injurai Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 It should be a female Orlan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekombo Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Replace? but we can still get 5m! I mean, if we get last stretch goal there is must be a new 4th sidekick. Edited February 27, 2017 by Rekombo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messier-31 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I don't care, as long as we get Bonteru. Also, this "anime" propaganda starts to get on me nerves. 9 It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yeah, stop it. I want a somewhat tamed wicht as sidekick. 5 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karkarov Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Honestly it should be another Orlan if you want balanced races. Of the options you posted I would go with "another boring human" as all the rest are tired cliches. Class wise I would like to see a paladin from an Order other than Pallegina's, or a Priest of one of the less in your face gods. Like Wael or something. A character that is less "wacky" and more legitimately of questionable character without also being a blatant dbag in general like Durance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George_Truman Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I think an ooze companion would fit the sidekick role perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Gates' Son Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I would really like Cadegund. It would be nice to have some Magran representation in this game since (I assume) will have the choice of fighting against Eothas. Otherwise, give me a humanoid monster companion. It's not a bad idea to have something different. Even if we don't get the extra stretch goal, we should get another side kick. The more companions we can use, the better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injurai Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Why would I want to fight against the gods from the team of another god. Kill all the gods. Down with the lot of them I say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I do like the idea of getting a variant of Cadegund as a throwback. I've also enjoyed ideas thrown around here regarding a Vithrak party member. If we're going solely by what we haven't had yet, I'd say a female Hearth Orlan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheisEjsing Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I didn't read the whole Ydwin stretch goal, as if there would be a replacement sidekick. My understanding is that she will just be fully fleshed out, and then nothing else. I might be wrong thou.Don't get me wrong, i'd love another sidekick, but if the goal is unlocked, we already got 8 companions and 3 sidekicks. I'd rather see OE using time on making those 11 guys as good and integrated into the game as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algroth Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) I'd love to see a Vithrack companion as well, though to my understanding the reason they didn't go for the weirder races was due to the extra work it'd take to try and fit custom clothing into a character that is structured very differently to the playable races, and I'd doubt they'd go through all that just to add a sidekick opposed to a full-fledged companion. I doubt we'll see it lest it becomes a stretch-goal in and of itself. Also I think a stranger race wouldn't really work as a sidekick as it'd likely involve a lot of reactivity from the rest of the world to be made to work. A vithrack companion, for example, would likely be feared or hated by most it meets with, and would not really be able to access an inn without some odd looks and the occasional "we don't take too kindly to your type around here" sort of remark. The companion would otherwise be made to jar a little with the culture so far depicted in-game. The idea of having Cadegund I also like quite a bit.

Pel Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 We need more "boring" humans to balance out the game and make the unique, wacky/zany creatures and characters more special and stand out more! It's just like in life when you need some variety, like depressing lows, to truly experience the sweetness of happiness. If the majority of characters are oddballs then they won't be very memorable because their relative oddness is marginalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That didn't really keep the companions in Planescape: Torment from being some of the most memorable characters in video-game history. Different context and all though. All the same I'm not sure we've had many weird races: two godlikes and a pale elf, plus whatever the Watcher would be. All the same I think that'd be more a thing to watch out for in the whole context of the game than the party more specifically, and the way the world would react to there being stranger races amidst your companions.

Gromnir Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 They specifically stated if Ydwin makes it in as a full companion, they'd add another sidekick. the gods destroy by granting wishes. ydwin will be replaced by devil of caroc. however, devil will now be contained in the body o' an over-developed pre-teen girl wearing a sailor suit, dangerous short miniskirt and thigh hi stockings. pink or purple hair? she will fight with an oversized sword more appropriate as a helicopter rotor, and will constant navel gaze, reflecting 'pon the implications o' her synthetic nature and what it means to be human. perhaps for game finale, devil will pilot a mecha and confront eothas? don't ask for another sidekick or companion. may find out getting what you want ain't quite what you hoped. HA! Good Fun! ps if ooze is a related to companions in some way, it won't be as a new companion but mere as an accessory to ydwin, 'cause somehow cute-girl-violated-by-slime is actual a japanese fetish. go figure. 2 "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.

That didn't really keep from the companions in Planescape: Torment being some of the most memorable characters in video-game history. True, but that game had exotic and wacky characters around every corner, so the oddness was more normalized because the spectrum of oddness was insanely wide. If in Pillars 2 we are around mostly aumaua and humans and we don't get the chance to pickup at least a couple of them as eager adventurers (sidekicks), the world may end up feeling a bit contrived.
