Long story short: Berwyn's writer left due to mental health issues, and later had a toxic falling out with the rest of the staff.i haven't really cared keep up much with the constant drama that is going on between the writing team or whatever, but can someone give me a breakdown on why this Berwyn "Update" came to be?
Bullshit gimmick dungeon and terrible quest ending choice aside they actually kind of give me what I wanted in the end and that's an actual relationship dynamic with Berry, instead of him just hating having sex with a male player character. I however don't know why the reason for removing him from the party and tying him into the camp system a system that I never use because i play a white mage, have Cait in my party 24/7 and always have a way stone activated in every area. Why not just have his quest item just you teleport you to him at any time like Kiyoko's amulet.
I guess keeping him to one place would make writing scenes for him easier considering the body changes and all, but fuckin Berry was the one male companion i had and kept taking on my team now I only got Brint who's practically been replaced by Brienne and godamn Quintillus, I DONT FUCKIN LIKE QUIN, who even uses Quin? If there was any fuckin character that could use a update that removes them from the party it'd be Quintillus.
Rather than burden one of the permanent writers with a second companion, Berwyn was downgraded from a companion to a NPC.
Brint and Brienne are both kept updated by their author.
Quintillus is getting expanded soon; his author managed to get enough free time to write more of him and other projects.
And a companion won't be reminded ved because you don't like him. Ignore him, sent him away to die or just leave him in the bar and don't recruit him.
