Sebastion VS Natty

[Chris2]

Anyone else also unable to stand Natty's personality? I find her character to be so artificial and lacking charisma. Without a doubt I chose Sebastion who is more charismatic and also less annoying. I was wondering if this is just me or does anyone else feel the same way?

I do not remember teens like that growing up in my country, and feel very fortunate about the fact if it is normal somewhere else.

I kind of agree.

I would say most teens were bullies in one form or another. But that wouldn't really make for a fun game unless the game would allow you to fight back which it absolutely wouldn't because they would not want the rating change. But that might just be the high school I went to.

The best decision Ive ever made was to get off twitter and reddit.

Facts, I still go on Twitter but gave up on Reddit completely

Not a big fan of Natty since Sebastian is by far more interesting.(serious) Also she made me ride a useless Hippogriff when I prefer my broom! (joke)

I find that much of the writing leaves a lot to be desired. A lot of the plots and miniplots in HL feel shallow and uninteresting, particularly the main story (interacting with the keepers). The main story is just thinly veiled way to make the character to go to dungeons, fight mobs and solve puzzles, until you get the next call.

Sebastian's questline is the only story in the game that feels properly engaging and emotional. He also has lot of good lines that make him feel like an actual person instead of a random NPC. Same of Ominis. Like Sebbie trying to do small talk while climbing a mountain in "in the shadow of the mountain" quest.

Can't say I particularly like either of them. The writing in this game is... well, "mediocre," would be putting it kindly.

Between the two, I suppose Seb is the more compelling character.

But that is alright, this is a Action Adventure and they are npcs (they are not companions) that can help you a bit in terms of forwarding the basic story and company you in a few quest.. they are fillers, so that you don´t feel entirely alone.

Kind of? I guess it depends on how far you go with both their quest lines. In Sebastion's arc was shallow but his character took a couple sharp turns here and there, and he at least had motivations to do what he did. Natty's "arc" was "I'm a gazelle and maybe my dad did that thing for a reason *surprised Pikachu face*"

Amit seems like a bunch of Californians watched Big bang theory and said ''oh thats how indians stereotypes are, the smart Chinese 2.0" When ive been surrounded by Indian most my life.

Now that you mention it he does seem very Raj HAHA.

Seriously couldn't care less about Natty. Thought she was a bit obnoxious since the first time I met her in charms class so I just go ahead and skip all the dialogue with her. Sebastian has been a very well written character so far and I actually give a damn about his arc, partially because he seems to actually have personality.

I thought he was interesting at first, but he's just a shallow evil dude.

It would be more honest of you to say you haven't played the game at all.

[Dragon Master]

I like them both.

Natty is a typical Gryffindor and made a great contrast to my herbologist/potioneer Ravenclaw I had going. My character's approach to combat is all about preparation and Natsai jumps into situations because she wants to prevent what happened to her and her father from happening to others.

Sebastian is very much a "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" type character, and he made a similar but very different contrast to my Ravenclaw character as well. He's the clear-cut example of what happens when you don't know when to stop, which was a driving force for how my character handled the ending of the game.

I do wish we got more of Amit Thakar though.

Just because my opinion and standard of writing, differs from yours, does not mean I have not played the game.
One would have to be rather new to steam, to not understand that I both own the game and have played it...

If you don´t think they are shallow, that is fine, that is your opinion.. you could tell us why you think so, instead of making personal attacks on other people for their views.


Most likely we don´t use the same definitions on what character progression is, nor what a companion vs npc is.

Yeah, its super annoying when its CONSTANTLY brought up in the discussion pages too.

Personally I don't care about the character's race. Is it cool when the big world split into races so you can guess where the character is from just by looking at them? Sure. Does it matter much in this game? No.

What I don't like is forced characters/quests/companions that do nothing but indulge the critics/roaring crowd. They can never go wrong, they cannot be evil, they cannot be flawed in any way. There's no moral dilemmas with them, there's no substance.
And that's what Natty is regardless of the race.
