Origin character playthroughs

[KalkiKrosah]

I am playing the game from an origin character's perspective for the first time. I am almost done with act 1 and have been swapping people in and out as it suits me. It is getting close to the part where I do have to make the big decision though and can only save 4. So put yourself in my shoes for this situation.

If you were to have to play using only origin characters who would you choose to play as? Who would you bring along for the long haul? What would everyone's roles be? And why did you leave behind the people you left behind?

With my current game, I chose Lohse as my main character (hydro/aero build). I chose Ifan (war/necro), Sebille (scoundrel/dual-weild), and Fane (summoner) as her companions. I chose them because I like Ifan's personality, Fane's ability to chat it up with animals, and Sebille due to interesting backstory. Big Red got the axe since he was too pompous for his own good and the dwarf got axed just because I had no more room and he just drew the short straw, I guess.

I'd take Red Prince (Warfare/Polymorph), Ifan (Warfare/Hydro/Necro), Fane (Pyro/Geo), and Lohse (Aero/Hydro).

Only person I'd leave behind outright is Sebille because the edgelord thing rubbed me the wrong way. Beast only got left behind because I liked everyone else more and he's just kinda there, I suppose.

Red prince, lohse, beast, and sebille were my favorite. They all had good stories. Ifan I did not like at all. His story and voice bored me. His source skill sucked imo. Lohse takes the cake if you want a human in your party. Fane is really cool and funny, with a great source skill, if you dont care to have an undead on the team I would replace beast. I played red prince as 2h warfare poly. beast scoundrel dual weild. Sebille Marksman. Lohse summoner with buffs and utility.

Having played with Ifan, Lohse, Fane and Beast, I'd say that Lohse is a must have.
The other characters are nice as well, but don't add to the same extend.
I have heared that the red prince also has a very interesting story which results in different gameplay a couple of times. So if I had to give an advice to a version of myself who didn't play the game yet, I'd recommend these two.

My playthrough was done from Beast's perspective. I picked him because I wanted to do an all game play through and the preset battle mage was the role I wanted to tweak the most. I brought along Red Prince, Fane and Lohse along with me through most of the fort joy story line. Beast is my aerothurge, red is my pyrokinetic, lohse is my hydrophist and fane is my necromancer/tank. I have been swapping Sebille in and out so that I can steal from people when Fane has already stolen from them. I never even used Ifan once, I feel like he is the weakest link out of all six of the origin characters. His story seems interesting so one day I will bite the bullet and take him on reluctantly. But I probably will leave Ifan and Sebille behind. Ifan because he sucks overall and Sebille because her unique source skill is weak. A generic elf would suit my preferences better than Sebille would.

Fane's ability to chat it up with animals

That is just a talent and comes free with certain presets. The only reason Fane has that is because of the build you took for him.

Ifan's story isn't really all that. Literally having Sebille and Ifan in the same party destroys each other's story to a degree since literally every person they talk to is the same. Most of the side references with Ifan also seemed dull as it generally started a combat I preferred not to partake in until later. Not to mention how generic he tends to be and how pointless his source ability is. A buddy in a co-op game took him and it didn't take long before he regretted it.
Sebille isn't as bad, her elven trait is useful and while the source ability isn't too great, it does have its uses, though she really has to be a melee of some form to need it. I wasn't a huge fan of her story, as it really just seems like a better written version of Ifan. My comps often swap Lohse and Sebille interchangably (Lohse's story gets tiresome after awhile, unless you play as her). Occasionally I ditch Fane too, but thats mostly when I don't feel like having an undead.

I feel like out of all the source abilities Fane has the most useful one. It fits any comp no matter what you pick. The others are very situational. Red Prince has the second best one. Draining magic armor is very useful but against physical enemies does feel useless.

Lohse and Beast have disruptive magic abilities. The damage is alright but the crowd control is the real selling point. It does require that you shred the enemy's magic armor which makes it almost useless on a purely physical comp. But they have their uses.

Ifan's spirit wolf is weak and requires you to spec into summoning to give it any survivability come late game. Even then a regular incarnate ends up being better. And Sebille's God power is decent but does not synergize with how I play her which is either a rogue (who is untargetable half the time) or a ranger (who should not be getting targeted anyway). It's helpful but there are normal skills that do this action more efficiently and give some kind of buff to boot.

♥♥♥♥ the Origin characters I Make my own custom character / Plot if your talking about who i would play as? I would play out of the origin characters the people that fit my personality the MOST ♥♥♥♥ the abilitys coz you can customize them alot

Example Ifan wolf sure it requires summoning like your suggesting but i kinda like summoning so Point being? Oh your own personal taste? we dunno you well enough to come up with that choice on our own dude.

Reguardless If your asking who my fav NPC Companions are? Top 4 No real order ... kinda in order not realy is Loshe / Ifan / Sable / Beast I am one of the few that hate the res prince / Fane/Bane or w.e ♥♥♥♥♥♥ name he is pass on the lizard/undead guy

I would say Loshe/Ifan for sure and then the 3/4 place spot is Beast/Sable

kinda like the Merc / Girl with a demon trying to poses her ordeal / story the most.

I think the special source abilities should be ignored on character selection. I mean they are a nice to have, but I'd certainly not make any decision based on it.

Personally I also hardly ever used them. I thought Fane's was the most powerful one (extra turn) but as this broke the combat a couple of times I didn't use it either.

I liked sebile when I played her but I'm not sure how happy with her kill happy nature id be if I could curb it with my diologe choices so I'm not sure how good of a follower she is.
