"I just wish the pawn AI wasn't so terrible so that taking them with me would give me a sense of reassurance."

Inclinations and bestiary knowledge are the components for a good pawn; there's a huge difference in effectiveness between a pawn with full bestiary knowledge and appropriate inclinations that suit its chosen vocation. That takes an investment of time.

I've just killed the online Ur Dragon again-- well, my party did, since I watched my pawns take out the last heart while I, the Arisen, was dicking around on the floor picking up the mats it had dropped from earlier hearts.

I enjoy all the myriad differences in pawns and think it would be boring and dull venturing into BBI without them. I've seen my pawn shoot Great Gamble over my shoulder as we've charged Daimon and take two full health bars off him, then recharge the same shot later in the fight and take the kill. I've seen my pawn fire a single Tenfold his position on the Gazer's stairway right into the Gazer's own Great Cannon orb-- that fired the orb and instantly killed it. That's not something I'd want to miss.

But, to each their own. If you enjoy the game without them, that's the important thing.
