I don’t really care about minor reactivity like what a flaming fist will say to you. More what I’m looking for is character reactions to very major plot developments. Which in some cases are egregiously missing. Major act three spoilers:
For example, when Gortash makes very clear that you are not only a Bhaalspawn, but the fallen chosen of Bhaal, Shadowheart as your romance interest has literally NO reaction to that. No comment. Only Astarion had a reaction when I talked to him about that revelation. That’s a massive oversight, and there should be more reactivity there! And then, when Bhaal kills you when you resist him as Durge, there is literally NO reaction from your companions. And after Withers resurrects you, they all seem quite unemotional, like they’ve been sitting there watching a TV show and comment on it or something. And they only say very basic things like, “oh, I knew you could resist your urges.” They don’t mention that you were just brutally murdered in front of their eyes. So yeah, who cares what minor characters have to say? I just want reactivity from companions at some of the biggest moments of the game! And I truly don’t think that’s too much to ask for.
