For those who don't understand the idea of milk in bags, you put the bag into a pitcher then cut off the corners to pour it. It uses a lot less plastic than a jug.

I'll be honest, I never played DA2. I was hesitant prior to release and after release, I couldn't bring myself to try it.

Anyways, I don't hate Inquisition as much as I have the previous times I've tried to play it. The class limitations are still garbage and it really shows that EA has no idea what an RPG is.

But the combat is clicking, despite being so much worse than DA:O.

The game is visibly gorgeous, but the map design is frustrating and the minimap is absolutely the most worthless minimap I've ever dealt with.

Just playing in the Hinterlands, I'm convinced this game might actually have more "content" than BG3. But, boy... This is just yet another game that BG3 makes look bad in retrospect. There's so many worthless collectibles and encounters, and the map is unnecessarily large, not scaled well at all.

The pacing also sucks.

That said... I'm having fun, curved standards and all

I actually found it quoted in another one of my posts lol

I'll just post what I did on the Larian forums.
For me, the lack of variety is a symptom of the larger issue being lack of overall companions in general.

The ones we have are really good and more fleshed out(by nature of the game) than almost any of the companions in the previous two games.

But the trade-off is that there's like a maybe a third of what we're used to having available to choose from.

This is a reason I would've liked to not have origin characters. All their quests are still fully present in Tav/DU's playthrough and in the case of my recent Shadowheart playthrough, I felt hers fell a little flat playing from her perspective.

In my first run with Tav, I was on the edge of my seat wondering what Shadowheart was going to do with the Nightsong, because ultimately all I could do is influence her, but it ended up being her decision to make. Also, she was able to convey how she felt about her Shar worship and how it relates to a lot of the decisions I made throughout our journey.

Whereas when I'm playing Shadowheart, I can't honestly care about Shar or Selune from a personal standpoint, where as a character she's supposed to. When it came time to make the big decision, she just silently stood there in "generic player dialogue animation" and I felt like Homer Simpson looking at a button and going "Let's see what this does!"

Much less impactful than the guilt/curiosity I felt looking from the outside in.

Anyways, long-story short, if we had more companions, we would've had more variety. But the number of companions itself is criminally low for a BG game.

I'm trying to see if I can find one of my older posts on the BG3 board about my experience with playing as origin Shadowheart.

But it largely came down to the fact that in her pivotal moment, it had a lot less meaning to me, because I can't possibly care about Shar and the related dilemma in the way that Shadowheart herself does. But when she was my companion and was an agent of her own thoughts and actions, it was more impactful because all I could do was influence her, with the choice ultimately being hers to make.

I equated playing as origin Shadowheart to Homer trying to decide whether or not to press a button.

Durge and Tav are distinct characters in-game though.

I agree that it's likely WotC will treat Durge as the canon protagonist in any future media, but you can find him as a separate entity in any given playthrough as Tav.

Because of that, there's literally nothing stopping WotC from treating them separately if they really wanted to.

As far as missing out on the story of the companions, I tend to disagree a bit there, at least with this game moreso than Divinity. Maybe you get some extra flavor text by playing as one of the origin characters, but their stories and respective questlines are still largely intact even with a custom character. What's more is that you lose out on that character's personality by playing them directly.

I remember trying to play as Fane in D:OS2 because people insisted you had to play as him, at least once. I gave it a shot, but it largely turned me off of Origin characters entirely.

And with games like these, "lack of story" is never even remotely an issue at all with a custom character. These games are supposed to be packed with massive, sprawling worlds that encourage exploration and interaction on a level that other genres simply don't provide. There's plenty of story to go around through the various questlines, side quest and main quest alike. And by giving the player a robust character creator, you're then giving them the freedom to infer and implement part of their own handmade story into that same game world. Just because the devs didn't do your character's story for you, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I like the Durge origin a lot, but I hate when people insist that it's the canon playthrough and makes Tav obsolete. The problem is that when you know enough of Durge's story, it doesn't leave enough blanks for you to fill in yourself when making a character with their own inferred backstory and such.

For Half-Drow, it's up to you, but in my experience when I played as the half-elf subrace, I didn't get any of the Drow dialogue IIRC. That's why I ended up going full-drow and customized him to look Half-Drow-ish.

In any news, I took some more pictures and found ones of my first playthrough.

And being able to change their appearance means absolutely nothing to me, because I still want treat them as different characters altogether.
