I agree with kanisatha. The sheer volume of options is impressive. I can't think of another D&Dish game that offers SUCH a variety of character creation options. It's awesome.
As far as druids go, I love my druid character. She's not the strongest, but she's still quite good and an absolutely necessary member of the team. Her dino companion is one of the strongest members of my party, dealing 7 attacks per turn with sometimes staggering results. Meanwhile, she's shooting her bow at a distance and casting Holy Fire, Storm spells, summoning manticores, elementals... And healing...
I LOVE Pathfinder character options A LOT. I was even able to create a Cleric of Nature that is like a druid but also a cleric. Very diverse teams you can create.
Yes exactly. I easily spent a good half a day (this is just me and not indicative of what it should be for everyone) creating my character. And I LOVED every second of it. Because yes, creating MY character is the foundation to a fun and enjoyable and satisfying RPG playing experience. And then on top of that you also get the utter joy of developing your companion characters in whatever direction you want to take them! And you get to do all of this with six characters instead of the extremely limiting four characters. Such pure JOY!
And no, I completely reject the notion that Owlcat has just cut and pasted TT rules. They absolutely have adapted Pathfinder to the video game medium. And by contrast, it is Larian that is not being anywhere near adaptive enough in creating a fun video game experience in their zealous pursuit of creating a 5e TT simulator focused on the co-op experience at the expense of the SP experience.
