Hi, It is going to be my first playthrough, I would rather not check where are important items for my builds and make my priority to gather them and rush to thier locations. For my first playthrough I want to immerse myself in the story and do what I feel my character would do in the various situations he encounters. However, I would like to play with preferably only one character. I have heard that unlike in games like Baldur's Gate, in Pillars the game becomes significantly harder with only one character , so, in this case, I have been thinking about maybe 3? I have seen various builds on this site, but most of them also lists all the equipment necessary to make them work. I am however looking for builds that won't suffer if I get a certain item much later or even if I miss on some of these items entirely. What build should I pick for my main character? What builds would be good for these, perhaps 2, companions? Also, which companions would add the most to a playthrough with their story, interactions and so on? Thanks for any usefull tips! Also, even though I am intending for a "blind" playthrough, I am asking for builds, because I am worried that with only 3 characters and missing several items I could have some hard times in the later parts of the game. Ps. will I be able to import my character to Pillars 2, or will I have to create a new one? If I can import him, would that change anything about my build?
