How about like in BG 2, where you had to work for it?? It took a while, you had to help the companion resolve personal issues, and you couldn't do too many things which they disagreed with... you know, like in real life...
You call BG's take "more realistic," I call it the same checklist with a patina of nostalgia.

Has anyone else noticed that the skills you get as a Watcher/Herald of Berath change depending on (I assume) your dispositions?
Phantoms of the Lost
Chorus of the Lost
Mercy for the Lost
Sympathy for the Lost
No Pity for the Lost
Commandment of the Lost
No Time for the Lost
Visage of Death's Herald
Ire of Death's Herald
Mien of Death's Herald
Wit of Death's Herald
Awe of Death's Herald
Cruelty of Death's Herald
Majesty of Death's Herald
Raiment of Death's Herald
I got "Wit of Death's Herald" I assume because "Clever" is my highest disposition. Which ones did you get? Can you tell which disposition they're associated with?

I personally enjoyed having the returning companions. Except for the fact that there are 3 of them, and only 5 party slots now. It made it really painful to choose who to take with me.
Maia is an interesting character, but because I HATE the RDC I am seriously considering just not recruiting her next time.(Does that mean her friends' assassination missions fail?)
Xoti is obnoxious but Priests are just too useful and she is the only character in the game with that class option. Next time I might tell her to keep the souls and let her go crazy so I can get that sweet, sweet Threshing lantern aura.
Tekēhu is nice if only for all that ~PLOT RELEVANCE~ and being the only party member who can pull off the cool Huana clothing.
Serafen is interesting in concept but his cipher subclass is VERY risky to use. He looks good in one of the cool Principi clothings though.
Rekke, Ydwin, and to a lesser extent Mirke were more interesting than I thought they would be, and I hope they are expanded in DLC or in the next game.
Konstanten and Fassina... not so much. Their motivations for joining the party were really weak. Fassina at least was fun to kit out as a weapon-summoning, touch-spell-using Conjurer, but Konstanten was boring.- 1

Concelhaut. He keeps following you around Eora, obviously he's got a major crush on you.
yeah this one xD He followed you even with only skull...
He complains about you ruining his schemes, but he's just being tsundere. Secretly he follows you hoping you'll cut off his skull and carry it around as a pet for another game.

More seriously, a Rekke romance would be fun. Ship-Rekke? Rekked ship?
Next game for sure.

If I wanted to give Pallegina the "Honor Guard Breastplate" with her starting armor's unique enchantments already applied to it, how would I go about doing that?
-
Maybe it's just me but Rekke reminds me of The Little Mermaid.
- You fish him out of the sea
- There's a language barrier
- He's all alone in a strange land, the only one of his kind
- The hair, obviously
Dammit, now I can't unhear "Part Of Your World" in his voice/accent...

Rekke felt like the only companion that was complete.
The rest get a single conversation, then are mute for the rest of your travels together. Honestly, sidekicks were pretty disappointing in general. Including Ydwin.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by the sidekicks. It's true that Rekke had way more content than the others, but I was expecting to like them way less than I did.

gimp mask and a car battery
W-what is the battery for?

Hello.
There is a couple of portraits i've made to myself. Hope someone find them useful as well.
Wow, that first one would be perfect for an aumaua moon godlike!

I prefer 'Unbridled Capitalism' over the ****ed up Caste system and what basically adds up to slavery that is the Huana regime.
There's a quest in The Gullet (the slum area of Neketaka where the Roparu live) where you speak to a Roparu elder about the food shortage and how to resolve it.
One of the possible resolutions is to convince the Queen/Prince to take responsibility for the results of the caste system. If you manage to convince them to do so, you get a special ending slide for The Gullet talking about how the situation there has been improved.
I also remember talking to Queen Onekaza about Neketaka, and she suggests that living in a city is unnatural for tribal people and asks what I think. The option I chose was something along the lines of, "I've seen the bottom of this city, and what I saw wasn't good." That seemed to give her something to think about.
All of the other cultures in Eora have done horrible things to advance. Most of them have the benefit of hindsight now. Why take the Deadfire away from its native people just because they haven't advanced as far? That's my take, anyway.
My favorite ending is siding with the Huana and asking Eothas to inspire kith by exposing Engwithan ruins throughout the Deadfire. I also like to keep the VTC around (under Castol) but RDC and pirates can **** off.

But OP, Eothas, Galagains and Chadbydon are the best gods. Yes, a FIERY WHORE is also in their camp, but this isn't a perfect world...

She gave my female Watcher a suggestive once over when they first met, and also grabbed her hand for support during her character quest in a way that felt like more than just emotional support iykwim.
Only the new companions. And they're not bisexual, they're playersexual. Which is way worse. Xoti shows no interest at all in women unless it's a female watcher that's coming on to her.Everyone is bisexual and sex mad.
Why
In the epilogue she even wrote me a letter saying I'll always be in her dreams. What???
Can't blame her for being more into Eder than Lady Watcher tbh. I mean, there's really no comparison when you put them side by side...

Regarding this topic, can the Rauatai Clothing be changed to use the two character colors?
It has fixed colors in my game (red/black), and it's the only cloth that looks like a martial artist outfit.
There are two different looking items with the same name, but only of them has this problem of not adjusting its colors.
Yeah, there are some equips that have fixed colors for some reason. All equipment should be color adjustable!
And we need a cosmetic slot so we can wear clothing over armor.
-
So there are three male romancible characters and one female right? So I suppose this is generally for the female audience by that reasoning?
Xoti is kind of a strange one. She flirts with you incessantly, but it goes nowhere.
Maia is a female option, but I guess amazonian shark tomboys are an acquired taste.

I'll be testing out the negative approval romance once the next wave of patches come out, so I'll let you know.

I think Xoti suffers from Liara/Leliana syndrome. Sometimes the characters end up "too special" because the writers get carried away. Nobody else gets that much attention, not even returning companions.
I don't mind, but I'd rather all companions were treated equally. Because different characters resonate with different people.
I think this character archetype is intentional (notice Liara and Xoti are intended to be the poster girl romance option for straight male players and also kind of fit the "manic pixie dream girl" trope)
Because I am a female as well though, manic pixie dream girl characters just piss me off! In a fantasy game I want to be the center of attention for once damn it.

IIRC, you can buy one at the Dark Cupboard in Neketaka and two at the Fampyr location to the bottom right of the map (splintered something something?)
Stock should replenish everyday.
Ahhh... I murdered all of the brainwashed zombies.

Some of the character voices really grated on me and/or I personally felt they didn't match the character.
I poked around in the audio files and tried deleting or swapping files to see if I could remove the voices I disliked, but still have "bark" voices. Overall, I'm satisfied with what I ended up with.
One caveat of this mod: Xoti and Maia had a LOT of extra bark files because some are for high approval, low approval, or romance. I did not replace all of these files, since the player voice sets don't have that many different bark files available. So, there is a possibility that these ladies might suddenly go very quiet on you once you start a romance or sway her opinion of you very far in one direction or another.
-
Anyone else kind of tempted to turn Xoti into a Harvester so they can be the most popular girl in the party? (and for that Threshing lantern aura... too good)

I want to upgrade Fleshmender but I think the only Vithrack I've seen was a bounty and I don't remember what happened to his brain...

The negative approval romance dialogue fits my Clever Watcher better than the positive approval anyway. She's a rogue with a heart of gold.
Still hoping Rekke is a full companion with a romance in the next game though.
-
In my next save file I'm going to do Aloth's negative approval romance and encourage him to stick to his mission.In case it's not obvious, I absolutely adore Rekke. He's such a great character, and they made the effort to invent his gibberish language. He even says something that sounds like he's making a pass at the Watcher at one point. Ydwin also seems more interesting than several of the characters that are proper companions and both of their stories are loose ends. I'm sadly starting to think it would have been better to ditch Eder and Aloth and give us those 2 as proper companions instead.
As soon as he leaves Rekke and I are going on a cruise to Yezuha.

The other day I talked to the alcohol vendor in Neketaka with Aloth in my party and he rolled his eyes when she gave us her sales pitch.
It made me think of Slotharingia's signature. :D
