Yeah, the other thing is that you are allowed to dislike some of the Pathfinder characters based on their ideology. In Kingmaker, you have Valerie as described. in WotR, you have Sosiel, a cleric of Shelyn that is probably the kind of person that drove Valerie away from the order to begin with, though he'd probably only do it indirectly at best as he tends to like to paint beautiful things in both a physical and spiritual sense. I imagine that if the two of them were to ever meet, I don't think it would end well.

On a different note, I already know some of the party members in WotR can be pretty irredeemable. They have reasons, but you obviously don't have to agree with them, and I'd think you're gonna catch side eyes from most well adjusted people for trying to take it any further than acknowledging that said reasons exist. Good thing there's such a large and varied cast that if you hate them enough to not include them in your party, there's like 10+ other characters to choose from.

But saying that they don't have depth is a real hot take. You don't really get analysis like the above post from most other cRPG companions. That style of writing doesn't really beat you over the head with every single detail, they just assume most people are smart enough to pick up on everything themselves.
