Pathfinder Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Game of the Year Edition

I found it funny that a good chunk of Arue's Romance path is not getting to shag her...unless you want her to revert to being a filthy demon that is.

It's like you've never met a woman before

 

[Desiderius]

Or that the only women he’s met are like Shadowheart.

Currently undergoing a Crusader Angel run with deity Iomedae and longsword for the memes. Ember and Arueshalae are definetely the worstly written companions with insufferable dialogues.

Worse than Seelah? Nenio? Sosiel?

 

[Haplo]

I kind of like Nenio. I mean she's a bit over the top and sure, can be annoying. But I like her.
I also like Woljif.
Ember is okay, I guess.
I respect what they did with CamCam. Wenduag... I'm not sure. But they made her different too, so that's something.
I don't mind Lann or Greybor much. Although seasoned assassin my ass.

Regill and Daeran are simply brilliant.

As for the rest...
AruAru is such a banal, obvious waifu bait.
Seelah... a loud and not really honourable, respectful or charsimatic negro paladin womyn... nuff said.
Sosiel on the other hand has all the personaly of a cardboard cutout...

 

[Longes]

What engine upgrade is this guy talking about? I can't find any info in the patch notes.

According to the devs it's because of a Unity version update. I easily believe this - Unity is ass and there are many situations where you need to recompile and replace the entire project because of some minor changes.

Yeah worse than them. Those three are in the lower tier of course.

 

[Yosharian]

Well we are gonna have to do agree to disagree on that one lmao

Nenio is the worst piece of fucking shit I’ve ever encountered in a video game. She embodies every whedonish self-referential cutesy putesy 4th wall breaking “lit-student-trying-her-hand-at-writing”-crap bullshit trope that has rampaged through media for the last fifteen years. Everything meant to be clever is not, and everything meant to be meta is just eye-rollingly childish. She is the digitized avatar of everything terrible about modern pop culture writing

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Eh, Ember was a bit of Mary Sue with her bullshit Wololoo ability (really? She's the reason why Noct became the Redeemer Queen? Bugger off), so I can see why people dislike her.
Sosiel and Seelah are still pretty bland though. Seelah is a shit Paladin and Sosiel's romance path is cringe and way too easy to trigger.

Nenio only passes because she annoys the hell out of demon lords and that amuses me. Other than that she's pretty cringe too. I dunno why she's true Neutral when her antics are more Chaotic. But then again, Owlcat can't into alignment (which is a mediocre system anyway. For its faults, Pillars was onto something with that personality mechanic)

As somebody pointed out in the thread before, somehow the most insufferable companions are also the most viable for powergaming. So you always end up taking couple of them on the ride and spend every dialogue smashing space button as fast as possible to skip the cringe.

Reality is whatever I want it to be.

Easier to just do this:

B = Mediocre, nothing particularly good or bad, or good balances out bad.

 

[Grunker]

behead those who do not absolute abyss tier nenio

 

[Longes]

Imagine disliking the autistic fox wife

As bad as Nenio is, she HAS a personality. She gets a reaction out of me. Aru and Ember are literally textual diarrhea designed to be clicked though. Their voices add to this, at least Nenio displays emotion and sounds excited once in a while. Ember and Aru have the emotional depth of a teaspoon. Plus Nenio pisses off other party members once in a while.

If I had more tiers though then I'd rate Nenio somewhere between C and D there along with Sosiel.

Imagine liking a literal furry.
At least you can keep her in human form.

Nenio pisses off everyone in the universe.

Easier to just do this:

If you don't mind me asking, why Harrim over Tristian? Tristian is the best healer in Kingmaker imo. Harrim is mediocre at everything.

S-tier is spot on, though. I'd also add Nok-Nok there.

 

[processdaemon]

I didn't mind Arue until the locking herself in horny jail scene, that kind of pandering feels like the writers are directly insulting me

 

[Grunker]

Jubilost is the only S-tier in the series

I'm going purely by character, not builds.

Tristian is boring and then gets revealed to be a fucking angel and still manages to be boring somehow. Harrim has a relatively amusing shtick that fits with the universe and isn't out of place, what Nenio should have been rather than an over the top copy of Big Bang Theory.

Nok-Nok is a great character but I don't think he's quite good enough to be the top. It's kind of a low-effort archetype to write.

 

[gurugeorge]

How can you put Jubilost above Nenio? They both fill the same "annoying nerd" gap, but apart from Jubilost's voice actor being just a better actor, in terms of the writing Nenio is far more interesting.

 

[Yosharian]

Tristian has some devastating lategame nuking potential and early game he can support exceptionally well with Blessing of the Faithful. And with mods you can get him to take the Glory domain which is just broken.

Harrim is just meme-tier by comparison with his janky aura and Touch of Chaos shenanigans

But these are actual mechanical considerations, pretty sure people are just talking about personality right now
