Night Stalker 386 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) a) We got more Ydwin content in Beast of Winter, if they were going to upgrade her to full companion status that would have been a logical point for Obsidian to do it - they did not. b) Josh Sawyer recently made it clear that upgrading sidekicks to companions is to resource intensive to be done willy-nilly. c) Ydwin was an incentive for a stretch-goal that wasn't hit. This is a more esoteric point, but I feel that if a stretch-goal isn't hit, then the incentive shouldn't be implemented - after all if we knew the incentive was going to be implemented anyways, then there will be less hype about hitting the goal. d) Having almost completed Beast of Winter I can say that I have taken a dislike to her personality, so I am happy they didn't spend time or money on her. This is of course a matter of taste and you are free disagree. Edited August 27, 2018 by Night Stalker 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boeroer 14,760 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 PLease do not waste your precious time on ydwin We need POTD balancing fixed first as top prioirty Not the same developers. Balancing is not done by the people who write characters. Hence no time would be wasted. 4 Quote Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to post Share on other sites
Heijoushin 1,075 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Nah, as Night Stalker said, they did bow to the player's wishes in the form of Beast of Winter content for Ydwin. I must say though, I'd rather they go back to the PoE1 system if it lets them add full companions more easily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gkathellar 1,978 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) No, no, no. The OP's request is absurd. Give me Ydwin. I'm the one who really loves her. Me. Not us. ME. Edited August 27, 2018 by gkathellar 14 Quote If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general.

Big-Ben 478 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 No, no, no. The OP's request is absurd. Give me Ydwin. I'm the one who really loves her. Me. Not us. ME. Bilbo is really thirsting after Ydwin your profile pic. As an aside I was under the impression that adding in companions after the fact can be a bit of minefield. What I mean, specifically is that Ydwin doesn't have all the tie ins that all the other actual companions do. Flags etc and by upgrading Ydwin to a full companion you'd have to do a ton of work to do. Unless a forum member wants to be a wealthy donor I don't see how that's at all feasible. I may be mistaken (That is to say misremembering.) but I recall a Bioware dev some years ago discussing that it was actually impossible in some instances to implement new companions who weren't already in a batch of code. Something about functionality with variables and the like. But I'm not sure if that was something inherent in Mass Effect's engine (Unreal) or if it was a complex coding issue. I won't claim any authority over this subject it's just a tidbit that's bubbled to the top of my accursed brain. I don't have any clue if Unity functions differently! Quote Yes! We have no bananas.

Nope you are correct, but I think a couple things are worth mentioning. 1: She is easily the most popular sidekick. 2: She is already in the game as a sidekick and all her combat barks are already done. She would need to be added to the reputation system, maybe given a few more quest interjections, given some personal conversations beyond what she has on recruitment, and a personal quest. The rest is complete. That's a lot to do yeah, but it isn't the entire work load either. That said I am curious what leak is getting baited here? I heard Konstanten was actually the sidekick getting a little love in the next expansion? Considering the name of the third expansion I will be shocked if Fessina doesn't get some involvement there as well. Edited August 28, 2018 by Karkarov 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
