Someone mentioned earlier how he may have been originally planned as a companion, and honestly? That would have been great. I've picked the game back up recently due to needing a GPU replacement on my PC, and having been restarting often due to not knowing what I wanted to play,
Kar'niss as a companion? Sign me up!
Oop, my apologies - I meant that people had been mentioning that about Abdirak, not Kar'niss!
I would gladly take both as companions, though.
He could have been a great alternative to Halsin or Jahira, I imagine he could have had some great drow magic. Having both druids like I did on my first playthrough gave me a bit too much druid magic.
You can really tell Halsin wasn't originally planned to be a full companion, simply due to being able to pick up Jaheira later. I'm absolutely fine with Jaheira - second favorite companion from the original Baldur's Gate duology! But Halsin was... kind of not needed. He didn't even really need to be a full companion in order to be romanceable, imo. But that's a topic for a different thread!
I feel for you on finding a GPU in the current marked, prices are insane.. I hope you find something decent!
Oh, I was able to RMA from the distributor I originally bought the PC from! Just waiting on FedEx, at this point. My GPU still works, just was showing the obvious signs of failure (random artifacts when under strain, gyrating textures in game, etc.). I'll be back in business soon, hopefully!
Scratch and Owly are not side characters, they are the main characters
I was actually kind of thinking that!
Honestly - fair. They're the true showstoppers!
Still wish we could name our owlbear friend though. ;;
