12/15/2023 0 Comments Pillars of eternity companionsI do use sidekicks, my gripe is that they don't comment or are a part of the main story. But that may be intentional, since it forces you to make some tough choices. And another part of the problem is that the presence of FLC's wouldn't be so bad if the number of non faction limited companions was greater. On the other hand, there's a certain realism to the idea that you have NPCs that have their own factional alignments and would refuse to work with factions that are diametrically opposed to their own. On one hand, yes they limit your choices when certain companions will quit if you choose a path that they don't like. Regarding faction-limited companions (FLC), it's a double edged sword. Yes, they're not as good as full blown companions, but they're better than nothing if you don't want to be stuck playing with faction limited companions. I think this is a massive mistake and it makes setting up a party that role plays well extremely difficult as there is no way to change their minds or "harden" them as some other games Don't overlook using sidekicks. For me this limits the flexibility and amount of actual choices you have when you want to focus on companions and not side kicks. With all said and done technically you could combine some of the people above even though your choices won't match them or the personalities in the group don't mix, but you'll always feel like they don't belong together. I don't think she gets along with anyone. Pallegina basically hates everyone including herself. Tekēhu doesn't like Aloth and will have issues with Maia as well. Serafen is fine with most people except with Pallegina and Aloth. Xoti doesn't really care who she's with although she doesn't like Aloth. Gets along well with Xoti, Serafen and Maia in terms of reputation.Īloth does not get along with Serafen, Pallegina and Tekēhu. Having them in the same group is possible of course, but can be a bit strange.Įdér is fine with most people aside from Aloth although he does get awkward with Xoti depending on your choices in POE1. In terms of reputation they are also not aligned. Depending on your POE1 choices Edér and Aloth will not get along. There's more to it than factions because some characters are also not really attuned to eachother. I think with her you can definitely pick the Príncipi or the Huana aside from the Valians of course.īut this isn't it. Pallegina: You cannot join the RDC as this will force her to leave. You can have him on board for any of the other factions as none of them will do anything harmful to the Príncipi. She will stay if you select the Príncipi. Maia: You cannot select the Valians or the Huana as this will force her to leave. The only faction that allows Tekēhu to stay other than the Huana are the Príncipi. You also cannot join the Rautaians as this involves killing the queen or the prince. Tekēhu will leave if you go this route. From an RP perspective with more freedom than strict faction loyalty you can't really join the Valians. I'm not sure what happens if you leave him in the tavern, but seriously strange if you still have him tag along when you're killing part of his tribe. Killing them basically makes it impossible to have Tekēhu in the party. Tekēhu: going with the Valian route requires you to kill leaders of the Wakahi tribe. Of course this isn't necessary because some of the faction companions can in fact be used to be part of the other faction, but let's analyse this: So from role playing perspective you will always play with the first 3 and then one of the ones from the faction list. There's only 3 party members that are not linked to a faction. Party size is 5 so excluding the PC you have 4 slots. Let's analyse the main companions and why Obsidian made a mistake: Now there are of course side kicks that you can bring along, but they're not part of the main story and they don't banter so they're just tag alongs. What bothered me is that a lot of them don't really mix together which makes creating unique playthroughs almost impossible. Now the thing that bothered me wasn't that I didn't like some of them or that some of them just aren't as good in terms of stats (well all of them). Most of us have played this game many times and have tried many different compositions of party members unless of course you play solo.
