I like the blood and such. The more HP you lose, the more like crap you look.
That said, could they tone it down? Meh. Maybe a bit. Someone else wrote a thread saying something about letting Tav use a hanky or something to at least wipe her face. 😁
As for only 4 companions moving on and leaving the rest behind, that would literally be the worst move they could make in this game. It ABSOLUTELY makes no sense. I don't care what way you slice it, they ALL have a ticking time bomb in their heads. NO one would say, "Ah yes. You guys go find a cure. I'll just wait here."
I want MORE companion options, not less. I want to be able to switch between Karlach and Halsin and Minsc and Jaheira... If they really are in it... And still play with Lae'zel and Shadowheart, etc.
And I want 6 party size so I can have even more travel together. For crying out loud, it makes no sense to travel with only 4 at a time. If I'm going up against a horde of goblins, I'm gonna bring as many people as I have available.
And I have also asked for companion switch during dialogues. Maybe not all, but where it makes sense to allow it. For example, at the door outside the crypt. You have several options. One is to deceive the guy that Gimblebock is hurt. If Astarion has better deceive it makes sense that he should be able to step up and take over.
Scenes that don't make sense are like with Ed, Brynna and Andrick. You're already engaged face to face. It'd be weird if someone else suddenly jumped in. But MANY scenes should allow companion switch. You're a party, not a solo adventurer.
Finally, toilet chain, as they call it. Harsh. Poor Larian. They probably get their feelings hurt by us all the time. Still, there's a megathread about it. Please add your voice. SO many don't like it or a lot of the move mechanics. And we have discussed UI at length also. Needs seriously cleaning up. One button. Stealth all while in Group mode. SO much easier.
