I AM TEH OHPEE.

You know, I never saw it that way, but I think it's a great way to take it. I don't know, it's just that DA had a lot of awesome potential misguided. Some part of me still wishes that the pawns were awesome as they could be. But you're probably right. In the end, it's about the player getting through the game, and probably too awesome allies would feel like cheating anyway, I guess.

But yeah, if you're gonna have AI support as a base of your game, and allow the player to customize their appearance too, maybe you'd want to make that support desireable. You know, cause for the most part good players will just solo then have their tag along back to catch up, throw him into the sea, rinse and repeat for ever. Cause it's really the most effective way to play. Solo, optional weal and bam. Level infinite, around 50 hours in.

You weren't an ass, you just basically said I suck ¬_¬

Dude, did you really have a Sorc cancel out Seism on a knocked down Daimon? I've had mine cancel Bollide to run in panic from a Zombie at the white Hydra place, but I think you win.

To be fair, I've also had stories of awesome with my pawns, but most of them are few and far in between, and that just kinda makes it feel like they were flukes. And it's a mechanic that I felt I could have loved, but merely meh-liked for the most part. The actually competent customizeable NPC support, I mean.
