Or will another mage companion be added to the game in the future
Atomos":1bslc400 said:If Amarisa becomes available as a companion, then either lore, or balance goes to hell. That's because she's Muud'ari, and she would have as much trait, and skill points as main character has excluding tomes, and etc.
Balance will be ruined if she does have that many points, lore will be ruined if she doesn't , that's what I meant.Comrey":2j5gabxv said:Eh, I wouldn't go as far and say that lore would "go to hell" if she'd have as many trait points as a regular companion.
That guy is a vassal, a regular human who works for them .Comrey":2j5gabxv said:Sure, she's Muud'ari. So is that one level 11 Forsaken dude who tries to ambush you on the road
She's a mage type character, and 800 HP she has when you assassinate her makes her pretty formidable, and a lot stronger than Bandit King. Check the wiki, or try going for evil ending.Comrey":2j5gabxv said:Lady Calenda is a Muud'ari and she's only marginally stronger than say, the Bandit King, while being 4 levels higher.
Warriors can use his chestplate, as well as the rest of Thuramiam armor pieces. Check again .Comrey":2j5gabxv said:Valeran could be a more worthy pick, being 3 levels higher and about same strength, but at least he has twice the HP. Then again, he also is classified as a "boss" and not a "miniboss" which will explain the increased HP. Oh, he's also clearly a warrior given how he has Bash and Resilience, yet he drops a chestplate that only mages and clerics can wear...

You should have checked in the Grey Library. These guys don't get drunk with Friguld rum, so they are more credible imo ;xComrey":3du5jy4f said:You're right again. When checking the wiki I just glanced at the image which said "Cleric and Mage". I never actually wore it myself.
Well, and we're approaching slowly, but steadily at the age old issue of RPGs in which protagonist is created by the player. It will be more relevant in EK2, mark my words . Series of games develop "canon", and debate over matters such as: specific ancestry, abilities, and physicality of main character can go on endlessly until developer clearly states how this matter looks.Comrey":3du5jy4f said:It's not a stretch to assume that a weak/untalented Muud'ari could be as strong or even weaker than a talented human. Case in point, my character's a Warrior with no shred of magical ability, while his sister is a mage. They're different in power and potential.
Just like clever writing made the Muud'ari more powerful than humans (e.g. what the Oracle and what Tremadan's Image say, very late in the game), clever writing could be used to explain why Amarisa is "only" as strong a a typical companion. There's no lore ruined here.
It's only an issue if you make it so. And frankly, it's not an issue worth making.
