Just got back into this the past week due to the EE version and the final DLC coming out. Damn, I forgot how much I fucking loved this game. I was sad when I decided to stop and wait for shit to get fixed, and then it was easy to just wait until all the DLCs, because there's nothing I hate more than DLC that assumes you want to play the fucking game all over again to experience it. Fortunately most of the DLC in this game wasn't like that, but I didn't completely know that at the time.
I also forgot just how mind-bottling agonizing over character builds can be! I'm fine with figuring out my character, that's easy(ish). It is all the companion characters that I just don't fucking know. I've read a bunch around the internet, but I'm still undecided. About the only thing I feel fairly confident on is that Octavia should be an Arcane Trickster. And that gay cleric dude is pretty good as-is. Other than that, fuck if I know! I just killed the Stag Lord (for about the fifth time overall I think), and while I did get further on previous playthroughs, I can't remember any other companions so I don't even know what is yet to come in that respect. Every previous time I custom built my own party, so I never even cared about the companions. Now I've decided to just go with them, respec if needed, but I want to enjoy some of the content the way they intended it instead of swapping someone in just for a quest, etc.
Anyone have some thoughts, or even links to places they felt did a good job of discussing it? Thanks!
