. I do hope though that we get at least a couple of new guys.
Thanks, that's roughly the number I had in my mind. So yeah, a total of 8+ companions even if a couple get scrapped. I'd guess 3-4 good companions and then maybe another neutral one.
I seriously do not think this game has enough Horror theme. The only good Horror feeling was exploring the Crypt with the supernatural enemies. I will not tell what that supernatural threat was in case someone has not played that Crypt it would be a spoiler.
The Underdark or the Hag's lair are perfect locations for horror, but don't do it adequately imo. I suppose I felt some fear in the hag lair, but my dominant feeling was the tedium & frustration from the effort of jumping/navigating the exploding clouds. And then the drama of finding a girl in a cage suspended over a pit was too extra for horror.
For the Underdark, in order for there to be a horror feeling resting would need to be limited. Delving into a dark, dangerous area with potentially no way to travel back safely. Deciding whether to risk pushing on or use some of my
limited camping supplies. Encountering scary (non-gimmicky) monsters that
slowly chip away at characters' ability scores, exhaustion, or maximum hp. A reoccurring enemy that does little damage but tries to give a character such a status debuff, then leaves to attack you again when you're weaker. There's obviously a balance between fun gameplay and creating such an ambiance (e.g., random encounters while resting might be disliked and/or make the game more tedious), but currently the Underdark mainly just feels like the overworld but...darker.
