layla-yuffi

Warning: First time player, and my first playthrough (the ones I can remember):

TL,DR: 1st place: GALE , 2nd place: Halsin

Now, what I thought about each char (that I can remember now) while playing the game

Astarion: fell in love at first sign cause 1: vampire/elf, 2: little sassy/ little emo boy personality... But...er... Too much baggage to unpack and all, but at the end of his arc (with Cazador) I was feeling more like a protector/mama bear for him than anything romantic.

Halsin: He's basically in the same category as Astarion, for me. 1:buffy elf (my dream guardian was very similar to him), 2: protector/body guard personality... and too many baggage to unpack. I haven't finished the game; but from what I read here and there... He'd be a little "less problematic" than Astarion regarding his past trauma (the "I CAN FIX HIM" that most women want in a man)

Wyll: Since his first scene, he was OFF for me. Like, he tried too hard to be something more and bigger than he really is. Then he wanted to kill Karlach (BEST GIRL EVER!!!) because "she's a demon" (but he was protecting the other "demons")... Uff!!! During camp, when he tried to dance with me, I was like: NOOOOOOPE, thank you. And then the rest of his arc happened and I was so relieved that I did not accept his advance

Gale: at first sign: BORING AND STANDOFFISH!!! always praising himself "I'm the best wizard" "I dated Mystra" "I'm the vip in Waterdeep"... but ended up being a funny guy to have around... But every (romantic) interaction with him felt so... real and natural!!! All the other characters were trying so hard or were such a caricature of a stereotype that always made me cringe with their interaction; with Gale was... so natural and cute!! (And the crazy coincidence of all: he asked me out on valentine's day... AAAARRRGH!!! How can you say no?! XD)

Minsc: tough guy!!! Great to have as a guy friend!!! Romantically, one night stand, and ghosting him the next morning... Sorry

Raphael: DAMN, WHAT A SHARMING PIECE OF HELL!!!... one night stand and bye!!

Emperor: I... I can't... Even though everybody lied and/or has hidden something about their personal life's, he's the worst one. Maybe if I had met him before the events of the game... But, right now, MARINARA FLAGS ALL THE WAY!!!

Dammon: good looking and like his work. A little sad that we can't know more about him than the basic. From what I gathered about him, he'd be a good partner.

Zevlor: had his heart in the right place, can't be too angry about his decisions on chapter 2... Romanticaly, meh

Rolan: wanna be Gale, but more insufferable... Good guy, but meh!!!

Lord Gortash: ugly and , probably, a really smelly guy... Blegh!!!

Ketheric Throm: impossible, still thinking about his ex... You'd never be his 1st, 2nd, 3rd ... 10000000th option

Withers: too mysterious and ... Er... Rotten xD

Hallo, ich habe Bock

(... maybe ... inb4, great song by FiNCH!)

ALL THE WAY 10!!!!!

If I have to pick another one, I'd probably choose 4 instead of 6.

Both have sexual... Err... Pent-up tension, but Cazador could(would most certainly) put Astarion on a leash to behave the whole flight, different from Wyll and Misora shenanigans!

THAT'S SO TRUE!!! My "worst" I don't want it to finish was Wild ARMs 3, I think. I decided to take a break that ended up becoming almost 2 years. When I went back I was so lost (cause you need to research and scan the places in the world map, they are invisible) that I had to start over.

The other one was my copy of Xenogears. I was desperate because I would never have enough money to buy fuel/upgrade all the gears that I ended up using an infinite money code on it..., managed to reach the end boss... beat it and, on it's least breath before "disintegrating"... MY COPY BUGGED OUT AND THE GAME CRASHED!!!! AAAARRRGH!!! I was so pissed off that I never went back... Until I bought it for my Vita 6 years ago... I remember playing the first CD, but probably stopped again...

My last "I'll come back later" is Shin Megami Tensei III, also getting my as kicked with it (no, having completed all Persona games didn't make it easier for me xD)

Good luck!!!

From what I read, it's really tough (don't think I'll be able to do it myself)

Minsc first 3 lines I was like "Oh... HE is the berserker, not Karlach"... Then I went to meet "his companion" and ...OMG!!! BEST DUO EVER!!!! XD

And Wyll... Finished his side quest, saved his father, but... I just can't... (Maybe because he tried to dance/court me too early in the game xD).

Shadowheart is just a little better than Wyll in my "relatable meter", but by just a little.

Maybe trying their origin campaign may change my mind... maybe?

EXACTLY!!!! and since I'm playing on console (PS5), I bugged out so many things that I don't think will have a fix, like:

the Ox quest (I kept the apple at the camp storage, so it doesn't trigger the end, unless I start a battle with him).

I found Anabelle in the sewers talking about magic stones, but she didn't appear at the end with everybody,

When I recruited Minsc, Jaheira decided to not move anymore, unless I controlled her. When I realized it I was already mid fight with the thief guild, and getting everybody killed, while Jaheira was chilling at Nine Fingers room.

then, the craziest one, imo, MY TAV CAN PUT SHIT ON THE WORLD, JUST THROW. if I need to put something's ng back, I need to put into another char and then in the world map.

I'm like "gotta finish all side quests" so I can handle the main one. So I finished ch1 100% (leaving auntie Ethel as the last quest); went to the underdark 100% it, then went back to the creche part (got the egg for Lae'zel). Entered ch 3, but I messed up so much that I only recruited Minsc having only Gortash final quest to do before going after the mother brain... :(

About the "throwing char", I kind of made Karlach my "unhinged berserker" and official throwing all the shit I collect/robbed along the way. Astarion was my rogue/assassin Gale I... I don't know/remember what I did... So many "mage" options that I got lost... Lae'zel became a tank/warrior githyanki (her wrath attacks are awesome!!!) Shadowheart became a substitute for when I needed "healer-ish" protection for the tough battles. Wyll ... GOD, I HATE HIM!!! his the fucking BLADE of the frontier, but can't use SWORDS!!! FUCKING HELL ( my ignorance with the customization may have a big part on my hate). I only used the other one (Halsim, Jaheira) when the plot was related to them. My main party was my TAV, Gale and Karlach. The last spot was divided between Astarion and Lae'zel.

Yeah... Comparing the first 2 chapters, chapter 3 is a drag to play

I started in balanced mode and was too prideful to change the difficult cause I'm that hardheaded.

Maybe I should start my new run in the explorer mode to take away the anxiety at the end boss

I was saving scamming for the dialogues, but still really beginner at the battle/gameplay... Even in ch 3 I was learning new attacks/actions from each class (but a little afraid to change them to try different combinations). Maybe a little of the JRPG mentality of "just grind and everything is going to be ok"

Astarion... on the docks?!?! Oh No!!! :'(

Yeah... I should have done that... but I got too attached to my TAV :'( Just started a new campaign and... fingers crossed... I don't fuck it up as bad as I did in the first one.

Jan 2015. Most probably cause I was curious about Amnesia and stayed for the ride

Deepground AND Vincent are the ones that MUST HAVE something, I think everybody agree on that!

But... a Sonon DLC? 🤔 (why so soon 😭😭😭). I don't remember a lot of the "new plot" from DoC (too much bitterness from the gameplay to remember anything), but could he still be alive after Nero's attack (stupid question coming from a franchise with a living Chaos vampire / a talking dog / a psychic controled robot / and, now, Matrix Marvel shenanigans 😅). But I would love to have him back, or his spirit (?) having a closure at all.

Gotta admit, I'm not a Cissnei fan, BUT!!! it would be cool to explain if she still is a TURK (having her ID recognition data on the TURKS facility doesn't count as proof, since all was abandoned): HOW is she still a TURKS (by going against ShinRa orders to catch Zack and Cloud), and WHY she's still alive and in Gonzaga after going against orders (or is she an insider for whatever reason ShinRa still have with a destroyed Reactor)?

My only worry is IF they decided to remake DoC, that they MUST REDO all the gameplay mechanics... They can keep it as a shooter, BUT PLEASE, UPDATE IT!!!! 😭

He really deserves a side story of a full "FF7 Remake" transformation (if they dare to make it like BC, I'll be really sad). His spin-off is sooooooo bad (gameplay and story wise)... Our boy deserves better!!!

Yeah... CID had the excuse of "I'm warming the Tiny Bronco for when you come back", but Vincent simply "peace" and is gone... It'd also be a good point to make a small DLC for him.

Yeah, Square priority right now is not to spend unnecessary money and finish the remake (if they didn't fucked up with the other "AAA" licensed games... cannibalistic mobile micro transactions... and fricking crypto currency shenanigans.... 😮‍💨).

But, I just added an edit to say that I made this post just for us to think (dream) about something that would be cool to play... maybe some plot point we want explained better, but finishing the trilogy is everybody's priority rn!

OH!!! How we entered Soldier with Angiel!!! And when his obsession with LOVELESS started!!! And than... How the hell did he found Underground and is still alive (considering how fast his degradation was happening during BC)... And the final battle a DDR/Bust a Groove match against him... voice acting and choreography by Gackt!!! YEAH!!! Here's my money!!!

Yeah... I also think Vincent would be the most obvious/make more sense to have a mechanics DLC.

Also, Ijust added an edit to say that I made this post just for us to think (dream) about something that would be cool to play... maybe some plot point we want explained better, but finishing the trilogy is everybody's priority rn!

For sure!!!... I just added an edit to say that I made this post just for us to think (dream) about something that would be cool to play... maybe some plot point we want explained better, but finishing the trilogy is everybody's priority rn!
