All this & they couldn't make Alfira a permanent companion for ALL origin characters. Also couldn't throw in a Monk companion, they could have did it like they did Minthara. Jaheira shoulda been half Fighter Druid to be honest.

Ahhh who cares, stop nitpicking. That said I thought Barcus would with how many times he's in camp, I actually can't stand him, so I don't care. With the fact that there's many options for created players as well as hirelings, don't be greedy. Hirelings lack the background story & so on, yes but take your pick, I'm always the first to criticize something but you can't criticize that as far as this game goes, the amount of time they put into it as well as effort & variety & so on. If you're going to criticize something criticize the fact that there's two druids, we don't need Halsin, that coulda been a Monk, Alfira coulda been the Bard who s before act 3 for everybody not just Dragonborne or whatever it's called playthrough.

Missed opportunities to always be disappointing especially when it's literally right in front of your face. I wish extra attack classes was level 4 instead of 5 because it makes your class uneven & you miss out on a feat even when. Character background like Jaheira is multi-class Fighter/Druid, for her it shoulda been a exception but instead I make her 8 Fighter & 4 Druid(never even use the Druid abilities) Fighter is too good especially with GWM & GWF, I only give her the 4 levels because of her background which personally I would just give her full Fighter, think I might give her full Fighter next time though now that I'm talking about it, I have her Druid background for conversation purposes but she's not a main character & I never seen the Druid class come into play during dialogue even on her quest. Might just respecc her today & make her full Fighter for when I do her quest. Point is those levels bring 5 instead of 4 for extra attack is a missed opportunity, like having two Druids or leaving out a Monk, Bard & whatever the else is left out.

Found him & fought him twice, didn't know he was linked though. I don't use speak to dead on anybody other then the Halsin quest, which you can save the guy & prevent him from dying which I somehow did this time around

I actually subbed out Lae'zel for Jaheira & I had Minthara, seen the difference they bring in dialogue, Minthara scene with the Throne room, etc, the way Karlach interacts with Jaheira. It was different, I brought her to fight Myrkul, gave her the Frost staff with Sheilalay or however it's spelled, plus GWM & GWF made her hit good, had savage attacker on her the previous playthrough & she hit like a truck with the Halberd I gave her.

True but who would I swap out, also Origin with one of my 3 favorites which I'll take the other two as companions but now that I finally got Minthara, she's great & I wanted to take Jaheira last playthrough but she was bugged & wouldn't follow. I'll take her for the quest though & to get Minsc like I did last time. I just don't see no point in swapping out what works for me, I like all the characters except Astarion, I guess he'll be more likable at the end, anyway even though I like some of the characters or pretty much everyone other than him I still don't take them into battle because they are not that good compared to what I already have, Karlach Wildheart plus 4 levels of fighter Battle Master & Eagle Heart, Lae'zel fighter BM plus Alert for 4th feat with GWM, Shadowheart with her spells but I multi-class her with War Cleric that's still bugged when you use Action Surge. Tempest is great too. Then Oath of Vengeance Minthara is just too good to up, I could never get sick of this party, if I had an extra slot though I would definitely take Jaheira.

Right now it's just slim pickings so I will pretty much always choose from the five I listed, I don't really care for magic welders as they can only attack from afar & are glass cannons, which there are abilities & things like that to help even that out but at the same time who would I sub out for that because a lot of my characters are now tanky especially with heavy armor. Also with melee tanks why would I even attack from afar when I can use melee on someone & do a lot of damage? Especially with GWM, so for me, If they added a Bard, Fighter, Monk, Sorcerer companions it would be more to choose from, I don't care about sorcerers but having another fighter who has a story as well as Monk, I love Monks, Rangers too. Fighters are more even as you don't need to spend a feat or some to have heavy armor proficiency. I would use Minsc but he's too late into the story & at that point aside from the first time playing where you try out all characters, why would you change up what already has been working for you with your previous 3 companions? If Minsc was early. Not to mention if you got everybody pretty much earlier that would have been even better as you have people to choose from.

I definitely wouldn't had played as or had a shorter character EVER. Barcus is annoying as hell. I'm ok with every other character except whinny ass Astarion(which I assume he changes as does everybody else do) but Barcus, annoying as hell. Wished we could create/have a werewolf like character in the game though, just as long as it's not a halfling or midget or some. A Wolf & Vampire in the could have led to so many interactions, like when a story goes to try to feed on you, the wolf could have protected you & you would have to choose sides between them, defuse the situation altogether or threaten Astarion but let it slide for now. Imagine the dialogue between em, coulda been a female Wolf character based on Red Riding Hood, her default clothes would be a Red Hood & stuff, that woulda been coo. Come on BG3, I wished we had more companions that had different classes like Monk because to be honest my Party will always be the same 4 if I'm doing a Origin playthrough, Halsin is more like a druid to me, Jaheira shoulda been a Fighter, even if it's EK, she'd be a BM you would think cause how many years she's fought you know she got some battle maneuvers of her sleeve.

Now that I finally been able to save Minthara, my 4th Party spot went from Jaheira(to Minthara) now as I'm finally able to recruit her, before I was playing a created character Tav, plus Jaheira bug made her not follow you at all. Even with the new acquisition of Minthara, the 4th spot would still be between those two. I love Ranger class but I can't see myself ever taking out Karlach, Lae'zel & Shadowheart. Especially with the builds I got for them, so that will always leave a 4th spot left & by default, I'm taking Minthara over Jaheira unless I multi-class Jaheira. I wish there was a main character Monk companion or at least a recruitable monk companion who's not one of those people you get from withers but like somebody that has a big part in the story.

Time cut not bad, I love a good mystery which is why my favorite horror franchise has always been Scream but the kills are so PG-13, they don't want to show anything, another movie like that is "There's someone in your house" on Netflix, at least they showed stuff, reminded me of scream a lil too. If time cut had more rated R kills & actually showed it & not the aftermath, it woulda been a lot better. Hopefully Thanksgiving comes out with a part 2 that spans a franchise like Scream because besides Scream, Thanksgiving is the only movie I seen that was just as good as Scream as well as has potential to be the new screen if screen doesn't make any more movies.

There's so much I can say about this but I think I made my point. Both are amazing games, both are not each other. I do not want that aspect implemented in any other game, especially BG3, it's fine, I don't play for romance either, that's what nerds do cause they can't get girls lol

This is just ridiculous, I love Persona especially 4, but we gon say BG3 is missing some? What, social links that we have to choose who to spend time with? Players like freedom in their games, the school aspect & that they are young figuring their life out & stuff makes sense why certain people wouldn't always be free & that's realistic & fine but to waste days not gaining a level is ridiculous, it's not a main point, it's a branch on a big tree, people play it for the turn based combat & story, that has nothing to do with the story like that compared to BG3. BG3 gives you a whole make out scene & then some, I'm more of a gameplay guy but how can a link be better then a whole game where you travel with your partner, fight alongside them (you can in persona if one of the girls are in your SEES group) two of the main girls start their social link late in Persona 3, Persona 4 you start early in the game, but how can that be better then a full on session the way BG3 does it? So what you have links, BG3 don't need that, that's PERSONA, that's like saying Persona needs combat like BG3, I bet you'd disagree, cause Persona is Persona, BG3 is fine the way it is, it got GOTY for a reason, which don't mean they can't add in more stuff like characters & classes & etc but as far as this, it's better, also in BG3 you don't even got time like that from a role playing aspect, what they gon do? Go on dates? This isn't Persona & their not kids. This is ridiculous

I'd rather a actual movie but this could work, even if it's good I still rather a movie, it would have to be on Netflix though, they have really good original stuff, better then any other platform. Years from now though, I'd still like a actual remake & one that Freddy face isn't some CGI bs, other then that, I actually liked the remake, would like a remake to have Nancy set traps for him like she did in the original but just in a different way & this time one of her friends could help her.

Don't got the time to read it all but ain't this the last Ronin Mikey? I don't get how killing 3 of the 4 is staying true to fans, or the stories, yes that's a thing but it was never incorporated in movies or shows, so at this point who cares, not to mention, it's not TMNT with one turtle.
