no options for "they wouldn't fight" or "they would kiss", they are fighting and that is FINAL

Things in Pathfinder: WotR that I learnt to appreciate after playing BG3

SHARED INVENTORY OH MY GOD

when you click on something that requires skill check, party member with highest value of that skill automatically goes to do it. you don't have to select your rogue every time you need to open a chest or disable trap

game doesn't despise you for playing evil characters, and you get different content instead of no content

you can play combat in real time, so you don't have to wait for all 20 goblins, 30 imps and 1500000 rats to go before your rogue misses another crit shot. i mean you can play in turn based if you want to.

no but i cannot overstate shared inventory. you still have max load, so you still need to manage weight. but you don't have to spent half of the play time hauling items from your 8 str characters to your fighter and back.

player character is always the one who will speak in the dialogue, no matter who triggered it. so you don't have to reload and reposition bc your companion happened to run past you or was on front lines bc they are a tank and you are ranged

speaking of your tank running past you bc they saw a butterfly while your archer is on front lines is getting punched, you can use party formations, so tanks are always upfront, ranged in the back

in dialogues, when you do skill check, the highest value in the party will be used. which means if you want to play diplomatically, you're no longer tied to charisma-based class if you make sure that companion with high charisma is present. same for all checks for other stats, bc there is a lot of different stat and skill checks. which means that you still need to make sure that your party has type coverage, but you don't have to save scum, bc specialized characters will generally always have stat high enough to succeed.

inventory management is just so, so much better. different type tabs instead of clunky filters that don't even group properly.

I just love Hand of the Inheritor, okay?

I've recently read that in official PF lore he is "surrounded by the halo of swords" which apparently is a separate creature named Brightsword.

Since then the image of Hand with an ever-rotating sword halo chases me day and night so I had to do something about it even tho I don't have the first clue how to do animation.

In my head that halo also indicates Hand's emotions, while his face is covered by the helm, but I'm just not strong enough to animate something like that for now :(

his complete lack of swag, mildly gay behavior, and bad posture have captivated me

[golarion]

free my girl she did all of that, feels no remorse, and is actively planning to do more, but have you considered it was funny as hell

[golarion]

my one dumb pfwotr take is that there should NOT be two subclasses called divine hunter

[golarion]

I find it funny how Wotr gets passed up on the whining about wokeness in games, despite hitting a lot of points, one or two of which alone would be enough to have bald British men screaming and punching their keyboard over on release date. You can be gay or bi in the game and about half the main party are queer. There's a big stornk woman and trans woman lesbian couple, in a pretty major roles through the whole game. A significant amount of the primary authority figures in the story are women, including by far the most competent villains, with the most significant male villains (in the late game at least, not Staunton) even speaking almost entirely in what could be construed as veiled incel whining.

And like, very few people complained. More proof that "Go woke go broke" is a big punch of shit and you just have to make good stuff? Or is it just because it's not quiet a mainstream hit?

Allright so folk over at darkergrey's discord mention that both BG3 and Pathfinder Wotr has secretive half-elf companions in them and I haven't been able to get the pair out of my head since
