starting party and destinies

[funkmonster7]

Does this matter much at all? Which destiny choices are "best"? I personally like "-15% suspicion for petty thefts" the most but is it pointless later on in the game?

they're all pretty pointless later on, but it's really what you prefer to take as a downside early on

They're certainly noticeable, but I don't think they're so noticeable as to always pick the same ones if you're just trying to get a move on or roleplay or whatever it is.
Oh, I will say you should avoid a very hard time getting up though. Going from 0% chance to get ambushed per rest to 10% chance to get ambushed sucks. Getting ambushed makes for a tougher fight, stops all camp productivity, and drops your fatigue some. It hurts, from early to late game.

IMO, the best positive ones are long walks and slap games. There's limited fatigue reduction sources, so 10% is nice. Crit sources are rare, so anything that boosts it is nice too.

For the flaws, my personal pick is eternal dissatisfaction. It can be nullified in the early game by simply having a companion at the camp fire, and in the late game by having two companions like each other and exist near each other.

i ever getting the plus 10 danger during camp. if they unbug the watchtower its a none issue (till now it still show 10 danger withn a manned watchtower, where the tower shoud lower it by 10.... )

[Ittrix]

I feel like hard time getting up sets the minimum danger to 10, rather than increases the danger by 10. Either way it's *real* rough. Anything but it is better lol.

I picked the "carry capacity -1" instead. Most of my carry capacity comes from my workhorses anyway, they all have at least +40 carry capacity, -1 per companion is not a major loss.

[BedlamBetty]

yeah, that's the logic I go with too, carry capacity is all in the horses and since you can make the starting horse stocky and brawny, that completely negates the debuff right off the bat

I like crit damage for the positive and the slower Suspicion depletion exclusive to the bandit start for the negative

taking crit hit as the negative one with crit damage as the positive one is a reasonable path forward - with crit hit being the negative one you can always overcome that by weapons and other gear - plus it's a personal stat you can increase as time passes. Others may disagree of course :)
