Best class for player character?

[Greywolf]

And don't give me that hippy "the best class is the one you have the most fun playing maaaaaaan" crap, just tell me what class you had the most fun with in this game and what classes synergise well with the existing companion characters.

Also do the companion characters really add all that much to the overall experience? Generally I find the companion characters are pretty bad compared to characters you build yourself and if Kingmaker is anything to go by I just did not find the companions all that interesting and am not interested reading through them waffle on about their backstory only for them to contribute little to the overall experience.

Also I care not for romance cause I am a chad with really big no no parts who ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and leaves them to care for my offspring.

With that sentence I hereby say Sorcerer is most fun and easy to start with. You can skill them for bow, light weapons or even normal weapons, and still enjoy all the stuff a spellcaster can. Due to the flexibility you have plenty of synergies with all companions. You might even prefer sorcerer instead of having a wizard in your party.

Alternatively hunter. Because they can become a) super strong and super cool aka sharpshooter / dual wielder wise, b) they can have an extra tank/tripper/mount animal companion c) their teamwork feats make them highly valuable for any party.

Let me know if this is the kind of reply you are looking for.

Fighter. Fits into any comp, works with basically any mythic path, done. Ask a boring question get a boring answer

My first was a 2H warrior. Was fun... for me rediscoevering the games. However i loved Azata but bugs meant i do not know if all worked correctly..

Current and second is a master of spell wizard, and i have a lot more fun. Aeon path, fun but not as much as Azata, even if i like the powers.

I intend to try every mythic path (so 10 runs).

I created many NPC in this run, and one of them is a slayer which is a monster. I would have loved to have it as main. It is better at level 15 than my 2H warrior at level 20. Experience in levelling, learning the game (again after PKM which is my only knowledge of the engine) shows itself.

Companions is a personal preference thingy. Gameplaywise I consider them less good than in Kingmaker. They seem ~ more exotic, sure ~ but that does not make them necessarily better. In fact it is even worse for beginners to the genre compared to the easy to understand companions in Kingmaker.

You still can always hire mercenaries. You usually still get to see companion quest whether you take them along or not. With very rare exceptions, that is.

for angel mythic path full divine caster like cleric or oracle
for lich mythic path full arcane caster like wizard or sorcerer

I'm playing Sylvan Sorcerer, get a Smildon from the start, buff him with mage armor, stomp everything. Later when I got to Hilor recruited 4 mercs - vivisectionist, Mutation fighter ( 2handed+vital strike) , animal/community cleric, Dovier druid. Last spot I take whatever companion I need to complete his side quest for.

Because you can turn most all of the companions into more or less anything you want, subject to their given stat profiles of course, there isn't really an answer to this question. You can play anything you like.

If you were to ask what if I want to leave the companions more or less as they are given to me then the big obvious gaps are a Bard and a big 2H melee damage dealer that hits like truck (at least until L7/8 and even then you don't get the "big" part). You get two tanks, two priests, a rogue, an archer and two arcane casters basically.

This question really depends on what alignment you wanna play and what mythic path you wanna take. If you're gonna go full generic merc party then the "play what you like maaaaaan" 'hippy' answer is still the most accurate

Ah ok, kind of played Sorcerer in Kingmaker so was thinking of going something different

Kind of want to go a sort of overzealous lawful neutral type dark paladin or something kind like the medieval Judge Dredd, the kind of person who just punches demons and establishes order with brutal efficiency

Oh you can be a Hellknight in this game?

Yep. Considering one of your possible companions is a Hellknight, it was very easy to pinpoint your description on them.

Also you might fit into the Aeon mythic path naturally.

[Klutch]

main enemy is demons, so hellknight is kind of a stupid pick
