Have to agree with everyone who thinks that the companions are too horny. It is very cringe. Stellar voice acting aside, the writing for most of the them is just bad.
Shadowheart and Laezel are the only ones that have somehow meaningful connections to the story. Their arcs are well developed. Then we have Jaheira and Minsc, which are a blatant fan service and are very forced into the game, but still i can’t help but recruit them ASAP, because they’re written quite well. Disconnect between character power and story is also awful. They both killed sarevok, irenicus,amelissan, but start at level one. (Same for karlach btw. Level one blood war veteran without any money or equipment? lol)
Rest of the companions are a fail.
Gale - sexed a goddess? Then did a karsus without even realising what’s going on and now he is a big sad that wants to blow himself up, cuz his ex said so (despite sexing a greater God, he still wants to stick it in you too).
Karlach - immersion breaking “fuck yea!” “Ohh damn shiit” , dancing like that back pack ticktock kid. Not buying it.
Astarion - gay for gayness sake, i fail to see any reason not to kill him on sight. Big sad cuz was forced to eat rats, soo he wants some of your blood now. Pls? No.
Wyll is soo cringe it makes me wanna puke. Boredom and annoyance personified - blade of frontiers! No, now I’m a BLADE OF AVERNUS! I will kill you, devil! Cuz my master says soo. Ok! I will not kill you, you’re not a devil, i see good in you! PLS SAVE MY PAPA!!
Halsin - we all know why he’s in the game. Nuff said.
Minthara - had potential, but not it’s not realised.
Still, i want to emphasise how absolutely phenomenal the voice acting is in this game. Only RDR2 can come close. Maybe. Genius voice actors are a saving grace for failed writing. Bravo.
