Who is your favorite Padner?

[Woofy]

I like Suzy...Just think she looks cool!

[Du-Vu]

Gary gets the best dialogue I think. And Doc Alice and her skeleton insta-kill are hard to beat But I like them all. And all Gary all the time would be, uh, a little much.

[Ghin]

Ol Pete has all the best lines

[Thax]

Doc Alice is my primary. Susie would be my nr. 2. I'm very fond of Alice's ability to one-shot kill any skeleton. :')

[Woofy]

If you have Alice, you can't create the Buffalo Skeleton, right?...Not sure, but I thought so.

It's nice to have the doc with you so you can really slug it out with stronger enemies.

You wouldn't think so, but you can. I always have Buffallo Bill with me, whether Alice is there or not. You can't become the necromancer though. I always choose Suzie or Pete, when I plan to go down that route.

I haven't tried much of everyone, but Susie and Doc Alice are fantastic. Susie does decent damage, and Alice being able to just insta kill a type of enemy is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ powerful.
Haven't played much with Pete or Gary, although they don't seem particularly strong from what little I've tried with them?

You're right about that. I've only played with Pete twice when doing the evil necromancer route, but his only semi-useful skill (imo) is weakening all the enemies before he gets killed. Gary is nothing but a hilarious handicap. He's funny to travel with, but he blocks access to Goblin Gulch with all of its meat as well as the tent with unlimited goblins in uh... that fort full of uselessness and despair with all of its XP.

[Du-Vu]

Gary's combo attack makes him pretty OP in combat up to the mid-game if you grab all the fertilizer you can find, and he lets you talk your way past a lot of goblins (still getting loot and often XP, so he does make up for the loot in Goblin Gulch elsewhere). Hilarious either way. Worth taking for that alone.

Since you can play the game solo, you might as well just take them for the banter. Like I'm not sure if Crazy Pete just has some trick I'm just not aware of, but even if he doesn't add much in battle, he does tell you a bit more stuff about mines and the cult. I think he's mostly just there so people who don't bother to fully explore the tutorial area can still have a pardner.

All the companions seem to lag behind after a certain level, though, iirc. Gary's debuff from Fungal Spores and Doc Alice's insta-kill felt like they kept them relevant.

yes you can still have the buffalo skeleton

[FuzzyFlawed]

Gary is a chad

[eighmy_lupin]

Alice is the best as far as for combat imo, only down side is you cant to the necro ending with her, if you want to lee[ her. Gary is funny though.
