This game has pretty great companions but this guy is by far one of the worst companions in any RPG I've ever played, ever.It has to be a joke or something, there is no other explanation.
>>740402161counterpoint: he is exceedingly funnyi also heard that apparently harrim was loathed (by witless troglodytes), even though the first time you meet him he is poorly attempting to diedwarves and gnomes were the better party members, they at least make sense in a "based retard" sort of way, while a few other are just plain retards that are not even worth tolerating
*hits pipe* you wouldn't get it. professionally speaking.
>>740402161Simply business, anon
Nurah not being a companion is the biggest crime of wotr
>>740403574After suffering through a halfling bard in Kingmaker, I never again want to see one ever againWorse fucking archetype right after whatever Nenio is in WotR
>>740402161Recruited him once and competed his side shitEach subsequent playthrough I just end up killing him after this retard tries to stick to his guns and 1v5 my entire party in Ivory Sanctuary after refusing to hire himI could have Midas' touch, but I am not giving this sad excuse of a companion a single piece of gold
>>740403950I always give him 4 levels in freebooter and make him buff slave tank.
>>740402161heh, amateur detected
>*hits pipe*So there I was, smack in the middle of the Drezen siege, dodging flaming arrows overhead, skillfully maneuvering across the walls. The Commander's army was approaching and I had to make my move fast. Real urban gorilla tactics.Coated head to toe in demon blood I finally made my way to the keep's fortified courtyard where the coward Darrazand lay in wait. I didn't bother wasting my breath, I simply walked up to him and plunged my dagger right into his heart. He didn't even have a chance to react. The yellowbelly had some contingency plan in effect and managed to teleport away before I could twist the blade proper and wish him a sweet dream.What? I'm not entirely sure how he learned of my employer's name. I didn't mention it at all, must have been a lucky guess.Anyway, just as the balor coward turned tail, the Commander broke down the inner gates with an entire army in tow. They were probably expecting some grand showdown but instead were met with a simple Dwarf and his pipe. Heh, should have seen the look on their faces. Especially that succubus, she couldn't stop staring. Guess she liked what she saw. Oh and the Queen was there too. She wanted to knight me but I told her sorry, I'm more of an errant. Oh yeah and the Hellknights were there too. They were tripping over each other begging to recruit me. Not a chance.Together we managed to take the rest of Drezen back. Yeah I was there too. Minagho? Yeah I fought her. It was a tough battle. Saw the traitor Staunton too. I personally took care of him. All in a day's work for a professional.
>>740404114This in turn has the detriment of him being part of your party and polluting the tavern in DrezenIf he was retarded enough to not back down when faced with a party he knows can down a dragon at the very least, he should be left bleeding in the dirt for his stupidity
is Slayer a good class? I think it's cool thematically
>>740404427It's a better rogue. If you want a shield bashing character slayer / deliverer with a few levels of demon slayer to top it off is how you go about it.
>>740402161It's just bad writing, he's meant to be this super badass and competent assassin but his writer fucked up and completely failed at portraying this. On top of that the schtick of being an edgy midget was already taken by another guy.
>>740404427It's a top tier martial class that's a hybrid of Rogue and RangerHigh attack bonuses, bonus feats, and steady sneak attack damageYou can deal absurd damage with minimal effortOf course select Spawn Slayer for max damage if you want to metagame, but Arcane Enforcer is also great if you want access to some neat powersTwo-weapon fighting is the best for them, with the second best being archery
>>740402161I wouldn't know, I never used this lil nigga
>>740404427as far as martials go it's in the top tier, you can consider it a more combat oriented rogue and since combat is prevalent in wotr it's straight up better unless you're like doing a last azlanti run and need a skills more than combat proficency.Anyway as far as subclasses go Spawn Slayer is likely the best one, demons tend to get pretty big meaning there's plenty of targets for it.
>>740404684>he's meant to be this super badass and competent assassin but his writer fucked up and completely failed at portraying thisAnon, whoever wrote him has time and time again portrayed him as a failure, and has done so with deliberate careHis competence is just your headcanon
>>740402161It's sort of endearing that he's a screwup at first and slowly turns into a real pro as the game progresses, but this is not acknowledged by the game. Imo he would've been more endearing that way if it was shown narratively and not in a few situations that may or may not have been intended.
>>740404867You're joking, right? His introduction is nothing but nonstop glazing about how you totally need him to kill a dragon and his master plan is just to bait it and then sneak attack it. The only instance of actual incompetence from Greybor you can call out is when he tries to KILL A FUCKING BALOR WITH A DAGGER JUST BECAUSE SOMEOEN TOLD HIM "trust me bro" and that's genuinely so retarded I can barely give it a pass (and even then the game still tries to glaze him by having rumors of him being the one that defeated the balor lmao).
Pretty much./v/ hates Nenio's reddit humour (although the lines she said to baphomet when you meet him are pure comedy gold), but this guy doesn't even have a single dialogue to redeem him. Plus you have to kowtow to his self-satisfaction or he will betray you.To top it off he's fucking useless too since he joins too high lvl to have an optimised build.
>>740404867his failure was just not killing the balor. he managed to infiltrate a demon controlled fortress alone. that's pretty impressive.
>>740405041Said demon controlled fortress was in the middle of a big ass war, most of the demons were focused on it. A so called professional assassin sneaking there is the bare minimum requirement.
>>740403834Nenio is there to spam 2 specific instant kill spells.
>>740404820I'd say deliverer is better. You get 2d6 on all attacks towards enemies who's alignment is 2 steps removed. So since all demons are chaotic evil you get a bonus against all of them not just the big ones spawn slayer gets.
>>740405029You literally fell for his self-promotion retard
>>740405378Dude, even demonic assassins suck him off. As per usual with this shithole you're being a contrarian retard.
>>740405447The demon army is portrayed as retarded though.
The thing about Greybor is comes across as a walking meme but the game doesn't really present him obviously as comic relief. So you are never really sure if we're supposed to take his shit seriously or if everyone is just humoring the little dwarf. That's right Greybor you're such a badass and an elite assassin, won't you join our guild? All the succubi want you...
>>740405641I said assassins not army, and not they're not. The foot soldiers are retarded but the stronger demons are way more intelligent. That's the entire plot of the military council.
sex with Ember
*tucks his pipe of the dankest succulents**takes a puff as he waddles behind a red dragon with a throwing axe equipped*>"Heh... sweet dreams">does no damage and gets attack of opportunity crit followed by flame breath and next round and dies
>>740405774>>740405447>>740405029He is a failure and always has been. There's nothing impressive in anything he doeas, because he always needs someone else to do his shit for him. He's his own hypeman, believing all the shit that comes out of his own mouth, and has been going around spewing it that others began buying it.Whatever you might say about his "reputation" falls flat when presented with reality of how he operates.
>>740406397>and has been going around spewing it that others began buying itAbsolute copium, if this was the case the game would actually allow you to call him out, instead his reputation is treated like a big deal which is why that single failure takes a good chunk of his personal questline. You're literally making up headcanon because you don't want to accept that the game fails at portraying him like the competent asssassin he's supposed to be.
>>740402161>chase a dragon around the map to its lair>do absolutely nothing to stop it from simply flying away, not damaging it's wings or causing a cave in, you're just expected to sneak across an entire map to kill it>it's apparently my fault that this bounty hunter did such a half assed job hunting and he leaves meDid they fix this in the official release?
>>740402161I had no issue with his character. He’s an assassin for hire, you pay him to do a job, and you’re in need of competent manpower. He’s not there to be your “friend”; you’re fighting a war against demons and victory is non-negotiable. I guess it’s ironic how he’s one of the worst companions mechanically despite being a hyper professional mercenary killer lore-wise; he’s a strength slayer who dual-wields separate types of weapons (one being a medium non-finesse weapon), along with being a dwarf (capping his base movement speed at 20). The end result is that he ends up being incredibly frail as well as slow while not having enough consistent damage to make up for it due to requiring very careful positioning & set up (so he just gets annihilated before he can even do anything, and is completely dependent on invisibility & expeditious retreat spells from other party members in order to even begin being an asset).
>>740406395Truly the most accurate of portrayals.
Name a single character in gaming that has suffered more than her.
>>740406503>he's supposed to beLet's not get ahead of ourselvesIf he was supposed to be something, the fags at Owlcat would've made him that somethingHe is, as far as the game portrayal of him goes, a failure both narratively and gameplay-wiseThe hype around him is not real and never had anything to back it up"Legendary assassin" who goes up against up to five other mythic-powered people just because you do not go along with his higher-bidder retardation that upkeeps his illusion of professionalism, all through begging you to hire him, instead of just going along with you like anyone else would've when offered a chanceLove killing him in each playthrough at that point
>>740404954Because he's meant to be a pro?Your first meeting has him spawn camp a boss either during the Tavern siege or the Tower if you kill attack early.The next has him track down a dragon for you and set you up to kill it.The problem is that dragons are OP and its meant to be a boss fight for your party while Greybor dying is meant to be a fail condition.So him running up and ganking the dragon in a cutscene is troublesome rather than helpful, even though he does chunk its HP and inflict bleeding for the fight.
>>740408134>a failure both narrativelyAnd he's a failure because they failed him to portray him as competent, but they very much wanted you to view him that way. You're making me repeat myself, he has a reputation, he literally gets invited to join Alushinyrra's assassins, Irabeth sucks him off and forces you to recruit him because you totally need him to kill a dragon, the game desperately wants you to believe that he's a super good assassin, and fails at it, because of bad writing.
>>740406985You pick between him and Regill and give them the dinosaur mount.
>>740408134>>740408279Reminder that the Balor runs away after Greybor stabs him with a non-magical knife. This is supposed to be another hype moment for Greybor.
>>740408501He runs away after you cave in his skull in combat, not from the daggerHe wouldn't be all "I'll get you next time!" and dimension hop away if he was being under effect of whatever banishing spell was supposed to be attached to the midget's knife
more like Gaybor lmao gottem
>>740408596It's been a while since I played but it goes>Balor boss>Ally I forgot to put protection from evil on gets dominated>Bring boss to half HP>Greybor cutscene jobs>Balor runs awaySo no, the intent is that Greybor's supposed to be such a scary assassin the demon ran while Greybor seethes his instant kill dagger was just a normal knife.
>>740402161thank god a general thread. I was beginning to feel sick from the giant pile of garbage getting reposted in the catalog.his intro quest is fucking awful but he gets a bit better after that.a bit.
You think *Greybor* is the worst companion?Worse than the one that is just a fucking retarded one-dimensional psycho? Worse than the one that has maybe three lines of dialogue in the entire fucking game? Worse than the sword who also has about three lines of dialogue in the game? Worse than the wildly inconsistently-written queen? Worse than Nenio who the writers completely fucking forgot about after chapter 2 and the wrote some absolutely fucking retarded wrap-up story for?Frankly I don't even like Ember or Regill, since Ember's final quest just goes off the fucking rails to the magic pony kingdom of 'now everyone is friends' and Regill is so fucking obviously a writer's pet character. I only really liked Woljif because his story arc actually seems justified and has emotional legs.Wrath of the Righteous has pretty terrible companions. At least Greybor is just mediocre.
>>740408850I don't Nenio is worse, he takes the silver medal though
>>740407751>always gets up the next day for moreBismuth is second only to Setsuna shy in being the underrated cog that made the 5th crusade spin.
>>740402161>pretty great companionsLOL, one of the worst companions of any rpg ever
>>740408850>Worse than the one that is just a fucking retarded one-dimensional psycho?Gift of the universe> Worse than the one that has maybe three lines of dialogue in the entire fucking game?Niggers are rated lower the more dialogue they have, unless you meant the undead companions.>Worse than the wildly inconsistently-written queen? She's perfectly consistent if you ignore her romance route.>Worse than Nenio who the writers completely fucking forgot about after chapter 2 and the wrote some absolutely fucking retarded wrap-up story for?Nenio is another character that's more endearing the less she talks.The Android in the DLC was a better quirky character than her.
>>740409134Stopped reading line one; you have no taste.
>>740402161>This game has pretty great companionslol
>>740408967It's incredible just how much better a melee martial gets when you give them a mount.>>740409174I thought it was the easiest way to acknowledge I knew who you were talking about.
>>740402161This is the official /crpg/ approved ranking btw.
>>740409220I liked Daeran, Woljif, Wenduag, Regill, and arguably Sosiel.Camellia was fun but a pretty flat character, Arueshalae I'd have preferred if they had written her more seriously instead of a waifu moeblob.In Kingmaker I liked Enkundayo, Regongar, Jubilost, Tristian, and Jaethal. Octavia works as a foil for Regongar, on the whole I suppose the canon party of MC flail man, Amiri, Regongar, Octavia, Tristian, and Linzie is a pretty good set up but in practice I found Linzie annoying, Valerie boring, Amiri felt way to much like a tabletop try hard, Harrim like a guy taking his gimmick too far, Nok-Nok was pure reddit, and the Teifling twins really didn't have a lot of content to say anything about them. But hey, at least you get to say>twins they were
>>740409596It's funny how consistently faggots love Daeran and Regill, can't even begin to imagine the gay fantasies that go through their minds.
>>740409687nta but companions that pick fights with others tend to be more interesting than the ones that are generically nice.
>>740409596>Nok Nok>boringhe's top tier as long as you enjoy a bit of whimsy in your adventures
>>740409746companions that aren't fighting 24/7 tend to be more interesting than the ones that are generically snarky assholessee I can do it too
>>740409687Those two are consistently the most popular characters everywhere not just here or among faggots the other one is the succ but that one heavily triggers /v/ for obvious reasons
>>740409985In what way? The Banter tends to just be>I feel sad>I'm sorry you feel sador>Generic encouraging statementwhile the Evil Companions tend to force a more natural back and forth when paired with the good companions.The thing is, the evil companions don't "team up" they hate each other as much as they hate the good companions so you still get banter in all evil parties.
>>740410076The Succubus is cute, and the idea of having exclusivity with a sex demon is kinda hot.But I wish they hadn't made so many cannibal waifu options, they basically had to tone down how evil Arueshalae used to be because your other options were Wenduag and Camellia. I wanted a cute girl trying to be good that also used to be THE most evil person in your entire playable roster.
>>740409840>muh quirky chungus
>>740410251nonstop talking shit and chimping out is just as boring as your example, you're obviously biased because you think being evil or an asshole is inherently more interesting than being good or nice. I for one prefer a balance between the two
>>740410389>I wanted a cute girl trying to be good that also used to be THE most evil person in your entire playable roster.So, Albedo after Ainz tells her to tone it down?
>>740410487That's Linzi.
>>740410389They didn't tone down anything outside of a one off irrelevant mention about cannibalism, and then they made sure she ate souls which is way worse
>>740409596>shitnio in great>kanerah and idira in boringHoly trash taste
>>740402161Anon, he's a professional, you wouldn't understand
>>740410640Applause please ;)
>>740410606Albedo stops being evil? I see it as her flip flopping between chaotic, neutral and lawful. still evil.also I think he only toned down her rapist antics.
>>740410595I mean, I enjoyed being an Evil Tyrant in Kingmaker but that's because most companions were fairly grounded and supporting characters reacted realistically to having a Chelish King in the River Kingdoms (poorly).But WoTR is more fun when you're playing Lawful Good or Lawful Neutral and tardwrangling all you NE, CE, and LE Companions. It's just unfortunate that there's no way to justify keeping Camellia alive past a certain point. But most of the others can be run despite playing a LG MC, Wenduag just gets to die the latest if you didn't take Lann.
>>740410694Filtered. Nenio's quest dungeon was amazing. Also Nenio is one of those few well written female characters.
>>740410606I'll be honest anon, I didn't read the light novels and I dropped the anime after the first season. All I know is that the isekai loli vampire adventurer is in love with Ainz and he hates her.So you're going to be more clear on how exactly the yandere demon girl acts in later seasons and why its relevant to the discussion.
>>740411134Put Regill and Daeran at the bottom if you want to commit to your bait.
>>740409687The only thing that sucks about regill is his build when you find him. I just cheated a bit to replace his stupid hooked hammer feats and make him a sword/board fighter.
>>740411134>Nenio's quest dungeon was amazingOkay this is some primo bait.
Worst companion cast in any rpg ever.It's amazing that they went from 3-4 cool characters in wotr to having me really think about who I want to have in RT
>>740411179Why? Don't they give you a bunch of really strong gnome hook hammers just for him? They even give an item that lets him use hook hammers as a shield.
>>740409596>nenio that highwhat the FUCK are you smoking anon
>>740411170Slandering Regill on /v/ is considered blasphemy.
>>740411251>RTMCAbelardCassiaArgentaPasqalKibbles or IdiraWow, fucking easy anon. Beyond that your MC choice just changes which other companion gets swapped out, like Soldier MC lets you swap Argenta for Heinrix.
>>740411382He's massively overrated and his lawtard schtick has been done better.
>>740411445Name 3
>>740411642Sten, Javik and Vhailor.
>>740402161>Manlet makes arucucks seethe foreverHow does he do it?
>>740411265I don't like to assume I'll find some random gimmick weapon. Whereas finesse swords are readily available immediately. Then I just had him try to shield bash occassionally since he already had twf.
>>740402161I don't think he's that bad.About a 5 on a 1 to 10 scale.
>>740411197>>740411368Most of the female characters I have played (and this includes characters from Larian Games) are so generic and mary sue. They lack depth and the story written for them almost seems as if it doesn't even belong to them. Nenio has that depth. It makes me hate women. Characters like Nenio make me like women. This is also the same for the LGBTQ community, if I see a well written gay character, that just humanizes the community for me. Otherwise I am extremely intolerant of degeneracy.
>>74041143Never could get Pasqal to work properly So I just kept him for dialogue and always skipped his turn.Also used Yrliet instead of Argenta because I couldn't bother with getting her to work andthe elf was alright out of the box.They really need to do something about difficulty in their next games, I often skipped 2-3 companions and just stomped with my RT on unfair.
>>740412167>Otherwise I am extremely intolerant of degeneracyWhich is why you love an hedonistic manwhore that constantly tries to fuck you
>>740411673lollmao
>>740412272Sten and Javik are actual characters with a personality beyond>muh lawVhailor does the exact thing Regill does, but better. The Hellknights are Mercykiller rip-offs too.
>>740411957Anon, Owlcat literally gives you the gimmick weapons in the same area you get the companion. You get Regill right before the gargoyles steal your army and you find a pseudo axiomatic weapon in the church building.Later in the game they just hand you an Axiomatic hook hammer that melts demons instantly. Going sword and board is shit for Regill.>>740411673Can't speak for Javik because I never played three, but I'll dispute Sten he's really not as great as he's hyped to be and he's arguably worse in hindsight considering later lore.Also, I fucking knew you were gonna have to add Vhailor to the list. So a 199920092012Game character.
>>740412446>he's really not as great as he's hyped to beI agree actually, which is funny because this description applies to Regill even more.
>>740408395Dwarves are medium sized creatures, not small.
>>740402161i mean, why? he is totally okay Slayer with 2 axes, this build is totally working, he is nice dpsit's just you kinda lvl8-10 when you get him into party, and you have dps slots filled already
>>740412225I don't think Daeran pushes himself onto the KC if you give him the ick once or twice. Its not like Larian Studios where the companion tries to fuck you if you get even a teeny tiny bit friendly with them. Why are you even playing these games for romance? Romance is cringe.
>>740412508Yes but the context of Regill's popularity is in the comparison to the cast of WoTR instead of game characters in general. It's only recently that Owlcat has managed to make characters not be various degrees of quirky shit. It might just be the IP change.>>740412573Yes? Medium creatures can ride Bismuth so can small ones.
Does he have any dialogue with Regill?
>>740412709>quirkyOh please, OP's fucking character is anything but quirky and he's one of the least popular ones. The gay nigger Regillfags like to shit on so much too.
>>740409596Dude either played an hour of each title before dropping them, is baiting, or is actually just a boring faggot.
>>740409596>nenioDeath penalty
>>740412768Daeren, Greybor, and Regill are all quirky though.Regill's wurik is just playing the straight man lawtard to everyone else's bullshit.
>>740412167What fucking """depth""" does Nenio have? Her character is entirely flat with nothing to it. She is what she is, a walking redditor, and she decides to forget everything that isn't useful for her encyclopedia, thus never allowing her to develop as a character.
>>740412949The depth is that she is intentionally flat because she is a former worshipper of the Sphinx demon lord that had her sense of self utterly dissolved and was used/programmed as an automaton to bring Areelu's science experiment to her. Which is why Nenio seems like a simulacrum of a person.The execution of this concept is naturally... wanting.
the funniest thing about greybor is that you hire him to kill a dragon but his build is so shit he can't even hit the dragon unless you roll a 20.
>>740409670I don’t understand how anyone can remotely pretend to “like” Ekun. He’s a blatantly out of place against type character who tries way too hard to be edgy, and just comes across as an overly pretentious asshole who’s full of himself. He fails to convey the “strong silent type” properly and just comes across as being untrustworthy & difficult. He’s also an animal abuser who’s first instinct upon interacting with his wolf companion is to bitch slap it, and refuses to name it unless you go out of your way to get him sloshed with wine & demand he do so.
i use most of the companions in WoTR when it fits, except greybor. i never use that nigga, he's the most boring character i've ever seen in any crpg
>>740413317To be clear, his introduction was as a hunter bleeding out. The Wolf isn't his, it's just a random wolf that guided you to him presumably through a divine act.Other than that he correctly acts like a nigger trying to be a lawtard, so I don't see your problem?
>>740412921with that definition then literally every character is quirky
>>740413515If he press him later after killing kargaad, he reveals how the wolf found him one day after he became a ranger. The wolf is his, he’s just a dick who hates animals.
>>740402161He has some amazing dialogue.He stayed with me until the end.
>>740413592Anon, a character is quirky if their character revolves around their gimmick. A character is not quirky if they respond as to how someone with their background would respond in a scenario.Nenio is le scientist fox girl. She will always say something "smart" making some joke about biology or bring up random factoids even if acting in such a manner should go against self preservation. This is how you get "marvel humor" where characters act inappropriate for their situation for "witty" banter.It lowers the stakes because the viewer can not take the scenario seriously.
>>740409596By "depth" are you referring to the vast, empty cavern that is Nenio's cranium or the hollowed out skull required for someone to actually enjoy her lolsorandum humor?
>>740414274No, I think he meant the "depths" of which some faggots are willing to sink to justify her existence.
>>740402161He should have been a Kingmaker character or at least joined you in Act 1 when you're still starting out and mostly fighting cultists, having him doing his heckin tough mercenary LARP while fighting massive demons is just silly.
>>740414798>He should have been a Kingmaker characterThere already was a deadpan cynical dwarf spot taken in that game.
>>740414910Harrim would have worked better in WoTR.
>>740414910Harrim and Gaybore have nothing to do with each other outside of their race
>>740415034Except being deadpan cynical dwarfs.
>>740415137Greybor isn't deadpan, he's seething all the time.ESPECIALLY if you bring the cute succ with you.His entire character is about coping that he couldn't be a proper dwarfy family man while seething that he failed as a father.Just pair him with Ember and Arueshalae and watch him spiral.
>>740413231How "people" think a character being 99% jokes (unfunny ones, at that) is okay because it makes sense in-universe (you just have to play the worst dungeon in the game to find out) is beyond meNok-Nok did the same thing but better
>>740415137Harrim is nihilistic not cynical, you may think they're the same but they're not
>>740415293So to be clear this is an IQ check:>Was that post remotely positive about Nenio?Depending on your answer I will laugh off this misunderstanding or mock you relentlessly. Think of it as clarifying our stances.
>>740415289>Greybor isn't deadpan, he's seething all the time.No? He is communicating in the dry and impassive manner most of the time, even when he is vexed by something. But I see you are trying to channel this into semantics autism. The only thing I said is that they are very similar archetypes of personality and they would practically be redundant if they were in the same party.
>>740415575>No?Yes? He's barely able to conceal how hard he's seething at his own failures. That's not deadpan.
>>740403512If he said this to my wife I'd fucking kill him on the spot, glad I never had this fuck in my party
>>740415369>Harrim is nihilistic not cynicalThese are not mutually exclusive. I guess personality traits are like hats. Can only wear one.
>>740415575So you're autistic and can't read people. Got it anon. That really cleared up the miscommunication we've been having.
>>740415679>I'd fucking kill him on the spotYou wouldn't because Owlcat doesn't give you that kind of reactivity, let alone allow you to kill characters at will, they can threaten to kill leach other all the time and your commander can only listen like a retard
I like him but I got the good ending for his quest and not the shitty good version you get if you don't let him join the guild, I can only imagine how he'd seem if you didn't like him to begin with and then on top of that he tries to betray you
>>740415531No nigger, I was agreeing with you and commenting on the desperation of Neniofags to try and justify her extremely one dimensional behavior
>>740403512Interesting he has a soft spot for Ember
>>740407751>not making bismuth a dragonyour mistake
>>740415667>He's barely able to concealBut he is able to conceal them after all. It's obviously the facade of the cool and heckin' gruff and tough assassin, but it's genuinely how he presents himself. Seriously, if you are going to actually argue semantics of the word "deadpan," just tell me and I'm going to drop. I've had enough of this autism on this board.
>>740415785>webmToo bad that 90% of his story is focused on >muh reputation we have to fix muh reputationand not his fear of being a proper father and guilt over abandoning his family. He's like Sosiel, who is also just as unpopular as he is, curiously enough.
>>740415851That's what I thought, but I also realized your post could be read as a passive aggressive response to mine.So I asked for clarification.
>>740415771>So you're autistic>hears 'deadpan' and immediately pictures nothing but emotionless monotone voice as a denotationESL hours for real.
>>740415872This is just sad anon.
>>740416007I'll take that as a yes.
>>740416001Deadpan literally means no emotion retard. Greybor is very explicitly not emotionally neutral in his response.>ESL hours for real.Ironic
>>740416140He objectively cannot conceal his emotions because he keeps>Getting overprotective towards Ember (Paternal instinct)>Copes that there's "no way" Arueshalae can change her nature (projection)>His lab nightmare/dream is being with his daughterThe professional facade is a cope for him to justify why he ran away from his own family despite the fact that he regrets it. Other dwarves hate him for not being dwarfy and being a dickbag assassin.
>Pathfinder thread>Look inside>Nothing but everyone giving Greybor shit. >A thread of nothing but everyone giving Greybor shit, and a singular anon arguing about what should have been vs. what is and moving goalposts, all in defense of one of the laziest and worst-written characters in the RPG genre.HomeAll that's missing is a Neniofag and Linziefag and we'll have ourselves a triple retard entendre
Know what this thread needs? A discussion of the elephant in the room, that being Aruehsalae's elephant sized barbed cock, her balor breaker, the spire of Alushinyrra, the siege engine of Drezen, her futa cock.
>>740415853almost everyone has a soft spot for that mary sue
>>740416759Everyone except the player is soft for Ember!Explanation: this is a pedo joke
>>740416156>Deadpan literally means no emotion retardIt also means impassive way of delivery of pretty much anything, not just emotionless. You realize that Clint Eastwood's delivery in his most iconic roles is also deadpan, it's deadpan but clearly tries to be threatening by the absence of agitation. And that deadpan is the same spectrum as something like Leslie Nielsen's deadpan delivery? >IronicYes. Very ironic. Since your esl ass literally ran to the first AI definition without parsing what else it conveys. >>740416339>The professional facade is a copeNo fucking shit. Harrim's nihilism is also a cope for his character, so now you can't describe his character as nihilistic at the outset? Jesus Christ, Owlcat threads are a fucking void of autism. God bless.
>>740402161>This game has pretty great companionsNot really, no. You might like it personally (because you have bad taste/no experience), but the majority of owlcat fans like their games because those are the only semi-normal CRPGs on the market and the only good word you hear about NPC is from the guys with a "waifu". This, and WOTR being baby's first multiclassporn is why their fans enjoy what owlcats offer.
>>740416986>copeHarrim remains nihilistic even in his good ending
>>740402161Wait, is he not a secret transman? I think I completely misinterpreted his flashback thing on the stairs in that one place...
>>740417248Anon found the new deepest lore...
>>740409596I believe you are lying and fobbing off your own list as legitimate, since I just image searched /crpg/ threads and OPs and this is the one that was posted the most.
>>740417338i dunno, i didn't use him much, except for that one missionthen little girl and him acting all embarrassed. don't think i even knew he had a family.
>>740416986Because Greybor's delivery isn't impassive, he is in fact very expressive in his rage and sorrow.When he talks to Ember is voice is very gentle and he's begging her to leave the war. He's horrified by what she has experience.When he talks to Arueshalae he's speaking in open contempt, occasionally going into bouts of open rage since he is again projecting his own self hatred on the redeemed succubus.None of this is remotely like Clint Eastwood's delivery. Again anon, the only autist here is you that cannot tell the difference in emotional delivery and just defaults to everything being deadpan. Again, you call fucking Harrim deadpan when the dude is emotionally wailing or crying about how Torag hates/abandoned/cursed him when his former god had in fact blessed him to destroy imperfect creations. I can only assume the constant ESL cope is another projection on your part.
>>740417520>>740417248I like how Arueshalae's stair fantasy was you sucking her toes.
>>740408775it's not, greybor stab him in thd leg, darrazand topple greybor over "fuck you guys i'm leaving"
>>740417637Okay but why run away? Why not just kill the dwarf and then the Commander?
>>740417612Her fantasy is possessing you and corrupting you like she did with Dimalchio
>>740417479That "was" the tierlist. Later it was outed that whoever made it was a damn communist. So me and Hitler decided that mine tierlist is now the new official. You better get comfortable with it now.
>>740417960That's what I said?

>hating Greyborcringe and bluepilled
>>740417852because you already got him down to half hp. You are quite slow, mentally
>>740417967Anon thank you, for turning yourself into a cuckold for our sake.
>>740418247So he's a bitch? Really all I'm getting from this is that Balors ain't shit.
luv are cammers
>>740402161Companions are the worst part of these games
>>740418341Or that he's not retarded enough to get himself killed in a siege for nothing ( because you already removed half his hp , try to read and understand that part). Especially when drezen is under baphomet and minagho while he's a Deskari general.
>>740418416Why did they make her hotter than the Succubus?God I want to rape and kill her then hunt down the Abyss Maggot she'll turn into and rape her again when she turns into a succubus.
>>740418416>are >AI slopSAAAAAR
>>740402161Even ignoring his failures, his one note personality, how he can betray you if you don't let him join a demon assassin guild and aren't constantly sucking up to him.The worst part is how the game seems to pretend the guy is neutral because he just works for money. He's easily the most evil and reprehensible party member in the game outside Camelia.
>>740418580Okay but Minagho tries to run away when you siege the base under Drezen and he refuses to run then, so how is it that only then he found his ballsack?
>>740418623If you swapped his and Daeran's Alignments, no one would dispute the choice.
>>740418684Having to run away hurt his pride, he is pissed off and now willing to make a last standAlso if he runs he will have to face Baphomet and tell him he fucking ran away again, which he doesn't want to do.
>>740418684Because he's more afraid of Deskari than you. Xanthir tells you this, pay attention.
>>740417967It's truly bizarre that anyone still posts pictures of Eren and expects anything but mocking laughter and ridicule for the most pathetic protagonist in Japanese manga of all time. Of all time. Well, I suppose there was that one guy who dates the rental whore and gives her all his money and time with nothing in return, forget his name, he was pretty bad too.
>>740418847>Also if he runs he will have to face Baphomet and tell him he fucking ran away again,I thought he was Deskari's bitch, why would he have to face Baphomet?>>740418908At least this anon is consistent in his replies.
>>740417852he heard graybor say willodus sends his regards. he probably thought it was a larger assassination ploy and retreated in case more assassins come.
>>740418684He has backup and his job is on the line, and he's mad you beat him once and want to prove his boss he's good.Minagho you beat earlier and she is depowered by baphomet for losing the siege. I get that you haven't sunk thousands of hours into this game but this is pretty basic
>>740418623>betrays you if you don’t suck up to himThat’s par for the course for true neutral characters, though; their only loyalty is to themselves. Stop taking things so personally and learn to do business better.
Would your waifu be loyal to you for ten years at least?
>>740418963Eren's debut was other children being more afraid of a Japanese girl than him, failing in basic training, then dying to the first Titan he fought. Take away his own Titan powers and that's where his story ends. He was always a joke.
>>740418181Your S tier list is solid. WTF are you doing putting Kibellah in A tier? She is a bland and forgettable character whose entire existence revolves around being slavishly devoted to the protagonist, and it is not done in an interesting way whatsoever. You also rank Linzi and Wenduag way too lowly, and WTF is Yrliet doing anywhere above the lowest of the low? Explain these errors in detail or be held in scorn and contempt.
>whose entire existence revolves around being slavishly devoted to the protagonist
>>740419150Calling Kibellah bland when you're okay with someone as one dimensional as Regill is just hilarious
>>740419017I'll be honest anon, I'm partly arguing for the sake of it, but actually because posting in this manner is giving me detailed explanation on the characters when I haven't played in like 3 years or so.>>740418991Makes sense to me. I don't remember why Greybor was hired to shank him with a non-magical dagger though.
Canon KC is>Aasimar >Female >Bard >Chaotic Good >Azata >Romance Arue >Ascension ending >Impregnated with twins
>>740419079Arueshalae is >murderouslyloyal to Aeon PCs.
>>740418983I think Darrazand and Minhago are under Baphomet but I'm not sure
>>740418623Yeah there's no way Greybor isn't Evil aligned, he's an assassin who oftentimes kills innocent people for money. There's a reason older editions of D&D only let Evil aligned characters pick the Assassin class. He even flat out tells you he had to "work his way up" killing regular civilians for lower tier contracts. He's scum through and through.>>740418779Nah Daeran is 100% Evil, he only cares about himself and is completely and totally selfish. The fact he's a charming and fun character doesn't change his alignment, it just means you like an Evil character.
>>740419403he was being a professional, you wouldn't get it
>>740419245Being "one dimensional" is irrelevant, virtually every CRPG character is just a trope or two repeated over and over. It's all in how the trope is executed and written, and Kibellah is just not interesting at all. I practically had my eyes glazing over during her dialogues, and her VA didn't help matters, either.
>>740419560what's wrong with her VA
>>740419403He is evil but could arguably pull off ""I'm neutral tho"better than Greybor's "let me join the demon assassins guild or I'll (try to) kill you"
>>740419514Greybor is the least professional companion in the game though, he's an incompetent blowhard. Well, maybe Nenio is less professional, though it's close.
>play lawful angel paladin>ask Wenduag why I should pick her over Lann>this is her responseAnd people will unironically try to pretend it makes sense for a good guy to take her. Will continue documenting how little sense it makes to romance and fix her as a good guy, as well as how schizophrenic her romance is.
>>740419150>and it is not done in an interestingIt isI will not elaborate, play void shadows again>You also rank LinziI fucking hate Linzi>Wenduag Wenduag is not in a bad tier, she's with the average companion, she has some big writing flaws but is fun enough to have around>YrlietSeeing her react to stuff is interesting, there is cause to bringing her around. I cannot put her in the same tier as fucking Sosiel.
>>740419358you are wrong, minagho is baphomet, darrazand is one of the 2 balor general of deskari. the other is the stormlord, who you meet at the very end with empowered maximused storm clap ( fuck that guy)
>>740419632the only companions more professional than Greybor are Lann and Regil
>>740419663It’s not worth trying to roleplay in CRPGs everything is poisoned by meta knowledge>this dude has a portrait I better be nice to him even though he tried to kill me cuz he’s a party member and these games give you shit all for turning them down
>>740419663What's worse: only an evil character would pick her, but her romance is written with a good mc who tries to fix her in mind (even though she constantly acts in a way that would make her unbearable to a good mc)Absolutely fucking schizo character writing, what were they thinking
>>740419071>The commander is fighting against a demon invasion that will likely destroy the country and kill most people>Who cares, I will kill him to further up my assassin careerThere's a difference between not getting involved and actively trying to profit from the demon apocalypse.
>>740419663Because it doesn't make sense.>Wenduage>Camellia>Greybor (unless you paid extra)All die at some point in a Lawful or Good Aligned playthrough. The same way Sosiel, Seelah, Ember, Galfrey, and Lann all die or are mindbroken in Evil playthroughs.
>>740419805I mean, there is a middle ground. Obviously it will never be pure 100% roleplay but you CAN try to make in chracter justifications for the more meta decisions, and you CAN try to RP in spite of thatIn my first wotr run I was playing an evil arrogant wizard, so when Nenio disrespected me in the very first meeting I sent her away knowing I was losing a companion. (I had no idea she was fucking terrible, only on a second run I realized I was lucky to not have her poison my first run)
>>740419403Daeran is selfish and a jerk, but he never does anything actively heinous that we can see and would make him cross the line. Being an asshole is hardly a reason to go to be called evil.
>>740419663>Wenduag out of NOWHERE
>>740419282>>740419282>I don't remember why Greybor was hired to shank him with a non-magical dagger though.he was told that the dagger had an enchantment that would kill the balor. he believed it because he would put his employer's honor in the line as well by stating his employers name when he delivered the blow. he projected his own honor code onto willodus and thought it would be enough to ensure the dagger did as promise, or willodus would be disgraced as well. but it was a trap right from the start and willodus didn't give a shit if his name was tied to a failed assassination.
>>740419805I never do meta shit in CRPGs unless playing on the hardest difficulty and need every advantage, if it's just a normal difficulty I do whatever is fun
>>740419560ever thought that maybe you just have shit taste?
>>740419680>Yrliet is interestinglollmaoMan I cannot take seriously anything you say after that. She's the most nonsensical and badly written character Owlcat has ever produced, and I include Nenio in that statement.
>>740420070>and willodus didn't give a shit if his name was tied to a failed assassination.Willodus didn't even fucking know, the whole plot was to frame Willodus so Darrazand would wage war against him
>>740402161Yeah I don't know who would ever use him
>>740418963>Taking the last second retcon of his character seriouslyKek
>>740420070Okay but why did Willodus hire him to do a failed assassination attempt? To humiliate Greyboy? For the love of the game?
>>740419150Kibbles mogs the shit out of Wendog.
>>740420185The fact that she trusts Marzipan a rape elf over you will never not be funny
>>740420209yeah I forgot the finer details. haven't played the game in years. but it seemed pretty clear cut motivation wise to me and why he would sternly believe the dagger worked as intended.
I like how Rogue Trader/Dark Heresy solved the >Why would my GOOD character take this EVIL companion with meby giving the simplest answer>Because they aren't a filthy backstabbing Xenos.
>>740420248Cope and seethe, Erencuck. He'll be remembered as exactly what he was from start to finish, a whining, super dependent weakling whose entire motivation was simping for a girl he didn't have the balls to nail down and fuck even though she was willing the entire time. Pathetic doesn't even begin to cover it.
>>740409596>edgelord and a faggot in S tier>nenio greatwhat are your pronouns?
>>740420257read the other anon post. willowdus had no idea, it was a setup to stoke strife between darrazand and willowdus. Greybor just took the bait and believed the name given was actually his employer
>>740420456The only evil companion that game is Maraztard.>but the Imperium is evil!By 40k standards they're all good or neutral at worst.
>>740417548>isn't impassiveHe absolutely tries to appear a cool and collected assassin above it all. I have no idea why your loopy ass tries to deny this by presenting the scenes where there's more to him. Just because your ESL mind reads deadpan and can only imagine the definition that AI gave him is hardly a problem here.>He's horrified by what she has experience."Deadpan" means a person unable to express compassion? Ask AI again.>he's speaking in open contempt"Deadpan" means a person can't express anger? Ask AI again.In your imagination, does "deadpan" forge a mask that contorts the person from all emotions, right?>Again anon, the only autist here is you>autistically argues that when you describe someone trait you're suggesting that the character adheres to that 100% of time because it's hat and not a characteristic or a way of speakingESL retard, by your logic, no one has any traits if they are actually able to express a range of emotions. Man with No Name also loses his shit in For a Few Dollars More and starts playfully mocking Van Cleef in one scene. By your autistic logic, that entire performance can no longer be called deadpan. >None of this is remotely like Clint Eastwood's deliveryAutist, I've literally put that there to exemplify to you that the word has a spectrum. Not that Greybor is speaking like him. I guess being on your own spectrum prevents you from understanding this. Do I have to actually find a performance that is like him for you to get the point? >I can only assume the constant ESL copeNo, it's just observation of an EU chap who consults AI for definitions because he doesn't understand whether the word carries any annotation on his own. ESL read "deadpan," and instead of imagining showy apathy in an attempt to seem unruffled due to his self imposed image, he takes extreme emotionless vacuum definition since AI didn't tell him anything else. Another futile bout of arguing semantics with autists, I wonder why it's always /v/.
>>740420185Yrliet is entertaining because she is a xeno who says dumb xeno stuffThis makes her inherently a tier above Sosiel, by default
>>740420589>who consults AIlol
>>740420461>ERENERENERENERENERENERENERENERENERENERENERENERENERENERENERENEren raped your mind. Btw Isayama deliberately botched the character so Fascism and Ultra Nationalism does not sway the heart of the masses. Floch was the replacement of Isayama's repressed desires. Live with this fact however you like>>740419150>whose entire existence revolves around being slavishly devoted to the protagonistThat is not even a criticism. People that hate Kibellah are either intellectually stunted or rushed through the DLC dialogue/story.
Warrior of the Holy Light, terrible archetype or is it viable on Core difficulty
>>740420338What makes it over you exactly, she was looking for where her Craftworld blew up wasn't she, you wouldn't know, plus I thought the Eldar and Dark Eldar are on better terms with each other than the Imperium, at least I don't think they hate each other as much as the Fantasy elves do
>>740419079She still loves me and that's all that matters
>>740421024even a regular eldar knows not to trust a rape elf
>>740421014You can win with any pure class on Core
I will always say Owlcat is better at writing men than women
>>740420589>Just because your ESL mind reads deadpaMan you are still seething about using the word wrong. It's not a big deal anon until you start coping and seething like this.>More copesBeing deadpan means he needs to be deadpan, aka speaking in a deadpan manner, aka he needs to be emotionally neutral. Therefore expressing emotion is not being deadpan by definition. Yes.>Man with No Name also loses his shit in For a Few Dollars More and starts playfully mocking Van Cleef in one scene. By your autistic logic, that entire performance can no longer be called deadpan.I'd need to actually watch those scenes to make that distinction but considering you call every male character deadpan I'll need to have a least a healthy degree of skepticism for anything you say at this point.>Do I have to actually find a performance that is like himPlease, humiliate yourself more for my entertainment, so sure.>Holy shit I'm not even going to quote that.Try again but follow English grammar rules next time. Use present or past tense but don't mix the two in the same paragraph like that. Holy shit.
>>740421009lollmaoYeah man I'm sure you know what Eren was "really supposed to be" better than the actual author of the work. You are fujoshi tier delusional my dude, your head canon does not mean anything to anyone. Eren is a loser and a weakling, and he was always meant to be. Deal with it.
>>740421240you're gay, we know
>>740421287Sorry your waifu is retarded
>>740421024You know it's really amazing how pathetic and inferior the Eldar and Dark Eldar in 40K are compared to the High Elves and the Dark Elves in WHFB, on just about every conceivable level.
>>740421428I hope you're not implying that men in Owlkek games are not retarded
>>740421428Aren't girls cuter when they're retarded though/
>>740421495>Dark Elf Prince fucks motherSee this is why 40k will never be based.
>>740421240That's just a raw statement of fact, I cannot think of a single good Owlcat character that was female. Meanwhile they have several really good or even great male characters in each game, every time. I doubt anything is going to change based on what we've seen of Dark Heresy so far, too.
>>740421495>Wait Rakarth, take a pic, we look so fucking tuff here
>>740421572Yep, you're gay.

>>740421572I don't know why they can't do it.
>>740421786My favorite characters are the same as yours.
>>740421815They can, the problem is that you're gay and anything that appeals to men pisses you off.
>>740421572I don't know, their characters are mostly all flatDaeran is layered, I can't think of anyone else. Their companions are fun more than they are well written
>>740421815Because you are Farquard (a homosexual).
>>740421893>>740421991hello waifutards
>>740421948>Daeran is layered, I can't think of anyone elseWhat's his layer? That he's actually nice deep down? Look at how he treats Ember? That's every character dude
>>740422020Hello Farquard, been a while.
>>740421815Yeah it's actually baffling, maybe they keep the better writers on the male characters every time. There is just no one even close to Jubilost or Daeran or Pasqal amongst the female cast in any of their games.
>he's replying to himself now
Waifufags will look you in the eyes and tell you Argenta or Camellia are well written
>>740422220Argenta is Regill tier, just as one dimensional as bland as him, the only difference is that she's nicer.Oh, and an attractive girl, meaning that she appeals to straight men, and that's the problem.
>>740422120If Farquuad was here he would be posting gay porn, plus Owlcat games are too low budget to attract him

>>740422041His debauchery is a consequence of trying to silence to unending voices in his head, his smug nihilism a mask he has learned to wear to justify his degenerate actions, that falls off every time demons are involved.
>>740422297I said nothing about her attractiveness or Regill. You just resort to that because you feel like you are being attacked for liking Argenta for the shallowest reasons. Proved my point of waifufags telling you shes a good character because much waifu!!!
>>740422387Yeah you drink Lann's cum I bet
>>740422412Not at all, Cassia is my favorite. The nice, demure, virgin girl who no doubts pisses you off, the one with one of the few decent stories in RT that people like you refuse to accept because she's a smoochable dolly.
>>740421060Develop some self-respect, man. You deserve to be respected.
>>740422502>waifufag IQ
Cassia and Kibellah mog Regill so hard it's not even funny
>female characters are ass>why because you can't off to them like I DO?
>>74042054740k is an inherently dystopian setting where a vast majority of people are devoid of basic standards of goodness, and the few characters who have a heart are frequently punished in brutal & horrific fashion for being too good. You will immediately cease with your facetious claims, secondary.
>>740402161all companions are a fucking joke>The paladin is a niggress>The archer is either a mutant sewer Monk or a muderhobo psycho bug furry>The thief never grows past being weakling coward, turning him into a demon does jack shit to either the plot his personality or his gameplay>The Griffonman is just a Duffus that screams DLC forced into the story but i guess i can't fault the game for that>The reddit fox is insufferable>only bloonde elf in the party is a charred autist you can't even fuck becos "muh child">best romance in the game is a succubus thot roasty ready to settle down>Midget Darth Vader is the best written character, but he is shit to play with, seriously who the fuck picks a Gnome to become a heavy fighter?!>Darean is legit the funniest character, he is good with orphans and chill with thieflings, yet the game insist on calling him evil just because he likes dark humor and promiscuity>Camellia was good, would have been better if there was a way to turn her into a vampire somehow>The gay priest is lame and forgettable as is his brother>the dwarf is shit, who'se idea was to take a sturdy dwarf and turn him into an agile job character?!so many characters seem to exist just because the writter wanted to get quirkchungus with their builds

>>740409596i love Regil, but his build sucksit's beyond retarded to be Gnome and not chose a magical focused jobalso how comes Cassia isn't on your "never leave my party" tier? she's the one character that pretty much trivializes the entire game
>>740422395And Wenduag's might makes right cruelty comes from living in such a harsh environment on top of being forced to be a demon's bitch. Surviving the latter is also the excuse she uses to justify her behavior towards the rest of the mongrels, but it all falls off when you show her proper respect and understand her see I can do it too, all the characters are like this except for Nenio
>>740419663Your mistake is playing as a lawful-good angel and backing the idiotic, circular, and ineffectual institutions of Mendev instead of doing whatever works to defeat the demonic hoard regardless of what some hubristic geriatric and pretender goddess think. The reason mongrels even exist is because the Mendevan crusaders were too arrogant and logistically ineffectual to keep their own ranks together.
>>740402161Black Dude's brother I remember being shit because of his classes
>>740423325That's nice and all but still evil, turning a bunch of people into crazy cannibals without their consent isn't morally good, lawful or not.
>>740422835>The archer is either a mutant sewer Monk or a muderhobo psycho bug furryI don't see the issue>best romance in the game is a succubus thot roasty ready to settle downAlso an archer, and I don't see the issue>only bloonde elf in the party is a charred autist you can't even fuck becos "muh child""Ember bad because I can't fuck her" Whatever man.>yet the game insist on calling him evilIt's just an alignment label, literally a non issue> seriously who the fuck picks a Gnome to become a heavy fighter?!That's the point anon, he's a person who wasn't made to be a fighter, but became one out of sheer willpower and unwillingness to give up>Camellia was goodBased>would have been better if there was a way to turn her into a vampire somehowGigabasedI don't know anon, a lot of this seems like extremely superficial gripes with the companions. Like, you like Regill, Daeran, Camellia, describe Arue has the best romance (meaning better than a character you called good, Camellia), yet you claim all companions are bad? Because of some insane superficial reasons? You clearly did like SOME of them.
Daeran has a very irritating voice
>>740422960I lost all interest in this SHIT game when owlniggers were still patching it and I reported almost each part about Voljif's body being fat, while in game he is mentioned as slimm.but each time i was ignored.
>>740423595>Because of some insane superficial reasonsThat's just how this entire board is, people will shit and piss themselves over good writing then unironically tell you that X female character is bad because she's not a virgin
>>740422952why?Arue's existence merely proves Demonic power is little more than a spicy bateryeven the great thot queen gets talk no jutsu-ed by Ember into becoming a magical anarchist fairy so why should Woljif reject his inheritance? it's not like he betrays you after becoming a demon, he doesn't even stay in the mortal realms to cause trouble and basically becomes and information brocker in his demon ending
>>740423280No, Wenduag is immediately upfront about this, there are no layers, what you described is literally her character the second you meet her.Also she's written inconsistently, unlike Daeran, especially if you romance her.You NEVER get a moment of Wenduag that comes close to Daeran ideologically dismantling Staunton's brother, a moment where a companion reveals a new, extremely interesting side of himself, when he reveals values that he pretended to not have in such an effortless and honest way.
>>740421275>Man you are still seething about using the word wrongWhile you are doubling down on reading "green" as a color and only a color. Pretending to not understand why you are being called a moron for that.>Being deadpan means he needs to be deadpan, aka speaking in a deadpan manner, aka he needs to be emotionally neutral. Therefore expressing emotion is not being deadpan by definition.Confirmed autistic then. A human is capable of acting one way and one way only. Gotcha. Want to check with AI what 'emotionally neutral' actually covers? I'm sure in esl mind it's simply talking with no emphasis and nothing else.>I'd need to actually watch those scenes to make that distinctionNo you don't. How would you even make that distinction? Especially with your autistic definition of a character trait being a hat that the person wears. You wouldn't need to watch those scenes, but the movie itself. Don't pretend that you have rudimentary media literacy to begin with since your definition of "deadpan" is someone doing emotionless mumblecore. A basic bitch Leone western is too much for an Owlkek. But sure, okay, it's the middle of the movie where they are negotiating who gets whose bounties if they ally. He is smiling there, joking with Van. Throughout the entire movie, they have the warmest retorts with each other. By esl anon definition, that entire performance is no longer deadpan since he expressed an emotion. >Please, humiliate yourself more for my entertainmentIt was rhetorical, you silly esl. Since I wasn't comparing the performances to begin with and was pointing it out one sentence before that. Basic level reading comprehension, no? No need to be this anguished.>Try again but follow English grammar rules next time.>no uI'm glad I've hit it where it hurts enough for you to start impotently pissing down the trousers. It's always the agitated ESLs who start semantics slap fights on this board. Thanks for following the tradition of cyclical time-wasting.
I like Harrim and Jaethal more than the other option at the start in Kingmaker. It just makes sense. Valerie is kinda bitchy
>>740423740>Wenduag is immediately upfront about this, there are no layers, what you described is literally her character the second you meet herYou have absolutely no fucking idea what you're talking about, if Wenduag was like this recruiting her as a good character would make much more sense, she acts 100% evil at first and you don't find out about her other side until later on in act 3 and especially act 4
>>740422145>Pasqal>GoodPasqal is a bitch
>>740423874Anon, the cave mongrel believing in might makes right because of her environment is the most immediately obvious observation you can make before even hearing her fucking speakLike, OBVIOUSLY living in a fucking cave altered her perception of reality>recruiting her as a good character would make much more senseNo it wouldn't, because you would have to send away Lann, who also lives in the caves but isn't a traitorous nigger.You can have socioeconomic factors and whatnot, and still not behave as comically evil as wenduag does.
>>740423961and that makes him fun
>>740423595>Ember bad because I can't fuck herTHIS BUT UNIRONICALLYthe game will let you fuck a nigger priest in the ass but a blonde 100 year old elf because she's child like autistic, and the devs went ahead and charred her just to make sure to sand off any sex appeal a bloonde elf may havethe other 2 choices are a serial killer a furry mutant psycho and a regretful whore
>>740424047Are you seriously saying that Wenduag has no layers? What the fuck is her reaction to finding out what happened her father supposed to be? Or the way she acts when you spar togheter in the Abyss?Husbandofags truly are just like waifufags.
>>740423595>That's the point anon, he's a person who wasn't made to be a fighter, but became one out of sheer willpower and unwillingness to give upcool story bronow try to sell your quirckchungus "fish outta the water" build to an audience of autistic min/maxers specializing build to nuke every fight in one turn with a single character
>>740424349The best part about becoming a Lich was romancing Camelia before sacrificing her for power
>>740424203Daeran is not my husbando, never romanced him>Are you seriously saying that Wenduag has no layers?Everything has layers if we want to be autistic about it, but Wenduag's backstory and motivations are pretty self explanatory, when the game told me there was nothing surprising or interesting about it, it was stating the obvious. This paired with a really inconsistent vision of what she and her romance were supposed to do, makes for a not so well written companion.
>>740424558vased
>>740409687Regill is the only party ally Lawful Evil character done right.
>>740409687Liking a male character for their writing does make you a faggot
>>740424814Garbage taste
>>740424738>Everything has layers if we want to be autistic about itthere is nothing autistic about it. Wenduag's vulnerability showing later on is the exact same as Daeran acting like a moralfag with Joran, literally every character does this besides Nenio, some less than others, but they all do.
>>740418583Because thats the point? The succubus don't want to be hot anymore?
>>740425078Arueshalae looks the exact same as her evil version in-universe and both are supposed to be 11/10, she looks worse because the artist is bad, that's all
>Oracle Angel>Raptor rider Regill>Ulbrig with default build>Targeting system Arue>?>?Who are the best two last picks in terms of banter and build synergy?
>>740423778>Pretending to not understand why you are being called a moron for that.Insisting on using words only the way you want to instead of how they are meant to be used makes communication impossible. I thought you would understand since you parrot ESL over and over?>A human is capable of acting one way and one way only.In case your memory is shot, the point is that Greybor is not deadpan, because he isn't.This is due to Greybor not speaking in a deadpan manner, ever. Daeran has been deadpan, Greybor is not.Serious =/= deadpan. Monotone is not deadpan either. Again we need to be clear on how we're using words or communication is impossible.>No you don't. How would you even make that distinction? Because if I haven't seen something I cannot have an impression on it? I've seen some of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, I've seen some scenes of Dirty Harry. I have an idea of the characters Clint Eastwood plays but I do not know the scenes you're referencing. So I would have to take your word for them, which I refuse to do because you've proven yourself to be an unreliable witness. You are a dishonest retard, so it's no surprise you didn't understand why I wanted you to post the scenes you referenced.>It was rhetoricalThanks your continuing to humiliate yourself with this reply.>n-no youRight, so you got called out for calling others ESL while having absolutely atrocious grammar. This is somehow a win to you. lol.
>>740418181what is it with gnomes
>>740425678Bring Wendy and Daeran with you, they make for some fun banter.
>>740426068It's just because she could be corrupted again in the tabletop.Though in such a case she just turns into an enemy instead of an evil alt companion since the adventure path was meant to be good guys only.
>>740426068She looks completely different what the fuck are you talking about? Her portrait change between the good and evil versions is one of the biggest changes in Owlcat games, the only one that compares is Nyrissa.
>>740426140>they make for some fun banter.wttf its just wendu trying to fuck?
>>740426164How hard is to corrupt her in the tabletop?In the game, is pretty hard, because you need to be good with her so she won't leave, and then you need to do her sidequest and pick the worst options.
>>740415853because she looks and acts like a fucking childgreybor is a retard that you have to handhold the entire way to tell him the most obvious thinghe should go back and be a dad for his precious bakers doughter he thinks about 24/7 instead of doing dumb ass assassination quests that he obviously can't completeyou have no reason to trust this retard or keep him around
>>740426140Wouldn't Daeran just double my oracle?
>>740426270If she kills someone with her Energy drain attack she immediately falls.Similarly if she does the opposite of any of her "get good girl points" she'll lose points and if she reaches a certain threshold she'll fall.It's basically a fail condition that can only happen if you have a particularly dickish GM that's trying to make her fall.
WotR in general is a major step down in companions from Kingmaker. One of the biggest problems is that the WotR companions just don't fit the setting, they don't fit the theme of the campaign, whereas in Kingmaker every single one of the companions is an outcast of some kind seeking a new home in the only place that will take them, which is the whole point of the River Kingdoms section of the Pathfinder setting. It was really nice to see that the writers for Kingmaker understood that and gave all the companions the feeling that they really belonged there, but that is just not the case in WotR. At least they picked the ball back up in RT and every companion feels like they belong in the setting again.
>>740426524>they don't fit the theme of the campaign>this meme again
>>740426359Greybor also dies as an assassin in almost all his endings unless he becomes a demon guild assassin or goes back to being a family man.He is comically death prone.
>>740426524WoTR's theme is redemption, basically everyone except Regill (doesn't need) and Camellia (true evil) can be redeemed.
>>740426487You can't really call it a "fall" when it's just her reverting back to her actual, genuine natural state free of divine intervention altering her fundamental self.
>>740426164IIRC she is only a companion if you're playing as Demon, Devil or Trickster.She will attack you if you're an Angel, Azata, Gold Dragon, Aeon, Swarm or even Lich. I dunno about Legend.
>>740426684>WoTR's theme is redemptionNo it's not, most of the mythic paths have nothing to do with this and the few that do have alternative harsher/more evil routes WotR doesn't have a theme
>>740426684What? That makes no sense since multiple characters to not need or seek redemption to begin with.
>>740403834Do you think people be softer on Linzi if she was romancable?
>>740426706>Anon actually believes that "just be yourself" is a genuine, true, and really good advice.NGMI
>>740423108It was about writing and character depth not power scaling. Power scaling is irrelevant in this discussion as you can easily mod away your character levels.>>Midget Darth Vader is the best written character, but he is shit to play with, seriously who the fuck picks a Gnome to become a heavy fighter?!You can mod companions to whatever class you fancy. Consider checking Nexus Mods.
>>740426773>>740426840It's Paizo's adventure path, the theme is redemption per word of god.Everything else is Owlcat fanfiction to let you play characters of vastly different moralities compared to what the adventure path was made for.>>740426706Paizo's words, not mine.
>>740424923Edwin is an insane egomaniac, though, he actually makes zero sense to take with you in BG outside of his extremely effective build and god tier special ring, mechanics wise. He's not a sensible pragmatist at all, the way that LE characters are supposed to be. I actually don't see why in hell he's LE to begin with, he's more NE or outright CE than anything. Feels like they just looked at Thay, said "well it's a LE nation" and just stamped that on Edwins character sheet without really thinking about the actual character.
>>740427017look, i love short races, i love playing themthey fucking suck when everyone else can move 30 feet when you can only move 20
>>740427028That really makes little sense when the adventure path is designed for Good aligned characters who, obviously, do not need to seek redemption since they never fell in the first place.
>>740427028The adventure path is specifically designed for good aligned parties, this isn't the adventure path.
>>740426953Halflings are Cute and Funny!
>>740427140You redeem>A drug addicted soldier>Nurah the halfling>A former Runelord of Wrath>Arueshalae the SuccubusAmong others in the adventure path. The theme for it was always redemption.>>740427217It is though, the only difference between them is that Galfrey makes you commander and Areelu gave you the mythic powers instead of Iomadae. The Owlcat fanfiction actually lets you redeem Areelu Vorlesh and Staunton (depending on mythic path) so they actually went even further on the redeemer theme.
>>740426994I'm gonna be myself and make everyone else deal with it!
>>740427465Although, they did made Areelu and Staunton less of dickwads than in the adventure path, where they were evil to the core with no way to spin a redemption unless the GM REALLY worked hard on their own fanfiction.Funny how Noticula's redemption is always canon.
>>740427465Staunton doesn't redeem himself, you just go back in time so he won't fuck up to begin with, likewise Nurah doesn't redeem herself, you just let her go because it's funny, she's still an evil cunt >so they actually went even further on the redeemer themeThe two mythic paths that focus on redemption have alternatives that shit all over it (gd and angel), to say nothing of all the evil mythic paths or companions that couldn't care lessJust because you can redeem some people that doesn't mean it's the central theme of the game
>>740415853Everyone except Camelila and ironically Seelah likes Ember
>>740427306A human dick could've fixed her.
>>740427861No, Ulbrig, Seelah doesn't dislike Ember, being annoyed by her constant fedora tipping doesn't mean she hates her or anything
>>740427719Staunton and his brother were irredeemable assholes in the original adventure path. Owlcat gave them a new background where they were tragic villains who could be saved as an Aeon.Nocticula was redeemable in the adventure path, this game, and in canon was redeemed becoming the redeemer queen. It's the stated theme of the adventure path and that theme is inherited by Owlcat's game even if they allowed player choice to go against it.
you're telling me that aleeru had a THREAD of humanity left just because the little fuck was alive?
>>740427861The only other character that doesn't like Ember is Wenduag and that's because Ember scares her.
>>740428198His cock is twice as big as him
>>740428013There are a lot of dicks in the original Adventure Path.Iomadae herself is such an asshole that she leaves you deaf or blind if you dare get her questions wrong or give her no respect.
>>740428658omg that's so funny, have an upvote
Looking forward to what kind of horrible, awful women the 40k games have to offer.
>>740426706Because she ascended and then fell again. Because evil and the lower planes are always described to be "below" hence why you "fall" towards them, you already know this
>>740428849I like Camellia but I don't think she deserves to be there while Daeran is in comic reliefYou are thinking with your dickStaunton is a good character but zombie staunton is just a bland lich companion.
