It is telling that, despite his name being the big selling point for PoE 1, neither of his characters turns up alive in PoE 2 and none of the fans seem particularly bothered by that fact

Grieving Mother is the fairly obvious "Ravel Puzzlewell archetype" who canonically shows up periodically in his stuff as a result of seeds of her soul being cast across the multiverse

But yeah It definitely sticks out way more when he's only a secondary or guest writer in a game The characters definitely tend to feel like invaders from the Avellone Cinematic Universe

I liked Grieving Mother well enough but you can see why Durance was... polarizing Especially since he's your party's primary healer

my commentary on big-party RPGs is that BGII's "fuck you, go away" button needs to be standard "yes just piss all the way off and then keep going, durance. i hope a lich eats you." "DID you KNOW that WOMEN--" "NOPE. BYE NOW."

maybe i'm missing something but the combat in that game is just Not Good and there is *so* much of it "alright, everyone line up behind eder and spam ranged attacks. okay, enemies dead? take five steps, check for traps--okay, everyone line up behind eder again."

One reason this game got people particularly salty about the Doomed Tutorial Character thing is one of the two doomed tutorial characters is a Rogue and you don't get an actual Rogue party member until the expansion

yeah but the skill list is so short that you can just pick a random back-liner and have them go all-in on mechanics or whatever it's called
