That I'd lay fault at the feet of their optimizing AI rather than the writers. I guess they arranged stats according to class rather than character.I never found it to be full on teenage angst to be honest
Apart from some anachronistic jokes and stuff, the writing as a whole isn't teenage angst, just the companions are. It's as if the rest of the game was written by someone at least half-competent, but the companions were subcontracted to some shitty dating sim writer. There's no way that someone who fought numerous battles in hell would speak like a horny college girl. Wyll is possibly the most "classic" of all the companions, but somehow people find him boring. I personally like his story of a tainted would-be hero.
Funny thing is that if you choose not to romance any companion, Withers even scolds you for it.
A sidenote: there's a huge ludonarrative dissonance when it comes to the companions' looks and their stats. Halsin's STR is 10? Doesn't matter, let's give him body that would put a bodybuilder to shame!

NoFor the BG3 haters here. A honest question. Does anyone consider BG3 worse than Pillows of 4e 1/2?
The writing can be a bit inmature for sure but I never found it to be full on teenage angst to be honest, maybe in some parts of act 2/3? Most of the time I was thinking it was the other way around actually: this is just a fairy tale made by someone who was horny half the time they were writing it. It kinda just depends on what choices do you make, your regular old Tav isn't going to have the same story experience as Durge on how violent the game gets, or at least will have the choice to avoid it for the most part.
Although maybe that's just personal bias, I enjoyed playing Durge way more than Tav. I always like when games just give you the option to kill any NPC at any given time and this is basically just the game adding a narrative to my primal urge of bashing in the head of whoever I'm speaking to at the first sign of annoyance. Helps that it comes with a funny butler too.
It is not. It's too syrupy, it sounds unnatural and put-on. Laezel has a similar issue, she's at 100% intensity all of the time. No one speaks like that, not even radicalised space elvesNah it's pretty good.
Minthara sounds like the head concubine of my personal drow haremMinthara sounds like a wine aunt who has been smoking way too many cigs.
You speak like a slav, which means it's statistically likely that you have AIDSYou see, by discussing whether you liked the companions or not, you are becoming a part of the problem, cum slurping aids ridden Bioware faggots.
What do you when you run out of both hp points?Was playing with this mod ( https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/5328 ) and OMG is quite powerful. Recently reached act 2 in "honor mode". In order to avoid resting too much, I can use my hp to cast spells.

Yes cos what the game needs is more OP classesWas playing with this mod ( https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/5328 ) and OMG is quite powerful. Recently reached act 2 in "honor mode". In order to avoid resting too much, I can use my hp to cast spells.
BG3 is better than Pillows 1, pretty much anything is, but Pillows 2 actually fixed many of 1's problems. Story, companions etc. suck dick in all 3 games, but Pillows went from the worst itemization ever (even worse than BG3) in 1, to one of the better ones in 2, and addition of multiclassing and turn based also helped combat a lot and made building your party decently fun. Exploration is also ok in 2.For the BG3 haters here. A honest question. Does anyone consider BG3 worse than Pillows of 4e 1/2?
