Tell Us Dammit

Dammit, we want you to tell us stuff! Stuff like who you like to party with.

This isn’t some marketing survey or whatever. It’s an emotional investment in you. Yes, we’re interesting in knowing you, Kotaku reader person. You probably know enough about us — more than you even want to, we’re sure. But, hey, we’d like to know about you, too.

Anyway, here’s today’s question…

They’re in almost every RPG, those mostly faithful (but sometimes treacherous!) companions who join you on your quest to save the world. Yes, we’re talking about RPG party members. Who’s your favourite?

Me? I’d be hard pressed to separate the eccentric cast of characters who can join with you in Planescape: Torment. The talking skull, the tortured slave, the pyromaniac mage, the Scottish fiend, the chaste prostitute, the rogue automaton and the ultimate disembodiment of justice; conversing with each throughout the game lets you unravel their multi-layered personal histories, the themes of which resonate with your own search for identity. But I’d say Dak’kon, if I were forced to choose just one. His story just breaks my heart.
