So many of KotoR’s felt bland (Carth, T3, Mission, Zalbaar) and I can’t remember who a single Jade Empire companion is even when looking at a list of their names, except for your friend from the beginning. I really like people who are kind of vulnerable because they can’t admit they’re vulnerable which is why Miranda makes an honourable mention. I don’t think it’s really surprising that ME2 had the most interesting set of companions. He barely interacts with the PC in 1 except for his big confrontation. *I counted Wrex here, because if it weren’t for him in ME2 he wouldn’t have come close to making the list. Honouraries, Aveline, Miranda, Juhani, Zaeed, Cullen It would be even more wonderful if HK-47 had made your top ten. In short, Mumbles, wonderful to have you back as always. Or Sten with Morrigan if you want to see Morrigan put in her place for once. And Shale has a little bit of her own thing going as well being more grumpy and less enthusiastic in her sociopathy. But frankly, HK-47 is so awesome that even a second rate imitation of him is still a pretty awesome character.

I’m glad I encountered her first because if I’d played KOTOR first I’d have been tempted to write her off as a 2nd rate HK-47. But I had plenty else in that game to go on. I was depressed, as I often am, and this was one of those quiet comforting moments that helps get me through lonely evenings.Ī similar scene with Keira Metz in Witcher 3 was nice too. Not a great character, not the best storyteller but even with those flaws, sitting with her in camp listening to her stories while that wonderful camp theme was playing is what roped me into the game once and for all. I came around on him because he was at least attempting levity and because it was obvious that his humor was masking a lot of pain.Īnd Lelianna in the camp. I was expecting Alistair to be the funny guy at first but I didn’t find his jokes all that good. He’s like Worf in that they both have a very dry sense of humor (you have to press him a bit).
