Am I the only one that hates Petrus?

[Xordania]

Like I haven't gotten far into the game, came upon San Matheus and immediately wanted to nuke the "Inquisition" and everyone associated with it. Including Petrus who seems to be a lowkey psycho but for some reason in every mission I've taken him along in, he's rather helpful and NOT AT ALL heavily sided with the Church. He's a very confusing character for me. Does he just not believe in the church? Or is he doubting his own beliefs? I've gone out of my way to not use him unless I have to of course.

Edit - At first he seemed to be heavily on the church's side, now he seems like he's very "On my side"...Idk, something isn't right about him.

*Also no spoilers please*

He's pretty funny for me, but don't like using em as a companion unless its for the quest I like the gun girl and Siora

The inquisition is a faction of the church, not all of it. The governor and Petrus both dislike them. But maybe they fear their militant power.
Petrus is a shrewd politician who built his political capital through making friends in unlikely places and backdoor dealing, not direct confrontation, show of force or populism. Atleast that's what I got from my interaction with him. He would unquestionably promote theleme interest, yes. But he will avoid situation where it comes to direct and violent confrontation. However, one must always keep their guard up while dealing with such people.

If you have taken him with you into missions, you aren´t really hating him.

But yeah, Theleme, the Inquisition and Petrus are something I try to ignore, I actually don´t know if I will face with them in a second playthrough.

I hate him. Not so much after doing all his missions but I still strongly dislike him. His talking about my character's youth and being called his child or son/daugther all the time feels belittling. I don't think he is particularly useful in combat either, I like the combat styles of the other companions more.

I cant stand the whole faction of Theleme.
I actually always choose the options that give me negative relation with them, even if i have the skills to avoid it.
Because ♥♥♥♥ religious fanatics.

I kinda disliked all factions except natives, coin guard and nauts but played nice and friendly and then banished them all off my ppls island and let them all die miserably on the continent. >:D

Just saying it without spoilering: Petrus' quest line is very interesting story and lore-wise.

Do you see the natives going around killing the foreigners because they dont want to convert to their religion? Or put them in "reeducation camps"? No? Then they are not fanatics.
The whole native religion is " we live in harmony with nature, leave us alone".
You cant get more non fanatical.

I don't think you quite understand the meaning of "religious fanaticism". Also, "primitive" animists have never been big on proselytizing anywhere ever so the first point is utterly moot from the get go.

He is not the best written character that is for sure but his personal story/quests do shed a little more light on who he is. Hes loyal to Theleme but not as one dimensional as that seems at first.

[The Badman]

Just finished his quest and while it didnt have the best mission design. Definitely among better written ones in this game and explain a lot of thing.

I don't agree with the overly zealous Theleme citizens, but I do like Father Petrus's connection to De Sardet. However the best thing about him is that damn voice, it's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good on the ears, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
