Pathfinder: WotR - Base Party Member Rankings 

This video has been updated with a ranking that goes through all 23 potential party members in the game: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FLDhhlSSKFM.html

I love Daeran because he tries so much to be edgy but you got Camilla and Wendaug in the same room doing some real psycho shit so he just looks like a spoiled child trying to get attention rsrs

I definitely have one of the more unpopular opinions, but greybor has to be my favorite companion. For the sole reason that his character is what a dad who has never played an rpg before but his kid convinced him to try it out would make. He just sounds like a dude working a 9-5 waiting to retire so he can read historical nonfiction novels

Dude!! Ember's random "We can only rely on ourselves the God's have abandoned us ... what was I saying again? Let's play" chills me every time.

Regill is everything to me! He never leaves my party. He's the sole reason my character is a hellknight. He's my inspiration in what my character does. He's the reason my character is a devil. He's my everything! Oh yeah there's some other characters in the game too apparently.

It's good how people's taste is so different regarding companions in this game. It's the best indicator on how well fleshed out and diverse they all are.

For me... Most useful character in combat: Daeran. Most Endearing Character: Ember. Character with the best romance: Wenduag. Cutest Character: Aizu. Funniest Character: Nenio. Character we love to hate: Camelia. Character with the best background: Regill. Thank you for your very exhaustive list. :)

Lann is so derpy but he owns it. I can't speak for his romance arc but he's got a strong identity overall and I wouldn't mind seeing him get hooked up.

I wish Trever had more development for himself and, by extension, Sosiel. He is clearly broken traumatised by his experiences and it would be great to help Sosiel rehabilitate him because I felt like I was dragging along a PTSD victim into more fights that he really shouldn't be in anymore. Totally agree 100% with Daeran, his quest seemed so interesting and mysterious then after the pivotal moment I was like... 'that's it'?

My favorite companion I think is it is selah, I love the idea that a paladin can be a funny bro person that has a ton of personality a morally grey life and still be the champion of the people

A couple of months ago I asked you about a companion ranked video, and it did not disappoint. Fantastic video, easily the best companion video. Thanks!

Your content is amazing bro, absolutely love this video. Any time I'm starting to feel burnt out I just need to tune into your channel and I'm pumped to boot WotR up and get my adventure on :D Thank you!

Greybor, Regil, and Lan have so many good conversations. They act like a small unit or family when they are together.

Ember! She's just wholesome, I have a hard time not including her in every single party I run. Even when I did my Demon run, I kept her in the party throughout.

17:13 Wenduag: "You have the blood of a demon in you. A powerful demon too since you're skilled in magic. You can share some of your power with me. I will get the demon seed and you'll get a good time." Woljif: "Uh... You're alright, love. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm actually celibate me. Took a vow of chastity. I'd show you my chastity belt but, well... wouldn't wanna tempt ya."

Wenduag was probably surpassed my expectations the most of all the NPCs. Her character was significantly more interesting than anticipated.

Thanks for your great videos, love your style, always smiling and happy, explaining things real well, and it's great fun to listen to you

Spoiler for Nenio's quest: The moment she won my heart was when after beating her dungeon, she said my (the commandar's) name, and then later on, when you bring it up, she gives a cheeky reply of "not remembering it". Such a shame we couldn't romance her.

At first I didn't particularly like Camellia's voice either but it's grown on me since I don't *think* she should have any hint (other than what you do sometimes get) of being some sort of psycho or malevolent force. Her sort of normal down-to-earth, almost nondescript but haughty tone is perfect for her character.

I like Regill as well. I like that he is big L lawful and little E evil. He follows the hell knight code strictly as the code will allow and in the straightest shortest line possible regardless what he has to go through or who he has to kill.

Seelah seems more romanceable than the previous icon character from Kingmaker - Amiri. However, I think that is the reason she isn't an option because fans asked about Amiri in Kingmaker and both Paizo and Owlcat pointed fingers at each other for why she wasn't an option. It could be both don't want to make icon characters romanceable, but don't want to take the blame.

I love Daeran, his romance is so sweet and lovely. I’ve legit been seduced by a bloody character in a video game, it ain’t fair XD

really excellent video. Very well done.

I've seen similar trends with what you said about Seelah, but in her specific case I really think it's because Owlcat doesn't allow for romancing pivotal Pathfinder characters. If you look at Kingmaker, the Barbarian Amri was a pivotal character from the tabletop books. She wasn't a romance option. It's the same with Seelah, she's from the tabletop game as well.

My personal take on the companions: - Camellia: Original personality, albeit extremely demented. - Regill: Pure comedy this one :) - Ember: Almost generic, but she has a lot of redeeming qualities. - Sosiel: He felt boring to me. - Woljif: Excellent voice acting, but too generic companion overall. Almost everything about him was cliche. - Seelah: Excellent implementation of otherwise boring hero architype. Adds flavour to the cliche paladin. - Lann: Intersting story about struggle with destiny. - Wenduag: Generic powerhungry fool. - Daeran: You will either hate him or love him. - Nenio: Wierd and funny. I liked her a lot :) - Greybor: Interesting dichotomy between pragmatism and practicality. I liked him a lot. - Arueshalae: Extremely original character. Fall from grace from Planescape Torment was the only character close to Arue that I have seen. And I have played a lot of cRPG-s. I liked her a lot :)

Woljif is my fav with how hes tied to you and how you influence him; it makes him the best companion IMO

What you talking about? Camellia has the best voice actor of the bunch. Her battle cries and ambient dialogue are meme gold. She plays the spoiled, snobby rich girl so well that if you're not paying attention to what's going on around her, it's very easy to write her off and not notice the intentional ambiguity in her line delivery. And then when the Big Twist comes, she's positively chilling.

New to your channel loving the WotR content, you are a real nerd's nerd and I mean that in the best way possible

In Germany we says, Kuss auf die Nuss. In english it will be worked too xD Your channel (and you) is absolutly Amazing. So lovely telling how this world works, so incredible exploration of every single spell. Holy cow its perfect! Thank you!

Ember telling me I'm a good person, she likes me, will always make me smile.

Sosiel becomes very very strong due to his access to domains. Every mythic rank you go for impossible domains =) A tip is to get animal domain and get a dog or whatever animal you want early, awesome!

The point of Lann is, that he hides behind his humor, while in constant struggle with the fact, that he will soon die and overall is what he is: this mongrel half fiend monster, left by his mother, who after him wasn't able to even bear a single child alive anymore, his dad already dead, with a quick decay in his last years and all this doesn't really make him the confident that there would be any woman ever to see something in him. So while our artistocrat is the one who is coming for you and that pretty aggressively, Lann is the exact opposite of that.

The only reason Seelah is unavailable as a romantic partner is her iconic status to Pathfinder universe and Paizo in general. The same was for Amiri in Kingmaker. Shame though.😍

@29:00 Actually, Daeran can take an animal companion as well as long as you take an additional Mystery: Nature with your Mythic ability for him. That opens up the revelation for an animal companion ("Bonded Mount"). At 7th level, I was able to take a Wolf since it becomes large at that time. It levels up all the way to Daeran's level. Great video, you're an insightful reviewer. Cheers

I would love to see a "Bonnie and Clyde" relationship arc with evil Arueshalae where the two of you just revel in mayhem together.

Ember is actually older than most of the members of your party. She played with Woljif when he was a child (he grew up and threw rocks at her and laughed). For an elf she's a "child" but she's a lot older than she looks. Love your takes on the characters, though.

You are right about Soseil's quest ending. The fact that you need to make such specific dialogue choices so far ahead of when the outcome takes place, and that its so unintuitive, is really annoying. I dont really see why picking the most optimistic choices about his brother, particularly in light of the 2 people you speak 2 at the lost chapel singing his praises, would prevent the option to recruit Trever.

My first actual laugh out loud moment came when Daeran is given the “honor” of not being able to flee the crusade. I’m in act 3 on my first play through, but that alone has me loving the queen as a character already. That was some A++ passive aggressive behavior.

Damn the strong black women who you can´t romance is actually a thing! Pallegina from Pillars of Eternity also fit the category

"If you corrupt Arueshalae you can't romance her that's wack" No, it isn't. Because then she's not romantic at all. She's reverted to a succubus. You'd be more likely to be able to romance Regill than a corrupted Arueshalae, fullstop. Corrupting her kills that side of her. Period. You don't get to have your cake and eat it too. Nenio would be more romantic than a corrupted Arue (hint: Nenio isn't romantic at all, it's something she would instantly forget as totally unimportant). Arue will do with you what she does - sex at every opportunity. But it's unromantic. It highlights that this kind of "making love" ultimately isn't. Just go to the Ten Thousand Delights and see if any of them are any different. If she *was* romancable as a corrupted succubus it would make everything that is revealed earlier an utter lie. Sorry you don't like this fact but it is what it is, your character will just have to enjoy the rather empty physicality and leave it at that lol.

Definitely love my Baby Sosiel, i romance him EVERY time I make a male character 😂. I enjoy his quest line and his character as a whole. But my close second is Daeran, He never could fool me with his attitude, I knew he was soft and kind deep down and the few moments he show some vulnerability (especially at the lost chapel) I just can’t help but melt.

May I ask what weapon you have on your ember in this video? Also: Team Ember all the way, though my #1 is Woljif.

May I ask what weapon you have on your ember in this video?

Daeran has to be one of the best healers ever made in gaming. A spoiled rich weirdo who, quite literally, became a healer cause his parties were so crazy that people were getting hurt. Come on, it cannot get better than that.

Overall what I can definitely say is that in WotR, compared to kingmaker, most of the companions are at least reasonably stated so even on hard(what I am playing on) you can rely on them doing their job and not having to rely on mercs to fill in the gap. Plus they really put more emphasis on them having dialogue during the main story, so that's another big plus. Whereas in Kingmaker I had to struggle to find 5 official companions to pull me through hard, here I feel like I am spoiled for choices and get to change my team up every mission. Plus the characters are so much more interesting to boot. The only complain I have is that for some reason Owlcat has 3 different characters be dual wielding by default and if you try to spec into anything else they have a bunch of feats that are wasted I really hope in the next game they give each character a unique skill/feat/mythic feat(if they keep that system) so there is an actual reason for you to use these characters other than story, so far I haven't had anything game changing (I mean Arue has really high stat spread since she's a demon, but that isn't particularly exciting)

Good job man. I agree with most stuff. I will say Greybor can get decently survivable if you build him out for shield bashing.

Camellia is my favorite character. She’s a fantastic front line fighter as a spirit hunter or as a rogue/slayer/fighter type and she really makes a perfect dpr character. Honestly I love taking her through about level 12 or so as a master of all rogue to make her a skill monkey dpr, and then swap her back to shaman wants she gets level 6 spells where her spell list isn’t garbage anymore. Romance is dogshit but fun. Her voice actor is a little off but I think it’s intentional.

Greybor is my favorite because we used to chill out with the crew in the school yard.

My favorites were Seehla, Lann, Woljiff and Sosiel (liked both quests and mechanics). Honorable mentions to Daeran and Nenio who made me laugh quite a bit. Ember is quite usefull with her hexes in combat. My least favorites were Camellia (I had to kill her), Wenduag (so stupid) and Regill (quite annoying).

Why do you have a horse as a companion ? Does that horse take up a party slot ? I only have kingmaker, so I donno how you got a horse in there.

Seelah like Amiri is an iconic character, which basically means she is based on source material, not an invention of Owlcat, so I think this limits what they are allowed to do with her character arc pretty significantly. Amiri was also unromanceable. As an aside, I am pretty sure Mazzy wasnt black, she is blue eyed, much paler skin than Valygar, and all the women in BG2 other than Viconia had braids, but if you just look at her hair, its not afro texture. Also, I am not sure if drow count, but Viconia was literally black and a romanceable option. Granted, her features were more typical of a white woman (I think she was based on an actual photo of a model).

Lann surprised me with how much I liked him as I only remebered him being a minor npc in the module. He has a good sense of humor, an interesting outlook on life (wanted to do the right thing but could be just as pragmatic as Regill), and you sympathized with his goal (wanted to do good for his people with what little time he had left). He was definitely my first romance option. Daeran spoiled brat attitude could get grating (I'll give the VA credit for making him sound like the stereotypical rich teen) but he could be funny (especially with Nenio and Wolgif) and the vulnerability he shows when you romance him is really touching. Seelah, I will admit was a surprise, especially since I read her bio for PF iconics. I definitely enjoyed her character. Kudos to the VA as ell Regill, maybe because Hellknight is one of my favorite PCs in general, but I was already bias to this little gnome when he was first announced. I've always enjoyed pragmatic characters if done right. Wolgif...might be in the minority but he was an eeeeh...for me. As with earlier, he can have funny dialogue but the constant need to seem like he had it the hardest and incapable of thinking anyone from any background could have problems (Camilla having an abusive mother? Doesn't matter because she was rich!). Really bugged me. This especially bugged me when. Spoiler alert: One ending has it so he can be born human, have a normal life, and still grows up into a thief. So the whole "I've had it so hard because I'm a tiefling" thing really looses it lustsr. Aru: Love her, glad the game didn't disappoint with her. Enough said. Sosiel: A bit boring yes, but I gave him points for managing to tell Wolgif to shut up in what I call the neutral good wau 😄 Nenio: Currently running WoTR and was running it before the game came out. Literally had an NPC similar to her. Her name was Neela, a tiefling magus who wanted to document the Worldwound and enjoyed samples from different kinds of demons. One of my players and I laughed at the similarities.

Camellia is one of my favourite characters personality wise and mechanically. Great tank, dps and decent support caster/healer (particularly as a trickster with completely normal spell and the improved crit line). Her personality being unchanging is fine imo. She is a psychopath, and a redemption arc wouldnt fit at all (she was clearly born with her killer impulses from conversations with her). I think her voice is a good fit to be honest, superficially sweet and cool (with the only real emotion showing with lines like "the world in crimson") is in keeping with psychopath maintaining a façade.

My party selection is usually along the lines of Seelah/Camilla, Wenduag/Arueshalae, Ember/Daeran/Lann (Zen Archer 3/Crusader Cleric rest), Greybor/Regill. Which one I bring depends on the class I play myself and alignment. Ember and Daeran can be either healer oriented or extreme blaster. I never take Sosiel or Woljif (or Trevor lmao), though, I just can't make them work on Core and above. The new guy Ulbrig is extremely strong and probably replaces Greybor/Regill unless I make Wenduag a Child of the Manticore Shifter. Edit: Completely forgot about Nenio, I hate her quest, so I don't take her.

Regill reminds me a lot of Canderous Ordo from Knights of the Republic which is why I loved him so much.

I like to give Camelia some levels in Duelist, and give her Int headbands, and leave her spellcasting lower, since, like you said, she doesn't have a lot of spellcasting potential. My experience with that is that she makes a fantastic Duelist as a front-line damage dealer. She might be better as melee damage than Woljif to be honest

Haven't picked the game up since just after getting Regill. But I like him already. He reminds me of Harrim in how persuasively he draws you into his way of thinking from his backstory (or at least your attempt to get one out of Regill) while the game's alignment compass wants you to think he's just plain twisted. "Especially when you figure out more of what's going on with her but other team members still haven't caught on." I trust my allies and will not be casting alignment attack spells on them; Camelia's secret's safe with me! Nenio? I'll admit I haven't tired yet at how many different original ways she has of saying, "This is irrelevant." So much for having her break tie votes. I'm afraid Nenio's jarring initial put down of Daeran's age killed any respect I might have of him (never mind how often she calls the main the same thing). I really like Seelah. She fills the iconic Pathfinder character shoes much better than Amiri did. "These grey characters that are... all right with you if you do good things..." Oh, no, Woljif's a Karen. Just play true to Lawful Good.

From a purely mechanical standpoint, Sosiel can be a beast after some mythic impossible domains. I thought he was a throwaway companion initially, but once I started messing around, he's the only healer/buffer I need.

Dareran is chaotic neutral cosplaying as neutral evil there I said it

Can´t believe so many ppl hate Nenio, she is gold. :D

There’s a lot of missed opportunities with Regill for sure. Why the Hellknight prestige class isn’t locked behind something involving him, and maybe even the arminger fighter archetype doesn’t actually involve the Hellknights at all, is disappointing. Also when Mepho shows up to participate in the crusade, you’d really think there would be some kind of interactions there. Nope. Both completely ignore each other, sitting 5 feet apart in the command room.

I also lament the possible romance option for Seelah. She is just too awesome!!

I thought the same about Woljif! The only reason for me to play female main characters is to check out the romances, to learn more about the party members I like. Woljif should, at the very least, be romanceable by female tieflings (he does show interest for that tiefling mentioned in his first companion quest), in the same vein that there are some race specific romances in dragon age for example.

If you had to choose between romancing Aru or Wenduag, which had the most satisfying conclusion for you?

YES, i was crushed on my demon playthrough when Arushalae doesnt really have an evil romance, but at least my character was able to become nocticula consort lol

Romance gives characters buff to stats?

Agree on the ending of Daeran’s questline, but disagree on his personality never changing. I feel like that’s slightly locked behind his romance though, similar to Wenduag, and his is much more subtle. My favorite character has got to be Ember. She just adds so much to the game, giving everything and everyone around her a depth you wouldn’t see if she wasn’t in your party. It’s like rolling with a mini Aeon/GD. Least fave is Cam lol. If she’s a foil to Wenduag, I find Wendu to be leagues more compelling of a character. Also, I get that Owlcat wanted to give us hints as to Cam’s personality, but it felt more like I was being beat over the head with it. I just wish there was a little more...mystery.

I love Camilias voice. My heart flutters whenever she speaks 😍

My favorite character is daeren he’s just a good character through and through for me and he never leaves my party, his romance is cool too

So what Nenio saying saying at first encounter with the demon lord?

I almost always bring Seelah. Pallies are always useful, especially when fighting demons. Give her that immune to fire cape and she can stand and fight forever. Lann is super useful. You get him early and can customize him, and unlike Wenduag, he's not a traitorous monster. But if you bring Wendy instead, she's a Lann swap. However, Wendy is much more interesting as a character, and has great lines in the game. I love her "crit" and "kill" proclamations. She's evil and traitorous and very stupid, but she is well written. Woljiff disappears and I never see him again afterwards. Maybe because it's so easy to not ever see him again is why he's not romancable. Sosiel annoys me, as does Daeran. I prefer Daeran over Sosiel, but I tend to just make a healbot. As a healer Daeran is better than Sosiel. Greybor is bland, but he unlocks Hedge Knights, one of the two actually good offense units for the crusade. Ember and Nenio annoy me to no end, though both are quite useful, Ember is especially a wrecking machine. Regill is a boss. He has great character, perhaps the best VA, great lines. He's set up as a DPS build, but you get him early enough to make him a tank instead. But his companion story is basically non-existent, and he never changes or grows. Aru actually annoys me. Sometimes she has these great mature person lines, and other times she's just a super cringe zoomer demanding affirmation. However, Aru, the Hand of the Inheritor, and the MC are three characters that embody a main theme of the game: the theme of changing one's essence, the idea of can a person change the soul of who they are by changing their entire perspective and value systems. This is why I tend to like her; I see has as a central figure in the largest theme of the main story. Like you said, she's a latecomer and you already have at least one archer (Lann/Wendy and maybe the MC). I don't mention the romances because I find romances in CRPGs to be, well, absolutely terrible.

From mechanics, Arue, Daeran, Wenduag/Lann and Ember are the best for me. Personality wise Daeran, Nenio and Regill are great. Regill giving Sosiel the 3rd degree every turn was brutal.

Regill or greybor are both my favourites, I can easily understand why people dont like greybor though, Considering the sort of transformation he goes through in the last two acts.

It’s not so much that Daeran doesn’t have a character arch, as that it’s mostly hidden behind his romance. His true love path to be precise. It kind of makes sense considering it would be that rare circumstance where he would allow someone to get close enough to make an impact. The problem, as you pointed out, is his final quest that probably got rushed in the end, like many other things…It had this incredible build up through out the game just to fall completely flat in the last chapter. Regill is my second favorite. Followed closely by Ember and Woljif. I like Camellia’s story but I absolutely hate her spoiled princess attitude. Her constant whining and nagging is the reason why she’s never in my party.

Greybor certainly isnt a tank, but is comfortably the easiest character to build and play for very high damage. You can more mileage out of other NPCs, but generally you will need to either micromanage them more, or be inventive with your build. Regarding his squishiness, sending in a tank first and using enlarge person/legendary proportions to boost his reach actually works pretty well at stopping enemies from targeting him.

Love them SO much: Lan or Wendu (depending) Sosiel Daeren Greybor Woljif Regill Arue Seelah People I bench ASAP: Cam Ember Nenio

Wenduag chads rising up

Regil is a great Character, both rp and dialoge wise, but also a good combatant with some tweaks

My ranking is pretty close. 1. Nenio 100% she is a mix of my adhd brain and scientific out look. Hilarious at every moment and incredibly powerful. I love how the story can be in the middle of the most serious moments and she just says something left field making me laugh. Also if you never seen it you should talk to her while she’s in the nexus and wants to do the experiment on how to be a better friend. 2. Camilla I like the idea of crazy that you can’t change because it throws in the air the trope of the female romance you can “fix”. Her quest feels less about her arc and more about yours. What is your characters limit what will they accept for live or power. She also makes a good evil cleric or summoner if you don’t like Melee. Camilla’s voice fits for me for one reason, I think she’s a sociopath she doesn’t have any true emotions like most other people have. She sorta fakes how she’s meant to feel and talk while only ever feeling anything when she kills and even then that’s fleeting and never fulfills her. 3. Seelah ok romance. I get your con but it was never gonna happen. Just like kingmaker romance with the iconic hero’s was a hard no from Pazio and a requirement for them to even have the right to make a pathfinder game. what sucks is with all the backstory they come with they generally come off as top of the line party members. Also love paladins that aren’t the lawful stupid trope. She would of made a good romance 4. Ember. She’s an adult but I get where your coming from it’s hard to not see her as a child the way she looks and acts. I love the whole way she talks. Saying what she thinks and feels regardless if it’s to a farmer or a demon lord. She sums up the idea of an atheist in a world where the gods can come down for a visit. 5. Arue. Ya she’s a trope and her story kinda was dictated by the pen and paper adventure but I just love everything about it. Romance I didn’t care about the evil issue I am way to much a lore junkie and I feel as die hard as their base is they would of had issues if they had broken lore even if it was a good reason. 6/7 Wendy and lann are tied. They both make me have to think hard decide who I want. There versatility is the main draw for me (Btw lann makes a great primal Druid if you want another pet). I would say Wendy’s story quest is better but I wonder if lanns was on purpose. Like his romance and quest is so bland and normal cause that’s what he wants in life. Remember his dream is mostly to go on a boat so it makes some sense he doesn’t have some grand aspirations or epic quest. The rest I barely use. I never liked regills class or attitude but maybe when o go devil and make him a full part of the team I’ll change my mind. Greybors good but just struck me as cookie cutter assassin doing it for the money. Never felt he grew out of that and his quest was the same. Wish we had delved more into his backstory in his quest rather then his future job prospects. The brothers. I have a guide to get both for the angel I’m playing now so it may change my mind but both seem just boring. Worse part is clerics are important and it makes me glad that Camilla, ember, or Daren can easily fill the gap so you aren’t forced like kingmaker. I never use Daren no reason why just haven’t gotten around to it. Also major mistake in not giving the undead more to say. Watching your play thru i see so many areas I wish they just had more to say feels like a missed opportunity to make the lich even more epic than it already is. I don’t say much about power because most anyone can be molded into something op even for unfair and personally I hate the “everyone’s level 1 when you find them” trope. The idea that they have some training or expertise in life and you can’t change that makes them so much more real to me.

I like to choose my party at random whenever I leave a settlement. Every time Nenio or Daeran don't get the roll of the dice I have to resist the urge to kick someone out and take them anyways.

I think that not being able to romance arueshalae if you corrupt her is kinda the point of her entire character arc, I understand the frustration and the desire to try a different kind of romance but I think that it's better the way it is now

Ember is my favorite by far. I don't know how many times she has said exactly what I was thinking. I also really like Nenio, whom I find hilarious (I realize that a lot of people find her annoying though).

Legit question, how many months have to go by before you have to stop “spoiling” things?

Regill's biggest flaw to me? oh yeah we have this fantastic character but let's be quirky and make him a gnome. I get why they did it but when I recruited him I was like "ugh. Not again". He'd have been perfect as a human, half orc or medium-sized race.

I had an Aldori Swordlord and normally went with Seelah, Lann, Sosiel, Arueshalae and Nenio.

I keep hearing that Wenduag is written well but her actions don't make sense near the end of her questline given her thirst for power and what she has witnessed you accomplish. It really irks me since I like her a lot as a character.

I don't know if this is the reason WHY Seelah is not romanceable. But in the Pathfinder Comics, Seelah is in a committed relationship with the female Cleric of Saranrae, her name slips my mind, Kemintiri or something. I totally get why they don't actually reference it. Their relationship is very similar to Irabeth and Anevia's.

Seelah and Camellia are irreplaceable for me. I always have them. Ember’s spell list is limited but has a lot of really decent spells on her. Daeran is much better healer and I don’t mind anything about his build. Usually that gives me about 1 position to play with but it’s basically gonna go to an archer type. Aru or Wendy like always. Lamb if I have to

I love Camellia, because I relate to her so much!

Spot on with Regill. Well portrayed character at the outset with no progression at all.

This is just my opinion, but my favorite waifu is Aru, ember is my adopted daughter unless I'm swarm, Nenio is my favourite kook, and Regil is the straight man to hold it all together.

In my mind I rate party members not from my point of view, but also from my MC point of view, and as I am now on Demon path, Arue and Camellia are my favorite duo. Theirs banters are so hilarious - Camellia is in company with two demons and no matter how crazy she knows she is, she also realises that she is no match for me or Arue. Like: C: "Do you really think all the men around you will be yours just because you start speaking in that breathy voice? I see nothing alluring in it" A: "Come with me somewhere private and I will show you something alluring!" or C: "I am glad I no longer need to spare your tender feelings! Perhaps we can be frineds now." A: "Why, of course, Cami... Wait, let us seal our friendship with a sisterly kiss!" Love them very much (: As for romance with evil Arue - I can't say that the is no romance with her. Yes, one would say that there is nothing "romantic" in such relationship and you have no quest to "conquer her feelings", and yes, I would like to have an option to send some stupid Deskari cultists to kill her so she could have some fun, but on the other hand, she knows that I am the most powerful demon in her reach that can fully satisfy her, she is with me, in my castle, and not somewhere else, we have fun banging each other and tortuing/killing other beings, maybe it's not that romatic, but if it is not a working demonic relationship - I don't know what is.

Regarding Seelah's lack of Romance. That's more on Paizo than OwlCat. She's an "Iconic" character that's part of the Pathfinder universe. So they were limited with what they could do with her. Same reason Amiri had no Romance in Kingmaker. She's an "Iconic" character

My favourite ones are: Delamere, Wenduag and Regil (he is just always right). While i cannot stand: Seelah, Nenio and Sosiel.

The roster is so amazing some ppl could inverse your list put theyr arguments and I would be ok with it

Ember! trust in yourself

Ember is just a wrecking ball, specially late game with rod empowered touch spells. You beat bosses in 1 round on core.

daeran is literally the only staple i keep, if hes not healing hes buffing. he also isn't pissy about any choices i make like nenio. so i rank him 1 aru is a close second because of her skill coverage and tireless story.

I'm shocked how different your opinions are on the party members. My own rankings would almost be a complete flip of yours.

Story and personality wise for me it's Daeran and Arue no contest. Mechanically it's probably Ember.
