[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8872444, member: 18"] I don't. I never have. I've always been vexed by him. I suspect the Matt Mercer/Larian version may be less awful though. Bloody Nenio. What is even supposed to be the point? Camellia I don't think is too bad, I mean she's just Shadowheart with a lot less random sass. But Nenio ugh. I will say this for Owlcat though, Nenio is a huge step up in writing from Jubilost. With Jubilost, he thought he was incredibly clever and was really rude to the PC, and you were literally weren't allowed to fire back. Didn't matter how high your INT, CHA, social skills etc. were, he automatically talked circles around you, and you were only allowed dunce responses. That's terrible writing. Sure he softens later on, but the damage was done. Nenio, is also rude (albeit more in a "extremely neurodiverse-but-also-a-dick" way than Jubilost's "YouTuber" vibe) and also thinks they're so much smarter than you, but this time, if you have the right skills/stats and make the right checks, you can be like "Uh-huh, Nenio, I get it". Of course they did bring in a new "highly slappable gnome" in the form of Regill, to help make up for that... [/QUOTE]
