Very surprised that Woljit got a mod all to himself. I never thought he was a very popular character. He always seemed kind of bland and forgettable.

I feel like most of the companions in this game are bland in the extreme, so much so it ends up feeling like a cheap trick to have a few of the characters to have solid arcs that subvert expectations.

Seelah is the most bland companion I've ever had forced on me in a game, ever. Paladins who aren't zealots aren't interesting, they're boring. She's just a generic fighter that gets excited about some deity like a fucking nerd gets excited about seeing william shatner.

For a game about crusading against demons there's not much crusading. I was expecting Warhammer with legions of pikemen supported by warrior priests against a tide of horrors. What I got were a bunch of quirky millennials who never picked up whatever Pathfinder's version of a bible is.
The only character that actually felt like he was on a crusade was Regil.

I found myself liking the evil companions much better than the good alined ones. Cam, Regil and Wenduag are the best in my opinion with Sosiel and Seelah being my least favorite. Cam is pretty one note but it’s in away that’s so much different then companions in most games that I was ok with it. I still think Kingmaker had the better companions though.

Regill is great and based, I liked Ember, Arueshalae is not bad either, Daeran was good as well, Woljif is a bit bland basic rogue-character, but not as bad as Lann, Seelah and Soysiel. Greybor is pretty toned down but it fits his character. Nenio is by far the worst companion in almost any crpg I have ever played.

Seelah being the way she is probably because of Paizo.

Nenio is a sterling example of shitty millennial writing. An annoying git who keeps talking dumb bullshit that should have been smote already. All those demon lords and liches kept saying they want to waste her but they never do it because of plot armour.
If she were a literal trickster god I'd understand that, but she's just some fox with a tik tok user's idea of what Austism should look like.

Think most players in TT either hand their DMs a list of prebuff spells they want to cast before every combat if they have the preparation time, or their DMs tell them they can't prebuff. Unless it is something that make senses like casting protection from fire before fighting a dragon.
