His initial impressions so far:
"gale is sus as fuck
I like the two ladies, but they sadly have friction between them
the white vampire lad is just annoying and sitting in the camp
I like the black swordsman dude, but I’m curious what gale is up to, so swordsy is sitting in camp as well"
He’s been playing a half orc barbarian so he has been doing all the classic barbarian things (broke Shart out of her box with strength, intimidated his way through many situations, etc.)
So far, he went straight to the goblin camp after doing a bit of the Grove content and got demolished by Dror Ragzlin.
He hasn’t found Withers yet. I haven’t spoiled anything to him but have strongly insisted he try to find “the talking mummified man”. I have also recommended following up on Wyll’s “hunt” and promised him he will find “something nice” at the end of it. I will return with more updates once he progresses more.
Astarion was too annoying for me as well. Left him in camp the whole game.
Going for a more evil (maybe durge) run next to get more use out of Laez & Astarion. I’ve heard great things about both but didn’t hang much on the chaotic good run.
I never used Astarion, didn’t really care for him. So i got rid of him for something more useful (don’t want to spoil anything, and can’t figure out the spoiler tag on Boost)
