Wyll

Is picrel the lamest companion in recent CRPG history? He's so bland its unreal.
The devil subplot / dad thing was a good idea but the execution was bad. His voice actor never emotes. He's the weakest companion.

Thank god we have the BLADE OF AVERNUS on our side!!!

I audibly laughed when everyone started sucking him off in Act 3, it felt so forced.

Wyll is that kid who always followed you and your friends around. You dont have the heart to tell him he will never be one of the guys.

It's amazing how bland he is considering they give him so much stuff to make him special. He's like BG3's equivalent of Apollo Justice from Ace Attorney. I can't care about either character.

Him and Gale are really bland despite probably having the most super special backstory out of everyone

Wyll is only tolerable when you play as him yourself and go full evil

There are no good bg3 characters

this

Isn't he just like that other Black character from Mass Effect? Kind of just shoved in there to fill the minority quota, and ended up being the most forgettable thing in the game?

He is so lame. The first story beat with him and Karlach is executed so poorly, the writing for that is really bad and his weak voice acting wasn't able to save it.

Gale has some of the same problems, but the writing and execution of his plot is overall more solid.

Gale is a little too Reddit for my tastes but at least he has a good quip, occasionally.
The one or two times Wyll tried to make a joke, I felt second hand embarrassment. Which I dont think the devs intended.
Even grognards like Laezel, Anon

Wyll is an established legendary hero. (citation needed)
Wyll has a stone eye and scars with interesting backstory. (citation needed)
Wyll is the son of the duke of Baldur's Gate or whatever.
Wyll is a warlock and contracted to a hot dommy mommy devil.
Wyll can grow horns, involuntarily.
Wyll is the most boring bland ass vanilla character in the entire game.

I refunded the game when this guy showed up

I still don't know why they changed him from the Alpha. It seemed he was less of a hero type back then and more of a junkie who needed Mizora for his fix. Like all the hero stuff was a front. Not technically pure evil but better than the goody two shoes what we got.

BG3 has bad companions in general. It's pile of DnD OCs by devs in a homebrew module/campaign without proper focus on story.
Especially if you play custom character. You are nobody doing nothing but doing things your companions want.
I wrote a longer post about the problems on another thread. Too lazy now.

just chat with him casually

suddenly wants to dance with me and have gay sex at the party

are all nigs this zesty?

Karlach the Womanchild, Wyll

The evil companions are the only good ones. Karlach is reddit. Wyll is boring. Gale is tolerable in that you can berate him for lying to you constantly and the story establishes he's a fuckup.

Wyll was clearly their favorite for players to pick an MC since he starts with an effective CHA class and has a more traditional RPG story attached to him. Even then I think Gale is a more popular MC. I think it's because he's white.

Karlach the Womanchild

At least barbarians are fun to play.

Everyone wants to fuck you in this game homie.

Evil cleric wants to ride your meat

Wizard wants to show you a magic trick (its anal sex)

Squid man wants to keep things professional and as control-able as possible. Then he suddenly wants to fuck you.

Its canon considering that Greenwood made everyone in FR a bisexual slut for some reason. People literally have gigantic orgies (all ages invited btw) in his magical realm setting.
Its just a little overplayed since D&D is le sexy and le bard seduces le dragon guiyz xD

More like Karlach the reddit whore

BG3 cast overall is pretty weak

True, but Id rather reclass a companion to Barb or get a hireling than listen to her. Wyll is boring but at least he sounds like he belongs in the game.
Karlach sounds like an actual 30 yo woman playing dnd and it hurts my ears

Astarion is unironically pretty good, just giving a character that much personality and not giving a fuck if you do evil shit was a nice change
Shame the LGBT D&D faggots clung to him really hard and I just see him as a faggot now because of it

It's counterbalanced him being the reason Mizora appears in the story.

His EA voice actor nailed the whole complete fraud persona. Played Wyll as if he was a crook larping as a good guy, and it worked. I have no idea why they changed him.

why didn't they want someone of Wyll's complexion coming off as a scheming fraud

lol

I miss her old design, the new one isnt bad but old one was better.
I wonder why they pivoted from the girl down by the river into whatever the fuck they ended up with

Is picrel the lamest companion in recent CRPG history?

Enter

So he's not allowed to be a fraud just because he happens to be black? That's pretty racist.

owlcat companions are lamer

I agree 100% and I think his characterization in EA was much better.

I also think complaining about the companions being evil was silly considering you can successfully face turn every single one of them.

Hasbro/WotC
There's been a BIG push lately to sanitize DnD to be more about silly quirky heroes fighting one-dimensional evil monsters in between happy social meets at highly diverse towns.
Karlach got similar sanitization because 'Seasoned and hardened soldier' isn't as "fun" as the quirky berserker.

You know what, you're absolutely right. Sosiel is so lame I had completely forgotten about him until you reminded me.

another zesty nog

they really are the lamest

pretty much

Yes, this guy is the worst companion, boring and no personality whatsoever. I wanted an option to remove him but keep Mizora right from the beginning.

Behold, a character so abhorrently mediocre that they give you MULTIPLE chances to kill her off with no consequences.

Yrliet.jpg - 2260x3778, 878.26K

he was more interesting in the early access when he sounded like a chav and was racist against goblins. he was an actual warlock instead of a chivalrous hedge knight that uses spells in combat.

this bitch was pretty bad but far from the worst, i think other anon is right with Sosiel

She would rank a whole lot higher if you could actually fuck her.

MUH SLANEESH

I CANNOT BE INTIMATE

the way she says Elantach gets me going though

Xoti is cute, I wish PoE2's "romances" weren't so half assed

I dunno it's just funny how her plot turns out

Multiple party members tell you to kill her just avoid her

They blatantly state that she's going to betray you, since it's in her nature

She doesn't get along with ANY of the party, at all, everyone hates her and rightfully so

She's literally incapable of doing anything right, including negotiating with other Eldar, which is the singular reason you'd logically take her

She's a complete blithering retard at best, and can easily be argued as willfully trying to murder you by proxies

Even if you're stupid enough to accept, forgive, and even romance her (which is a narrow as fuck path which will instantly fail if you don't pick exact dialogue options), she still abhors you and refuses to even touch you

It's like they designed a character to be as annoying and lame as possible.

I was ok with him at the start. But he gets so outclassed personality and story wise from everyone including the party members that join way later. He's one of the characters that is more suited for a "party with NPCs I haven't played with yet".

This game was always just a gay romance simulator with shit gameplay, it's obsolute when Expedition33 exists

I modded him to be white and still ignored him almost entirely because he was so dull

Several party members were rewritten to match certain 'player tropes'. Wyll is the new player who the DMis sorta going soft on and is just creating plot trails for him to pick up after the initial establishing sessions.
Hell even the Class fits; Warlocks are the easiest Caster with the most opportunities for DM intervention.

in recent CRPG history?

Why can't you faggots ever not use hyperbole? Are your brains so rotten that you can't write normal anymore?

They did him dirty in the final release. He was much more interesting back then instead of the milquetoast good guy with daddy issues we ended up getting.

Welcome to 4channel.org newfaggot

All the BG3 companions are pretty boring to be honest. I'm really just indifferent to all of them. Which fucking sucks. If I like a character, the writer did a good job. Likewise, if I dislike a character, the author also did a great job, if his intention was to make me dislike him, and maybe make others like him. Indifference is the biggest issue. Because I just don't give a fuck, and every character becomes boring.

If kalrach lesbiazel astarion and shart are boring what does that make wyll?

boring.

Hey Commander. You forget about me again?

There's that black paladin woman that joins you right from the start in WotR
I don't even remember her name

only nigger companion

he's the dumbest by far

what did they mean by this?

As the other anon said, he's boring. Karlach is borderline tolerable and I just picked her for roster diversity. Shart is extremely predictable but she's also the only cleric so she gets a slot. The rest were OCs for a friend and myself. I guess Laezel isn't really horrible but again, she does nothing interesting.
BG3 really lacks the "basic bro" character. I really like those. Unfortunately, all the males are fags to some degree, which immediately makes them lose the bro status. Sorry, it is what is is.

Good Boy Niggers with family issues are always boring. Wyll from BG3, Jacob from ME2, Franklin from GTA5, protag from Watch_Dogs 2 etc. they basically have no personality.

ayo shephard it's getting boring up here on the normandy maybe... haha okay maybe next time

If there had been a Dwarf he would've been your basic bro.

ach corr blimey i need a drink AND MY AXE

Fpbp

He got rewritten and ruined because of fan feedback, he was secretly an evil cunt. He was happy to torture goblins and was pining after Mizora romantically. BG1/2 fags and some others in the EA were complaining about lack of truly "Good" companions.

Minsc, who was Reddit even before Reddit exited, should join Karlach and Wyll.

black people in westoid games aren't allowed to have character to them
feels tacky to even point out the irony but it just keeps happening over and over

Add Preston Garvey to this list.

I don't hate him but god he's boring

because they don't belong there

They literally did not finish writing him. Squeezing those fucking relics, Jaheira, Halsin and Minsc took up valuable writing power from Wyll. Not to mention that faggot Astarion taking largest piece of the pipe when it came to who they cared about most.

He doesn't even get to make a choice or even have an opinion about saving his dad but keeping the contract, or breaking the contract and losing his dad. You make that choice for him and he doesn't even say a word. It's so jarring.

I feel that the only real Reddit thing from Gale is that cringe ass story where he says he stopped a brawl by yelling for Ale n a bar. It comes off so fucking fake lol

It's called racism they make him bad on purpose, so white supremacists like you can make threads like this
Like clockwork racist whites come I. In droves, how can.i not support white genocide when whites fo shit like this?

Yes but that's Gale. He's fake as fuck. Everything he tells you is a lie or covering his ass

Wyll had those elements filed down, but Gale is a good companion with a disingenuous center until you break him in.

@709387696
janny do your job please
trolling outside of Anon Babble is against the rules I'm pretty sure

The complete opposite of reality where blacks are the most popular and coolest, whites are jealous of that so they do racist shit to black characters always.

Sosiel from pathfinder is the same, also gay lmao

Oh fuck off you rscist pussy,you ppl say nigger all.iver the place but when it's against st you it's a problem fuck off coward racist

Wish they'd just attach her to the protagonist so she pops up here and there tormenting him in a femdom-y way
The fact that there's an animation of kissing a goblin's toe but not hers is a genuine crime against humanity

Not gonna lie I don't call Wyll a nigger because he does nothing nigger-adjacent. Dude is a coconut, brown on the outside, white as a fucking ghost on the inside.

He’s not even the lamest modern crpg companion. Every Owlcat game has at minimum one companion that’s abhorrentt. Wyll isn’t even that bad he’s just not as good as he could have been

early access feedback ruined tons of aspects
'daisy' was considered rapey and wyll was also toned down as people thought he was annoying

If you're going to appropriate my ancestor's language to complain about my ancestors, could you at least do it properly?

no hes a video game nigger

ok the shareholders demand NIGGERS in the game as the bbc market is really hot amongst the modern audiences

but dont make them offensive so write them as the moral highground, centrist, and goodie two shoes

if any sjw journo says something negative about a black chararacter in our game you're fired

I agree. She's the exact kind of femdom semen demon we need more of in vidya in general. I'm glad I never played BG3 in multiplayer, because I'd show my powerlevel for sure.

To be fair, all the companions were real assholes. I remember playing the early access way back when and every time I met one I was like, "Why the FUCK would I ever team up with these jerks?"

Yet again proving that femdom is literally the gayest fucking fetish there is. Get some fucking taste you bitchass niggers.

He's not bad, I don't understand why people hate him.
He's just a dumbass dude that got manipulated by spicy devil pussy and ruined his and his father's lives. He's a good guy, ultimately, just really stupid.

Okay buddy retard

i really wish they'd stuck with daisy. the emperor twist makes the whole parasite thing completely irrelevant.

Funny, isn't it. The companions all being complete dickwads was the main reason why people gravitated towards Halsin, since he's one of the first people who is just genuinely friendly and helpful towards the player.
Then they included Halsin as companion, but rewrote the other companions to be tolerable and reduced Halsin's personality to a sex joke.

It really is noticeable how late an addition the Emperor was. His entire backstory makes exactly zero sense, and unlike Daisy he just sucks complete ass at seducing you into illithid-dom.

he's fucking great if you play his origin and kill karlach and side with mizora
mizora basically starts worshipping him and helping him out of fondness by the end of the game

are you of the opinion that AAA publishers like to put realistic blacks in their video games or something

Yea, shit build too. That said as a rich kid I appreciated both the representation and lawyer dommy mommy.

Depends what version. Gale was without a doubt the worst video game character ever made. Bizarrely terrible. Just a bipolar loser alternating between agressive creepy faggot and depressed suicidal ideation.
They improved him a ton since 1.05.

I had newfound respect for Wyll when I played as him. As a companion he's a little bitch boy but chaos Wyll is actually chad as fuck
I had more fun with his origin than I did Shart's and she's my waifu

Early Access Wyll was far better
Sadly him and Karlach are the most half-based companions with little going on most of the game compared to the others who feel way more fleshed out

Also miss evil Shart. Larian fucked up by kneeling to fans demands.

Shart's and she's my waifu

The language you forced my ppl to speak? Kill yourself racist. You took my original language away.

Player choice

Why is this game so homosexual!

just admit ur racist chud

Every owlcat companion except Ember and Regill

How broken do you have to be to hate Minsc and Karlach. Who hurt you?

My man

I'm of the "opinion" that there's a difference between black people and niggers. You're a bigger nigger than Wyll, for example.

Both the betrayal after using the hammer and being Baldur was just too much for me. Made zero sence.

damn what an L. youre people must suck ass if we mogged you so hard you had to change languages. embarrasing

They changed him because he was kind of a smarmy dick, that would have certainly grown over the following acts, but because it was only act 1 in early access a lot of people walked away thinking he was very annoying. So they rewrote him to be more likeable, which just ended up with him having no spice, so while he's now likeable, he's just boring. Like vanilla. Also keep in mind they technically changed everyone from EA a lot, Wyll just got the worst of it because he was the character that was last worked on before 1.0.
Gonna be honest I much prefer final Karlach. The concept of an unstoppable berserker finally escaping Hell and becoming a gold-hearted friend to all that is good because they know they only have a short time to live is a lovely concept compared to yet another seasoned warrior that has suffered in war trope. Current Karlach pairs comedy with tragedy.

Nigger is a racial.slur for all blacks, you using that racist logic means you need death white supremacist

LOL, buckbroken.

being Baldur was the dumbest shit to me, thats when i just rolled my eyes

also the fact that if you just refuse him he just reactively just goes "IM OUT IM JUST GONNA GO WITH THE BRAIN"

That's how evil your ppl are, demons, and you deserve to BE genocided. It's why I support white genocide.

The Red Prince does the exact same thing and is infinitely more interesting because he isn't perfect and often a dick but DOES adapt to your party after learning the world doesn't revolve around him

ahhh u mad

Lol white genocide

My favorite Wyll moment is when he is dancing like a fag, he asks you to dance with him and you go "no way fag" and he exits the scene completely dejected in an unwarranted way.

That whites still exist yes.

Karlachs The Death of Ivan Ilyich final 3rd is the closest the game ever gets to high art. Karlachs existential speech after beating the tyrant was the highpoint of the game. Its all universally panned by dumb fag's who haven't read a book since school.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Couldn't protect his mudhuts and his monkey language from the evil White man

Thinks he could kill all of them somehow

lmao

Fugly face scars, horrible dreads, ugly eye, daddy issues.

Still better than Halsin.

They should have kept evil Shart so it made the impact of revealing the abuse from shar to her and the conversation to Selune more significant. Current Shart constantly does and approves of things that are basically against the attitude of Shar and its really funny

you think there will ever be an RPG game where you aren't magically forced to just run around as a group of 4 instead of using all companions?

Worse was they actively made him more bland. Early access Wyll had more going on but players complained he was morally grey so they just made him bland.

I am not your pet, mon’keigh

I am not your pet, mon’keigh

I am not your pet, mon’keigh

I am not your pet, mon’keigh

People talk a lot of shit about the heretic route, but sacrificing this annoying bitch’s soul to Slaneesh was one of my best gamer moments

I know beating up Gortash is what Karlach wants in the moment but it is so so much more satisfying if you play into his demands and watch him get smited by the Brain.
Neil Newbon winning best VA is deserved but if there was an extremely close second that deserved winning its also Karlachs VA

I had the exact opposite, he talks about what an amazing dancers he is, I asked him to show me though he was my least favorite character, he says no in the most disgusted go kill yourself way. Never talked to him again till forced in the 3rd act.

download expanded party mod

Done

Mentally unwell or false flagging faggot pretending to play a poltards wet dream?

I just gave her, Idira and the emo eldar to the Inquisition. I have yet to play the Chaos route because I doubt that they have fixed Uralon yet.

sad thing is she'll retain that goody two shoes demeanour (IMO at least) even after she becomes Shar's chosen
she'll still criticises durge for becoming bhaals chosen

He goes with the brain because he still convinces himself he isn't influenced by it. He spends all this time gaslighting you into thinking he's different from the other mind flayers. He really isn't. He's like an abandoned child thinking, as a last resort, maybe I should go back to mother

This with permadeath is how I did my last run.

He's fine, but a bit intentionally inoffensive. The arrogant early access Wyll who seemingly hid behind a facade of bravado and chivalry to cover up his fuck-ups was a lot more interesting and would have opened up for some more character development

youtube.com/watch?v=SOy1vYHY01g

and that doesnt work because the game is not made for a party of 8.
only the first 3 companions you add are actively participating in the story in most occasions

wish you could still select those builds

In my run she just became an apathetic atheist with black hair. I've never heard anyone else get that.

You get all the banter though and if a scene calls for a character it will happen.

most people dont intentionally play the game wrong

I don't think that's true, at all.

I will murder hobo you!

GRAVITY IS ONE MEAN MOTHER

What’s wrong with Uralon besides not having much gear?

If people don't worry about their choice then they're not playing the game wrong.

Bugged gear.

I just played a game where I ran around with 3 party members. Was fun. Using all of them would just be clusterfuck.

i dont mind being limited to 3-4, i'd hate to have everyone around because i usually end up hating most of them, imagine being forced to bring people you hate along

the worst trope in these games is when a character leaves and comes back near the end or some other dumb shit
