    I liked the dialogue option not shown here, the one where where you say you are looking for lab rats.

    Companions can be hit and miss in this game, IDK how they missed MCA's #1 rule that he always repeats: make all companions useful mechanically. Game also lacks pure mages, a noble Paladin advisor archetype and a ruthless henchman archetype. Instead we got Octavia, CG wizard/rogue which is basically a taller, more annoying Linzi that can cast sub-level fireballs but not bardsong. No Keldorn, no Edwin. And AFAIK there's not really BG-style rivalries, which would have been just the right spice for the throne room proceedings.

    I would ditch Octavia and add something like:

    Vladim- LG Male Human Paladin of Iomedae: Russian accent, looks like Dobrynya Nikitich, great companion and advisor, but... better be Always Lawful Good or else!

    Wolfram- LE Male Human Fighter: American accent, scarred veteran mercenary, village burner in chief, hates Linzi and demands you execute her for theft

    Casper- CE Male Human Wizard (Necromancer or the awesome Undead Master class which is sadly not in game): Bald, sunken eyes, constant creepy giggle like a sick puppy, can be Treasurer and comes up with sick but highly profitable plans like harvesting peasant souls for gold, undead brothels, and turning your good companions into epic evil-only artifacts

    Mordanna- CN Female Human Wizard (Evoker): Female nerd personality, a bit like Sheldon Cooper's GF, very reserved and logical but in combat she lets down her hair and shouts stuff like "DANCE, PIGGY!", could be a good romance

    Armonde- CG Male Human Swashbuckler (one PF class that really should be in the game). Mediterranean accent and flamboyant style, personality based on Inigo Montoya with hatred of tyranny in all forms. As advisor, will do things like give away all your food to starving peasants even if you told him not to. Will call you a tyrant and fight you if you imprison Linzi (which should obv be an option in this hypothetical improved KM)

    The companion list in this game is good overall but lacks that little something to be unforgettable. But hopefully in the next game they will fix all the little issues and that will be a true masterpiece.

    WTF's with all human companions? Bring in moar elves, dwarfs, orcs and their like.
    Also, this game has what PoE and Sawyer would never think of: A true spiritual successor to Deekin. Nok-Nok for Chieftain! Lifetime! Lamashtu be praised!

    Linzi finally got her pet to ride look how happy she is

    [​IMG]

    Creation of best waifu for Nok Nok continues, she already has a dowry which is this mammoth right here

    Also being Barbarian gives +10 feet move which cancels -10 for hafling so now she runs really fast

    Great

    So,

    is there a mod to cancel the fucking elephant stomping sound because it already turns me insane

    Someone was saying on here that you can change companion alignments through their quests, but
    Show Spoiler
    I just finished Trial of the Gods and got the "good" ending by passing all the diplomacy checks, Valerie got her +2 Str and +2 Cha, but she's still LN.

    Was I hoodwinked, or is there another way to do it?

    Give your Warden your best +Con item.

    There is in fact such a mod on the Nexus.

    Way to contradict yourself. Octavia got rogue lvl exactly to be useful - not everyone will end up with Linzi in the starting party, but you need character for traps/locks.
    Also, Jaethal is not ruthless enough for you? :roll:

    Also that Hide Armor +2 suits her well as well as fur cloak

    paladins are p. pkay in Pathfinder

    I even forgot to cast Challenge Evil (+2 sacred) and if we remove 2 weapon fighting and add +4 charisma from spell we'd go +24 on level 5.

    Although maybe you want to spend +1 Divine Bond for Keen or Flaming on weapon.

    Cold Iron. There's a loading screen about it. You can buy Cold Iron weapons in the capital and should have found a +1 Cold Iron dagger at Old Sycamore, I believe.

    Are you retarded or something? Reading a random loading screen is "being creative"?

    Anyway it died, thanks.

    No, killing it without Cold Iron is being creative.

    But you of course need hints and advice to kill any encounter you can't lolrush.

    How about just having a total solution to the game at ready, eh?

    Because an all human cookie cutter camp is unforgettable. Also, that necromancer is a second-hand Xzar, but without Monty. :decline:

    It went near death to lolrush.

    Do tell me which in-game book tells you they are vulnerable only to cold iron, nothing in the bestiary, e.g. trolls have a fire/acid mention.

    There is actually an in-game book that describes a few monsters, the Linnorm included. I'm not sure where I found it but you can buy it from Tessie the Quill.
