I can't stand this Amiri chick.

[hyperion]

I can't stand her already. 2 minutes of gaming. What is wrong with her? Are her shoes too tight? I want to kill her, can I kill her?

But I guess you could just attack and kill her, if you don't want her around...

You can't. But you can expell her from your party forever.

I like her, but I can see why you don't. Some of her dialogue did make me raise my eyebrows (she REALLY seems to hate men). But when she isn't ranting about how weak men are and how strong women are, I quite like her attitude and personality.

I actually like Linzi too, but for different reasons.

I like how they mix in the barely socialable Barbarian trope onto her. I don't mind her man hate so much, I think of her as Ayla from Chrono Trigger.

She's from the Realm of the Mammoth Lords. Basically Ayla from Clan of the Cave Bear (the novel). The Kellids (native people of the Realm of the Mammoth Lords) are somewhere between cave men and Cimmerians (conan's people) in terms of culture and technology. There are a lot of dinosaurs in the Realm of the Mammoth Lords. Amiri probably thinks most of the people in the River Kingdoms are complete softies compared to what she's used to back home.

I perfer silent types myself, but i just can't ignore how adorable her voice are. Listening to it is a real pleasure, one that i will never have irl, so i enjoy it as much as i can. I wish only that the game was fully voiced, but... Maybe in definitive edition or something like that.

I guess you don't play in/read about many Fantasy settings then, because thats what Halflings are pretty much always like.

Amiri, on the other hand... I don't know, her voice acting is not imprinting a good impression.

Well, it seems to me that her intelligence is displayed wrong.
I suppose its maybe 7... or 6... or -1.

Conan the Barbarian is a shining beacon of wit compared to her.

Nihilistic love to Harrim thou.

mention that shes rude to her and you notice that shes is trying to feel more secure because she was betrayed

[Krankus Wrexus]

look up amiri on google and her backstory will explain her outer shell she just needs some trust and respect

One thing I like about Amiri.

She doesn't give a *&$% if you like it or not. Gotta respect that. And if you don't, well she doesn't care.

Urgh yes it's a bit of a cringeworthy character I'm afraid, from dialogue to voiceover. Farewell to both nuance and subtlety, and that fake bass tone in the voice is grim AF. It's like the kind of fever dream Elizabeth Holmes is going to have in prison. As feminism, it's such an on-the-nose, hackneyed premise that I despaired when I first heard it. Oof, so there are no warrior women in your society of barbarians living in the harshlands and you needed to leave the tribe to prove that girls can also hit things? You don't say. Dan Brown, at gunpoint, could have come up with a better premise. The worst is when she insists on fighting the giant boar by herself and then falls over, almost dead, and then when you save her, she says 'you see? I did it!' If that were a male character I would feel exactly as contemptuously sorry for him as I do for her. I don't want to kill her, exactly, but at least if she were male she would have minimal dialogue: 'Crush kill. Crush good. Me crush good kill!'

Amiri is a canon character to Pathfinder.

She's also an interesting deconstruction of the strong, independent woman trope. She plays it up like she's this big and imposing woman who doesn't need men in her life but she is also a liar.

It's fun having her and Linzi travel with the party and Amiri complaining to Linzi why she doesn't believe her, or how Linzi lists animals that Amiri killed and points out that it is a fiction with Amiri going "I can totally kill them, just need to find them first."

It's established fairly early on that her words can't actually be trusted. Her whole story with the sword is a giant fabrication.

She was treated like crap by her tribe and they did try to kill her because they felt she was embarrassing them in front of other tribes, but Amiri is nowhere near as skilled or as awesome as she portrays herself to be either. She's putting up a front.

[Charllize]

She's a barbarian, what did you expect? A woman who will wash your socks? :)

Wow, talk about necromancy

That’s a liche’s job.

[Duder]

Anyone else think she's loosely based on Aayla from Clan of the Cave Bear?

[The.Spaz.]

I suppose what bothers me is how every character is too much of a stereotype, the definitely not the deepest bit of writing but once you adjust to it, it hardly matters. Not a lot of voice overs in this game.
