Pretty much the title. Messing around with companions I don't normally use to keep everyone on level...and Quin...is like a lust cannon? I was messing around with his abilities and he just swept through some enemies with lust damage. Like man, I slept on him and I apologize. I still prefer Azzy and my MC for tease attacks but man Quin has gained a new level of respect from me. He even has a little transformation!

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

It feels to me like he's one of the stronger options in the Glacial Rift; many of the enemies there have very high health pools, but are pretty weak-willed. Trying to retool my party to take advantage of that and it's fun.

I did use him in the Glacial Rift before Khor'minos and its outskirts were added and I can say he was a solid option in my tease-focused team, Cultist Psions aside.

Quin is very strong in the starting forest area too. If you take the time to learn grease, you can kill every alraune related encounter in the first round. And the lack of enemies capable of oneshooting you really helps him. In the foothills, the forest with the kitsunes, and in undermountain, he usually just dies. But in the forest, harvest valley and glacier, he thrives.

I think this is the first compliment Quinn has recieved all year without a caveat. So good on you.
Wait, what? Really? I admit I havent't played the game for a while, but I remember Being always utterly dominating fights... Plus he has amazing scenes if you are wubby bottom bitch hero. Hehe....

What exactly are cpeople complaining about concerning him?

I am just going to name all the complains I can remember.
So, hmmm where to start.
He is a male companion, so already he is lacking in appeeal with general audience.
His Busts do make him seem more untrustworthy than he actually is.
You gain corruption for refusing to help him.
He can come as an overtly sleezy asshole the first time you met him. And even after that, especially if you let him talk about your feminine companions.
He probably has the worst recruitment requirement in game, or at least tied to Arona (fetch quest are not fun).
His lust combat gimmick is not for everyone.
He has not received a major update in 2 years.
Because of his relationship mechanic, some people feel that they can not form a decent bond with him, specifically a romantic one.

my gripes:
He can feel a bit rapy with his liberal use of magic that is in essences ruffing.
As someone who likes topping guys, him being the only male companion that we can not top feels alienating.
His pregnancy content sucks.
I find his whole cultist shtic a missed opportunity when it comes to character progression. The game basically puts no blame on him for joining a cult that has never once, through the course of the game, presented as anything else than a wretched source of corruption. So having him be so guilt free (I checked out his inner thoughs) just rubs me the wrong way.

Still, I have to remind you that I like Quinn and that I would like more from him. I just wanted to make a somewhat comprehendive list.

Ah I see. Thank you. Also I just realized that stupid old me had Quin and Brint mixed up, lol. So I was under the assumption that this topic was about Brint (whose name I somehow managed to confuse with Quin). So that what got me confused, since Brint is imo perfectly fine.

Will agree about Quint. He does seem a bit... lacking in terms of content I suppose.
