20 years of companions - 27/03/22 01:22 AM
Without going into old school DOS stuff , a list of RPGs multi-controllable companion/squad RPG games and how many they had. What’s your favorite?
Really shows how much the numbers dropped that last decade. Always quality>quantity but it doesn't feel we are getting that in recent games. Just prettier graphics with less content.
Pathfinder being the notable exception.
In hopes that Larian can at least hit that 10+ number…Please!
