Favourite characters:
+ Amily. As said before, she is a self-sufficient, likeable character that "treats sex with dignity" (Love this utterance) and seems well written in general. I do feel sad that she was left a bit unfinished, as she alludes to possible interactions that were never implemented. Would love to see more of her, especialy in inter-follower sex scenes (Turning her into a lesbian was a hobby of mine in most playthroughs). Shame. Still, she's my number one in the game.
+ Jojo. This guy. seemingly a minor character, got a very nice character upgrade some time into developement that made him very, very likeable. Also, he was the first male follower, so bonus points for that. I fell in love with Jojo once the Revamp mod added sex scenes for him - Unfortunetly, their quality is subpar, but still, the mix of personality and possible romance just *clicked*, especialy as a gay follower for one of my male PCs. I understand it was never the author's intention, but I really regret he never got a sex follower/romance treatment in the base game.
+ Arian. He's just cute, possibly gay (a rarity), with a nice personality and a good questline. Shame he never got properly finished... But I guess I should stop writing this by now.
+ Helia/Izma. They both seemed somewhat simillar, so I kinda' treated them as interchangeable, but they were very likeable, well-rounded characters that, despite strong personalities, never got really obnoxious or annoying. Again, badly unfinished (This was the last one, I swear).
+ Urta. Once you made her less of an alcoholic, she became surprisingly likeable. I also loved the amount of content for her, plus her interactions with other followers.
+ Ember. Yeah, I know this one is a love/hate persona, but I really liked to keep him (he was a male in most of my playthroughs) around. Plus, some of his m/m sex scenes were nicely written.
Least favourite:
- Tamani. She was just obnoxious and annoying unless you "romanced her". Then, she would became tolerable at best.
- Sand Trap. Oh boy, was I ever annoyed by this one. Probably because the fight seemed tiresome if you didn't want to fight it - And later into the game, I was not really into fighting everything that came at me, and I simply tried to run away from most fights that I couldn't win with one or two hits.
- Isabella. Bonus points for the Helia threesome scene, but as a character, she just felt annoying. If Marble was annoying because of *a number of things here* and being bland, this one kept all of those bad things intact and replaced "bland" with "obnoxious". Her accent, her behaviour, her behaviour towards the PC, I just hated her most of the time. There were moments when she seemed likable, but few and far between.
- Ro'gar. This one is extremely subjective. The first "gay" character in the game, so yay, but incorporating every single gay trope that I dislike, so a huge nay. His accent, butchy behaviour and looks all just screamed "No!" for me.
- Venus. Ugh. Constant bumping into her was annoying, the amount of content she got was simply underwhelming for how frequently I would run into her, she was miles off from my fetish prefferences (This one's extremely subjective), and got a sudden bad end that really came out of nowhere.

+/- Marble. I'm on a fence with her. Sure, she is pretty bland (and when she's not, she's got an irritating personality), her interactions limited, questline irritating, and, by now, she seems to have one scene missing (I wasn't able to trigger it since years), but still, being the first follower introduced and all, I kinda' like her, despite everything that's wrong. It's not that she is a "good" character or a favourite of mine, but, despite everything that's wrong, I don't really feel good about putting her on the "least favourite" list. However, I also think I should do that. So, yeah, a strongly mixed bag.
