Unfortunately Not a Real Pony

I like how the game is all "yeah if you just kill the leaders of the goblins they won't be a threat anymore" and then you actually kill them and the whole goblin camp tries to turn you into a kebab.

BG3 manages to perfectly replicate the dread you feel when your DM says "roll a perception/arcana/insight check... hmmm, okay" out of nowhere.

I was REALLY hoping for more barbarian-specific dialogue options tbh.

Like I can't be all like "RAAAAH AM BARBARIAN, NO NEED MAGIC" at Gale?

I was going to joke about how Astarion makes a whole lot of jokes about death and blood for someone who doesn't want to be recognized as a vampire, but then I realized that if I was a mysterious shadowy creature and no one knew, I'd ALSO ham it up and be all dramatic and stuff.

"Is it ethical to restore someone's pre-senility personality if he used to horrifically abuse his wife, but now she's mean and possibly abusive to him because he can't fight back" and other moral dilemmas games are making me ponder.

How many times will I do major damage by shoving these gith raiders off a tall structure before they stop standing RIGHT AT THE EDGE?

Headcanon: Shadowheart is pregnant. With a shadowbaby.

Rescued a dude from a burning building.

He got mad at me for looting on the way out and is calling the guards. While the building is going down in flames on our ears.

Predictions for the final companion roster of BG3:

We already have Shadowheart (cleric), Lae'Zel (fighter), Astarion (rogue), Wyll (warlock), and Gale (wizard).

I *strongly* suspect they're going to do "one companion of each class" like a lot of games do.

And from datamining, we know of three possible companions:
-Helia (no class listed), a werewolf entertainer... monk with the "gladiator" entertainer subtype?
-Karlach (tentatively listed as fighter), refers to herself as a "champion" of Zariel - paladin, I'd bet on it
-Minsc, barbarian returning from previous games

So, to speculate kind of wildly, we have two current camp followers who aren't implemented as companions:
-Volo (bard)
-Halsin (druid)

We have no reason to believe either of them was on the illithid ship, but we do know that both of them were in the goblin camp. Who says the goblins couldn't have put tadpoles in them then?

Which would leave us with companions of every PHB class except ranger and sorcerer.

Of freaking course there's no representation of my two favorite classes. LOLOLOL
