I am pretty patriotic mate,but don't name every generation with a stupid name. People are people no matter the generation.

Americans would say that only they can be patriots.

Tristian, Favorite Of The Everlight - A Touch of Sunlight
Posted by Berserkerkitten


Pathfinders!

Meet another one of your future companions: a young cleric of Sarenrae called Tristian.

The Stolen Lands are unforgiving, known for their dangerous inhabitants and harsh weather, and leave little room for the weak and gullible. Still, even in the Stolen Lands, there are beacons of hope. Tristian is one such individual, forever questing to help those in need, no matter the cost to himself.

Gentle and kind, it is as though Tristian was born to serve the most merciful of gods. It is not known, whether it has always been in his character or whether the ministry shaped Tristian’s views – one way or another, the compassionate and thoughtful cleric embodies the virtues of his divine lady, the ever radiant Sarenrae. According to the dogma of the Everlight, no being, no matter what heinous acts it committed, should be denied a chance of redemption. It is the way Tristian follows determinedly – even given the unpleasant experiences and disappointments he found during his travels across Golarion, Tristian still believes in redemption for all.

Tristian never preaches, and shares the teachings of Sarenrae only with those who ask to hear them. His faithfulness mixes well with his good-natured curiosity, inexhaustible kindness, and unfailing belief in the inherent good inside every living person - although you cannot help but notice a trace of sorrow in the young cleric's words.

Tristian always seeks to help those in need, but his most recent expedition to the Stolen Lands is one of the greatest tests of his spirit. Something wicked has taken root in the swamps and plains of this region – something that makes curses of all kinds much more potent and deadly. In search of answers Tristian unites with a bold adventurer who seeks to bring peace and order to the Stolen Lands. Should you rely on the cleric and invite him into your party, Tristian will look for the most practical way to help – he never preaches his beliefs if not asked to enlighten others about the teachings of Sarenrae.

Do not let the gentle ways of Tristian fool you – for those who think of Sarenrae clergy as weak are quick to regret it. The Everlight's mercy is generous but not boundless: those who embrace evil and forsake salvation are judged by blade and blood. Tristian knows how to hold his own in a fight – although he prefers to look out for his companions, healing the wounded, and helping any companions who find themselves overmatched or outnumbered. If forced to resort to violence, Tristian relies on his spells – for the sunlight of Sarenrae can bring searing pain as well as healing relief. The cleric wields a small crossbow and scimitar, a favored weapon of Sarenrae. Instead of armor he prefers protective spells and keeping well-measured distance between himself and his enemies.

Considerate and empathic to the troubles of others, Tristian is an excellent councilor to the realm. As a cleric of Sarenrae, he has a clear sense of duty and can offer sharp insights and wisdom when troubles arise.

Hail to the kings!

The companion design seems kind of cookie-cutter to be honest; none of the companions really seem to have any personality or uniqueness other than a bunch of stereotypes taped together. They should have done full party creation and focused on other areas of the game.

 

[Background Character]

Nice DRESS

 

[santino27]

Had to double-check pronouns after initially seeing the picture. Damn longhairs.

 

[archaen]

Tristian definitely wants to bring the light of Sarenrae to somewhere the sun doesn't normally shine. +2 flaming short spear if ya know what I mean.

Hard to be sure of that before we get to play the game and read their dialogues and see what options are presented with them.
Also this game is supposed to be a new BG, not new PST.

You can have all the options in the world, but the basic theme of the companion can still be shitty.

 

[HoboForEternity]

After durance, it would be hard to too a priest/cleric character

Unlike PoE, this game didn't promise PST level companions.

What's the point of having companions in the first place if they just have mediocre writing? Full party creation would be nice.

People are spoiled, BG1 type companions were enough. D&D (and pathfinder) are not storyfag games.

 

[Zero Credibility]

Well BG2 type would be enough for me. There's nothing wrong with simple companions. I don't know about you guys but I'm getting a bit annoyed with constantly playing the team therapist. Not everyone has to be a conflicted mess of deep buried secrets.

What is important is that companions react to your actions in the game. If that goody-two-shoes cleric doesn't have a problem with player turning the kingdom into New Mordor, that would be a problem.

And that is what I expect we will get. And hopefully most of the companions are going to be more fun and quirky like BG1/2 are and not brooding and boring like PoE ones are.

 

[Jimmious]

The whole game seems to be "cookie cutter" DnD but I don't have a problem with that at all.
Also, once more, I love how SLOW and CLEAR the combat is

 

[InspectorRumpole]

Personally I'm the most interested in interesting quests, good combat and the strategy aspect of it.

 

[Wayward Son]

I seriously hope this game turns out good. I'd love for a BG with Pathfinder rules. Have they released a list of playable classes/archetypes yet? Last I heard they were advertising a number but not a list iirc.

"We're covering the 7 core races (humans, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, elves, half-elves and half-orcs) and all the core classes, as well as the Inquisitor and Alchemist. An additional class, the Magus, is our 600k stretch goal. More races and classes may be added via future stretch goals."

Archetypes are not yet known.

No oracle??
