If we had a (whatever that is to each of us) sexy-as-all-get-out demon offer us power we couldn't comprehend in exchange for our sense of selves... a younger me wouldn't think that's a difficult choice. A me that hasn't been punched in the life over and over and over would think that's an easier choice.

But me that's entering middle age with every goal hope and love dashed on account of bad luck and poor decision making? Being susceptible to those "evil" choices for control of one's life feels much more understandable

(sorry if I'm being weird... some major life shit went down tonight involving my eldest (14) and his mom, and this how-does-one-relate-to-life is on my mind)


It sucks your having a bad time at the moment i hope things get better for you quickly, what i personally want are fantasy good tropes, like the hero vs dragon good vs evil having one npc fit the good stereotype with out being cheesy or edgy in some way, its not necessarily the most believable its just diffrent to what larian normally does, and personally was living in hope that larian would branch out.

I think this is why im fairly disappointed because all larians companions are a very similar flavour even though the personalitys are diffrent, and this writing style probably wont lead to a good minsc of jaheera imo , so thats an underlying fear too. I Have a feeling larian will focus on jaheeras most annoying traits from bg2 and she will be an overbearing judgmental mom type, like shes not changed at all in 100 years, and minsc is going to just be the comedy act, and will i want these personalitys every time i want to be good, nah not really.

So what are we left with Karlach? Dunno what her personality is going to be like but probably tinted with the feeling of being used just like wyll and gale

And thats your good party, no holy warrior or kind priest
The fantasy good tropes i like are all missing and if this last companion is some mind controlled serial killer it kind of sucks
