I hate all the companions in Baldurs Gate 3. So...

[XGear]

If you play without them, what is the consequence in the main story?

Shadowheart is unbearable, her way of "Shar this" Shar that" is always sarcastic and unbearable. I can't stand this NPC anymore, seriously.

Gale, I don’t even need to comment, right? He practically only thinks about sex with our character all the time, and keeps asking for items to devour. Such boring and annoying guy, i hate him!

Astarion, this one is a big Insufferable, boring, sinic and liar. He only knows how to talk about Cazador or Blood, a huge bore and idiot. I'm glad I stuck the stake in that idiot's chest and never saw him again in the game.


Lae'Zel. This one behaves like a BG3 fanboy saying the game is GOTY. The difference is that Lazel's GOTY is Vlakith and her people. During the journey, her people are huge aswholes, and she herself is a total pain in the bass. Always talking about that damn gith creche to be our salvation, which never solves any of the problems, and only leads to more battles with those crazy Gith who only care about the damn artifact.

Karlach is simply a nuisance bomb. She thinks she's a 15 year old, acts like a 15 year old, and is really annoying all the time. She doesn't stop saying offensive words for a second and she's a stinking tiefling. Will himself calls her Stink of Avernus.

Will is another annoying guy, always telling lies and wanting his and his father's problems to be resolved. This is when he also doesn't try to make small talk about dancing with the protagonist, already thinking like Gale about having a night of sex! Damn these NPCs, we just want to play the game and not have "sex" crap.


I really hate these characters a lot, they are boring, full of mental problems and only think about sex all the time, is there any way to play without any of them without compromising the original story? I hate them all so much, they are so boring!

Forgive me for not being able to love these stupid companions like you. In my entire life I have played RPG games, Dragon Age, Dragons Dogma, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy (All), Dragon Quest, Grandia, Tengai Makyo among many others with fabulous and incredible stories and never, I say "NEVER" have I seen party members so stupid and poorly written like these from BG3. Did you like it? Did you think it was great? Great, your opinion and I have nothing to say about it. However, to me, they are all incredibly stupid, pointless, and poorly written. Characters without charisma and with a foul and uninteresting story. My game is better without them and no matter what anyone says, this is what I think and I will never change my mind. If this game didn't have these companions, it would be a better game. Not to mention that they are all written based on a WOke+LGBTQIAP+ Agenda, which makes me lose even more interest in them, as I'm not interested in the content that these agendas have to offer.

Freshening up the bait?

Most likely, I mean who could take these ridiculous exaggerations serious?

Another day, another BG3 troll-post from you eh?

If you weren't trying to lump in pedophiles with LGBT people, maybe other people wouldn't call you a troll. Just saying.

Sure, nothing to do with you posting multiple hate threads & comments with laughable logic like it's your day job?

At least, I truly hope that you're trolling, the alternative is that you're serious in which case; "a WOke+LGBTQIAP+ Agenda"? Oh dear...

I also think your arguments are laughable logic. And if you know how much posts i made to the point of call it a "job" is becouse you participate in all of them, wich confirm that you may also do this as your job? Hipocrisy?

And yes, BG3 is all about agendas. From character creation, plot, and finally, all their NPCs!

0/10 trolling. Must try harder next time.

ha I am a HUGE fan of these types of games. And I admit I find all of the NPCs annoying also. I recall the NPCs in Dragon Age fondly, their stories were quirky, they were endearing and lovable.

The bunch of NPCs in BG3 all have HUGE tragic backstories, are over the top in terms of story tropes, and yes are always proposing sex. The second conversation with Gale, I was asked if I wanted to be intimate with him. Err I just met the guy??

Also, where are the small folk?? Not a single halfling, gnome or dwarf in the storyline. A happy go lucky halfling would have done WONDERS for the group.

I like the game overall, just not the NPCs, I do not find them endearing at all. The only NPC arc I do enjoy is Lazael, because she is true to her people and is original. I "get" her personality. But she also brazenly said, early after meeting (third night in camp) she wanted to "taste me". err.... sigh.

Why are modern trolls so boring and unoriginal? Maybe the smart trolls are feeding somewhere else, or is this just an unlucky generation?

[PsychoPsyops]

Karlach’s character makes sense. As she’s a virgin who hasn’t been able to touch or get close to anyone, she wouldn’t have known how to grow up or fully mature. Realistically you'll find most virgins irl will have this mindset.

[777]

I kept Mintara, Laezel and Shadowheart. And all in order to make a harem. They evaluate all evil actions positively. Therefore, here you can find something for yourself. I threw out the rest, they were very boring.
If you have sex with Mintara after killing the druids, Laezel will no longer bother you with sex.

I feel you, my Dark urge barbarian is using their body parts as throwing weapon.
You should try recruiting Minthara too, she is the only interesting companion in my opinion.

In fact Minthara is not on my "Boring" list. One of the few characters that seems interesting. I allied myself with her and we destroyed the druids' camp, which is a totally evil place in my opinion. It was very funny.

Well you came here to tell everyone, and newsflash, you aren't going to change anyone's mind either. You could also just not play a game you don't like, which would be much better for your mental health.
