You're right, but I kind of like that there's actually a reason to walk around with a torch in dark areas.

[Ranged without Ranger?]

Hi all. From the builds that I've been able to put together, it seems pretty hard to put together a viable ranged build without including the Ranger class. Marksman, Gunner, and Shot on the Run just seem absolutely necessary from a newbie's perspective.

 

Thing is, I don't want to be a Ranger. It might be silly, but I hate the animal companion thing as just want to shoot things with dual pistols. I know I can do Ghost Heart, but the animal button is still there and it still triggers Ranger conversation reactions from NPCs "Oh, I see you like animals too, hur hur".

 

So is there a way to make Rogue, Fighter, Cipher, whatever else work in a ranged build?

[How do I speak to characters instead of searching their souls?]

They feel... tacky. Like the game sold off little pieces of its soul.
