Most of the bloody Pawns are daft as a brush. I was standing in front of one of those Bitterblack chained Cylopes, who are weak to Ice, with my ice-enchanted mace ready to cast Great Cannon and slaughter it, and what does the rented Mage Pawn do, without any D-pad input from me? Enchants my Mace with damn Fire! Utilitarian/Medicant my arse, more like Useless/Muppet.
Also, I swear to God, another rented Pawn killed herself on purpose. I was in Black Abbey, a few feet away from a chest near the edge of a cliff overhang, and without any input from me whatsover - no D-pad command, no combat going on as all enemies had been killed long ago, and neither my other Pawns nor my Arisen moving about near to her and brushing against her, forcing her to move out of the way (I'd in fact just loaded a save, so we were all stationary up til then) - she just decided to jump off the fucking cliff to her death, for no reason whatsoever. I would have left the idiot to rot in the Rift with the default 3-star ratings and no gift, but I was Godsbaning for a specific item in that chest so loaded up the save and restored her. I'm not sure whether she was killing her self out of shame for being so useless (this was a Ranger pawn and, again versus one of those elite Cyclopes, instead of following me to the top of a safe nearby tower and blasting it with ranged attacks - she had an Ice enchanted Longbow for Christ's sake! - she thought it wise to start climbing on it whilst it was rampaging about, getting promptly thrown off and squished to death...), or whether the suicide was simply part of some arcane ritual to bless me with luck, as after reloading not only did I get the right Cursed item I was after in that chest, it also Purified to exactly the item I wanted - but there we have it. Fun times.
