The BG3 companions do have more layers than the BG2 companions but there just aren't many of them. One of the reasons BG2 has such high replay value is the number of companions - there are some dialogues that only come up if you have Yoshimo, Viconia and Haer Dalis in your party . . .
No, they do not.
They have trinkets and gimmicks galore, but it takes a very ‘special’ person to think that = ‘layers of depth’. Lol to that, lol and lol again.
BG3, I would say, have the worst possible writers going at the moment. They’re even banking on a former Gamespot critic to deliver. A ‘game critic’ is writing the characters – says everything you need to know.
The latest trailers expose how lacklustre and tame and limp and very small the whole thing is – it’s the narrative equivalent of dandruff.
It’s mind-boggling (IMO) how anyone can buy into these side-shows over the simply brilliant BG2 equivalents.
This game will be forgotten for sure. They haven’t a clue what they want to do with the thing. Outside of the cult, pretty much everyone sees this thing for the dud that it is.
Anyway, ‘let them off’. Let them spend their millions on ‘live capture’ for their horrible lines…
It could not be worse, really.
