I’m not fond of some of the classes or play as one myself and want else on companions, but I try to keep them lore friendly.
- Shadowhear I first made a monk, on 2nd playthrough first a paladin, but changed her to a Fighter eventually and I love the positive battle impact.
- Halsin I changed to a Bear Heart Barbarian. I’m not fond of Druids in fights, not sure why.
- Wyll I always respec, also not fond of Warlocs. He usually ends up a paladin, but I also usually don’t bring him along.
- Karlach I made a ranger.
- Astarion also a ranger.
- Gale I keep a wizard, because I cannot find any lore friendly class other than a wizard and also tbh I don’t mind wizards at all.
- Made Lae’Zel a Vlakith cleric.
- I’d respect Jaheira, but I cannot bear the fake sounding accent, so I don’t bring her anywhere.
Can’t you just have everyone talk to Alfira for musical instrument proficiency? They won’t have performance proficiency but at least they can play instruments. Mostly.
Without the performance they constantly fail.
It’s like 50/50 for me if they fail when they don’t have performance. But if you’re that set on it you can take the actor feat which gives performance proficiency.
Yeah I might do that instead. It’s not like I’m committed to a whole playthrough, but 50% failure rate is high when I’m trying to get 4 good performances at once.
