Sidekicks

[sundog005]

That moment when you take the sidekicks over the story companions because you don't like any of the story companions i.e. The Grinch, The Gay Fish and an unforgiving Pallegina ...Joking *but* are there any plans to flesh out the Sidekicks with stories? I'm currently traveling with Aloth, Eder and Xoti and don't really like *any* of the others so i took Ydwin the sidekick...Its a shame she didn't get a story she seems like she has great potential for a romance and story.

She does have some lines here and there. I agree, wished she was a companion representing tbe animancer side of things.

Tekehu is brilliant don't touch my squishy fish! (and he's also the most unique companion in terms of abilities and can do builds that no watcher or adventurer can which is very neat)

I really love all of the sidekicks too and I don't mind they are not full fledged companions. That being said I wouldn't mind having them getting a special "hidden" quest to get a reward for them or something.

On the contrary I could get into the idea of having many new sidekicks being added to the game via DLC content (free ones I'd say since logically Companions will come with the season pass similarly to White March). The same way the new sidekick is about to being added. It would be nice to have unique looking characters to have in the party (and on the ship) without feeling forced to create adventures to break the monotony of always having the same party members with very limited class choices.

I really wanted to like Maia, and did, until the first conversation and *Anti-Huana. I was like..okay...maybe it was just the one...nope, every story conversation she manages to bring it up. Tekehu gets better and better as he grows up a little as you go along. Eder is always amusing, Aloth is okay. Serafen, Maia, Pallegia I kept in the party just long enough to race through their quests. Pallegia's 'let me tell you why I'm an athiest' got old real quick given that every conversation in the game revolves around one of the gods. Even if you agree with her.
