You know ive thought about that before.How none of the companions you encounter after joining the crew are the EXACT same people but with just more scenes.Its weird cause i know for a fact if i try and play devils advocate in the disc server or forum the as to why this happens ill get some stupid answer like "People dont change that fast" or "Its not that big of a change so it doesnt warrant a change in their character" which in my opinion is stupid and is used as an excuse to cover up one of the many instances of inconsistent and bad writing of this game.i think it points to a bigger issue of none of the companions really changing much when they join the crew. the game isn't very dynamic at all, but i get what you mean about it seeming low effort. kinda sucks cuz i like the syri hellhound designs
Now to further add 1 complaint to this convo.The personalities option in the character creation sequence do not matter.Yes there are actions that change your personality a bit and some scenes are outright locked if your personality isnt the right one(which in most cases is stupid) but the dialogue changes is MINIMAL at best.For example,at one point in the game i need to side with 1 of 3 factions.1 of these factions are actual slave traders.Since my steeles personality is KIND in my opinion i shoudnt even be able to choose them since it goes against my whole personality as a person.Now you can have a long and meaningless discussion about morals and whatnot but the thing is that you cannot justify a KIND character siding with slave traders(Except ig if we side with them and then betray them or smt but that doesnt happen so my point stands).So not only is the personality characteristic as a whole nearly redundant it also doesnt affect what choices i can make(which in theory should but i suppose? it hurts players freedom of choice and whatnot but it remains inconsistent so im split on it).
Now tbh i havent rlly paid much attention to the writing of the game since i only played for the smut(kek) but after it either "finishes" or some interesting patch drops ill replay it and read everything with max attention just to know how bad the situation is.Cause who knows one of these days i may be bored and go play devils advocate with these fuckers about how their "story" doesnt make fucking sense
