Hi Grant! I'm pleased to read this with the current flood of babies whining about this game! I also think that this game is awesome, it is, tmo, clearly the best and most enjoyable ARPG playable with an offline option that we have right now and i'm having a blast playing and dreaming about my next builds / characters!

And... +1 on that point which did come to mind while playing but i forgot posting about! Indeed, Val (and other "helpers" as well) is / are OP and pretty much carry you, which saps the fun out of the game when they're around (i, in fact, don't like those phases just for that reason, i'm happy when they leave!), i would love to see them nerfed to oblivion, they should be tankier (because they're also glass canon and i go "meh" when they go like "bro, help me!") and barely scratch the mobs when it comes to their damage! ... I should have to carry them, not the other way around!

So, yeah, as far as my opinion is concerned: tanky / unkillable helpers with pussy damage = would be awesome!

I'm quite sure that the intent was to show how Val is a tough and crazy character in the story, but the story / dialogs should suffice for this and i think that we can all agree to suspend our disbelief for the sake of a more enjoyable game experience when she's around our character! (and her warcry buffs us, so, she gets plenty of love for that already!)

I love Wolcen and am so pleased to see that others enjoy it as it should be enjoyed, fantastic ARPG indeed!

Cheers from Belgium!
