Was just checking on feedback for my Deadfire gamefaqs guide as I consider another update, and saw that I had gotten one note that my guide wasn't helpful.

The reasoning given behind that rating was that I had made no mention of or given advice on a shieldbearer paladin companion. Uh, a companion that most certainly does not actually exist in the game. I dare not actually write out more in case some bot crawler crawls this page and mistakenly interprets my post as more evidence that this companion exists to the next hapless person who asks about it. I'm not even sure where they got it from, since asking Gemini about it doesn't reveal anything.

What an age we live in.

That's wild.

Did they maybe mean advice for Pallegina as a shield user? Could also be they just mixed up the sublcasses.

I cannot find any statements (AI or not) about an official Shieldbearer (of St. Elcga) companion either. Surprisingly, Gemini and ChatGPT even tell me that there's only an official companion from the Frermàs mes Canc Suolias when I ask them about an official companion of the Shieldbearer order. 🤷‍♂️
