Here's a great one.
Characters no one has ever used
counterpoint: a character the devs/writers/gamesystem never used.
I look like this.
Aerie's baby's father
It's because people want diversity in their D&D group,
Even Chuds want diversity.
And you already have 1 druid. You will opt for a different character even though druids banding together is very realistic roleplay.
I used Mazzy in one of my playthroughs. I had her dual-wielding and she was pretty effective.
she was kind of a gag character in that AD&D itself would not let halflings become paladins. there was nowhere to go.
I did his quest once. It's kinda wacky. But yeah it's hard to justify using him when Jaheira is more interesting and mechanically superior.

In my experience, what people actually want in their D&D group is for eveyone else to cater to their specific fantasy.
nah he has the insect swarm
jacob from me2 is boring and a useless class. real lack of foresight to make an npc 0% will take
They should have given us Faldorn as the alternative druid, because she was recruitable in the first game, and we could use an extra member for evil-aligned parties.
But I'll say one thing in Cernd's defence: Jaheira will quit your party if you upset her, and Cernd at least gives you a backup druid if she leaves. Jaheira is capricious and can abandon you when you don't expect it.
Umaro from FF6 as you can't change his equipment and he's perma-berserked but most importantly he can't equip magicite to improve his stat gains leaving him as a weak character
thats a good quest about he's a dead beat dad frolicking in the trees and gets told to fuck off with his wisidom
nobody used the best archer in the game
zoomerbro....
I immediately benched Halsin the moment he joined my party and I have never witnessed anyone using Halsin as a regular party member.
I want to use Halsin, I really really do and not just for bear sex. I love druids everywhere and I can justify running at least 2 no problem. I love druids in 3.5 in 4 in PF, in BGs 1&2, in NWNs 1&2 and their secondary campaigns. Druids in 5E are really painfully bland though and BG3's implementations are pathetic.
BG3's implementations are pathetic
Their shapeshifting is good, especially the Owlbear form.
It's not weak but it's not good in any way shape or form. It breaks all synergy including to druids themselves because of concentration and also the secondary movement effects of druid spells that make them usable at all. Druids are anti-druid synergy.
I prefer parties with zero druids, personally.
99+% of CRPGs avoid the wilderness anyway or dont let you talk to animals and do wilderness-y investigating or survival things so that's completely understandable.
You can fly across large distances and stomp down on enemies with a knockover effect. It's very useful and it's good.
it's not weak but it's not useful or good, merely memes.
It's the second part I found a bit funny, with the wannabe lich who is iirc dating Cernd's babymomma and attempts to sacrifice the kid to obtain lichdom. I may have butchered the details but it's a quite a dark situation. However it comes out of nowhere and suddenly having these liches involved seemed like an asspull.
Rangers can do it anyway. IWD2 has one part where you have to navigate a forest and it's really annoying unless you can make wilderness lore checks.
Did anyone pretend they used this dork because of the three OP druid spells in BGII yet
It was really cool Larian decided to keep the tradition of companions no one seriously uses by adding wyll to the third game
sorry gay'd of frontiers theres only room for one warlock(/bard/paladin) in this party
why wouldn't this be a woman tho
To be fair the VA they got for him is great, I wish he played a good character or something.
It might be fun to use Wyll as your player character and make him as evil as you possibly can, going against the grain of his goody-two-shoes personality.
it was mindflayers and it tied into the secert dungeon infestation
Breddy sure that's Jan's quest, not Cernd's. I thought that quest was pretty cool.
wyll originally was a charlatan only putting on the blade of frontier shit for airs. it makes way more sense for him being a warlock and I wish they kept that for him instead of just turning him into an unequivocally good guy. he could have had an arc where the player helps him becomes the hero he pretends to be. as is, yeah he's really fucking boring
Yeah, he should at least be a morally grey character, given his pact with Mizora. People in the Forgotten Realms seem to be familiar with devils and the pitfalls of dealing with them, so a purely good character would never sign the infernal contract. The fact that Wyll did this, but is still supposed to be Lawful Good, creates a contradiction.
wyll just seems like a grade A retard when you confront the tiefling he's hunting and assures is an evil demon, with his source being- a devil. and it never crosses his mind that the devil could be lying to him, he acts like he can't be wrong when his fucking source is a devil
