I personally love Fane the most due to the original sin of that game being his. He's strongly binded by the main story.

[@Obloms]

Agree. To me Fane is so interweaved with the game and so unique, I can't help but rank him first.

[@sadrath4567]

same

[@barbaimbaraboom5233]

Man..i am so sad is this a spoiler? I JUST BOIGHT THIS GAME😭

[@surgdexillongvideoedition6235]

Eh somewhat. No real details though@@barbaimbaraboom5233

[@ChristmasLore]

It's heavily foreshadowed, though .. Just out of Act 1, and I had a gut feeling about it for a while now. Still, Fane is one of the best characters (with Ifan, which I ultimately choose for my character in my first playthrough - but I hesitated with Fane for a long while) So my party is Ifan, Fane, Red Prince and Lohse. It's really a shame there's no camp and Sebille +Beast just die. Would have loved to finish their story too, even if not in my party.

[@aver155]

The rate in which you release quality content is impressive.

[@sheaponders3740]

Opened this video a Lohse fan, closed this video a satisfied Lohse fan

[@danielhuisman1996]

Lohse has the most personality but Ifan has the most depth in my opinion. Beast, Red Prince, Lohse and sorta Fane have such an isolated story. Sebille and Ifan have a lot of overlap with different stories and I feel like those (with Fane being the most prevalent in the main story) are the core characters, with the others more being add ons that easily coudlve been left out without the game being less. still, glad they're there

[@humbertoquadros9384]

What? Red Prince's and Sebille's quests have so much overlap. With the Dreamer, the Shadowy guy, maybe more

[@ryandavid1277]

You did it and this is just toooo good! Next up, boss fights. My favorite character story was Fane

[@Thanosdidnothingwrong.]

Funny how both DOS and POE gods are all self made and relish in the manipulation of their respective environments.

[@M.L.official]

I'd be interested in a dlc about the nemesis demons for dos2. Seems like there are 4 major factions in the story - godwoken, black ring and god king, magisters and the demons. The demons are pretty strong and they are all over arx and blood moon isle (sanguine mansion, the doctor, etc), and almost all the enemies you face are black ring followers. Would be pretty cool to have a separate campaign or even additional quests related to demons

[@ImpOverpower]

Bit late to the party but my personal ranking is: 1 - Fane 2 - Lohse 3 - Red Prince 4 - Ifan 5 - Sebille 6 - Beast

[@poetsave]

I love this video. I used a mod so that I could have all the characters in my party so not to miss out on all their stories.

[@soldiersvejk2053]

I think Red Prince’s line is just hilarious.

[@edgybitch2177]

Well I think one of the most touching moments for me was *spoilers.* Playing as Lohse I stumbled across a bard in a bar, who was apparently a fan of hers. He played a song for her specifically, which I found kind of sweet in a way. Then two chapters later, I saw him in the dungeon of Adramahlihk, his tongue cut out, his lute broken. It's sort of revealed that this bard had made a deal with the doctor, giving him musical talent, a classic deal with the devil at the crossroads scenario. Except, when the bard performed for the doctor, it wasn't to his personal taste, hence the bard's "punishment." This bears several implications, that in a way the song the bard composed for Lohse was based in a talent that was granted by the very demon who possessed her. However, the real kicker came when I ran into a separate bard in Arx, where I asked him to sing a classic, and this other bard, totally unrelated, started singing the very song the bard had composed for Lohse.

[@blazer168]

Personally 1 & 2 Fane and Red Prince (Can't decide which I like better) Fane's story is so entwined with the overall story and mystery that it's amazing, whereas Red Prince is a story of a fallen prince regaining his throne and bringing forth the new golden age of his people by bringing back the dragons. (i can forgive the plothole because I didn't even know the dragons had their own god) 3) Sebile: Mind controlled slave getting revenge on her master is pretty cool 4) Lohse: Never cared much for her singing but her personal struggle with a powerful Archdemon is cool, but didn't really have much to do ingame (iirc) 5) Ifan: Eh, sure I feel bad for him having been a tool in killing the people that raised him and been betrayed by his best friend, but IDK I feel like a story like this or similar to this has been done before and it's nothing new 6) Beast: Don't really care for pirates and yeah his story needed some more love or we should have visited the Dwarven kingdom to get some more personal investment or something.

[@niceguyofgames9490]

Only problem I have with the Prince is that he is SUCH an ass. Like playing as him, I have had to actively avoid a lot of his dialogue. His dialogue options are primarily “Be a douche and winge”

[@bigzachful]

@@niceguyofgames9490 Completely agree! I like the mission but him as a person/being sucks! I love Beast. He is so fun. And I love pirates. I love the pirate theme. There’s no pirate RPGs so Lyrian adding this was very fun. However they should have delved way more into pirates imo and had us visit a dwarves kingdom so we could connect more with Beast!

[@niceguyofgames9490]

@@bigzachful Everyone else has awesome quotes, but the Red Prince just pisses and moans about who he is and how he shouldn’t have to do X

[@Torsteinhauger]

I agree with you on every point. 👍

[@alhassanalneami5212]

my favorite is fane and ty you for the work

[@ryandavid1277]

Your reasoning is impeccable though

[@cat_astronaut_]

love it!

[@controllergod69]

Lohse is definitely my favorite origin character

[@tiagoleivas3495]

Playing my first run about 100h with Fane, Ifan, Sebin and Red Prince! Love this party together

[@victorpurificacao2855]

My top is: 1: Lohse (The candle scene is one of my favorite choices/consequences in a game) 2: Red Prince (I can ignore the plothole and I love the character development prince has durint the adventure) 3: Fane (I like how it ties with the main story) 4: Sebile ( besides what you said I really enjoy when characters have revenge as a motivation for their story ) 5: Beast (It's an OK story, I think beast would benefit a lot if his pirate or noble side was more developed during the game) 6: Ifan (I find him pretty boring tbh)

[@sadrath4567]

i generally agree with this, though i would rank red prince at rank 3 and fane at rank 1

[@GenericYTFan]

Not sure about Fane. Nothing in the game felt more emotionally distressing than when i found out that Fane caused everything, and also when Fane's daughter ends up being Dallas.

[@kida4313]

Prince, Beast, Lohse, Fane, Ifan, Sebille

[@nectarkenni]

We started playing a month ago. I'm lohse and my dad's a human. His second character is fane and mines ifan

[@gustavovital5802]

For someone who only plans to play once, do you think is best to take a custom or origin character if my priority is to know their storylines, dialogues etc?

[@ChristmasLore]

As the party is only 4 members, and after act 1 the party is "locked": you'll get more of the game as an origin character. You can respec them as whatever you wish and even tweak their appearance a bit, so they feel very personal anyways

[@medalgearsalad1419]

Once? You might as well do a custom character then. This game has more content if you play as an origin character, and remember there's more than one so playing once wont get you the whole picture. Playing as a custom character will let you experience their stories but not 100%. Its a trade off. Also, origin characters aren't voiced if you're playing as them. Also, Fane is the one you might wanna play as, as he is the most important character "story wise"

[@hiimunranked8663]

damn fane is 4! that character was insane

[@patrikgyurcsovics7826]

My list: Fane ,RED prince ,Sebille, loshe , iphan , beast

[@InvisibleBoot]

I agree with putting Sebile and Lohse at the top given how unique the circumstances are and how they involve some many side NPCs with multiple ways to end them, but i would also put Fane there for similar reasons. For the bottom I would put either Beast or Ifan as those stories just follow the Magister and Dwarf stories and the characters really just don't feel like they add much to be blunt. That leaves the Red Prince in the middle, his story adds a bit with history of dragons and dragon knights being hunted to extinction (or near extinction at least) and his destiny is to join with the Red Princess to bring about the rebirth of the dragons and dragon knights (if i remember correctly) and then the reveal when you confront the House of Shadows that it would lead to a world war against lizards and their entire extinction. Maybe I'm crossing gameplay impact (crossing story paths and how the world changes depending on who you pick and have with you) with pure story writing but my list would go generally, though the top two may flip depending on the specific playthrough: 6) Beast 5) Ifan 4) Red Prince 3) Lohse 2) Sebile 1) Fane

[@kunarnonjantasare7249]

For me Ifan and Fane are the Divinity Original Sin 2 (1.Fane 2.Ifan 3.Lohse 4.Sebile 5.Beast 6.Rp) There's 2 main stories, 1 is about lucian, the divine order, the godwokens, alexander, souce magic etc, and 1 is a secret plot The first, Ifan is directly connected, he has a goal and when shit happens, he is put in a good place of importance on the story, good dialogue standing his ground as a badass person, plus he has a very good unique neutral good final, The secret one you will have full details with Fane with some crazy things no one has The other origin characters in my opinion work better as companions, their stories are not fully correlated with the final plots unlike Ifan and Fane, and are to ne better at being companion stories

[@kunarnonjantasare7249]

Also Fane and Loshe have the deep connections with the overall background lore. Ifan is personally invested with one of the main factions through out the story. Red Prince, Sebille and Beast feel more like side characters who stories don't fully align with the main objective.

[@user-ck7gz5hy6z]

I had sebille, lohse,ifan on my party. To me sebille was the best written character of those three. Dialogue for her was insane. Unlike most people in here i personally find both lohse and ifan quite dull as a companion.

[@bigles025]

for me, itd be 1.Fane 2.Red Prince 3.Lohse 4.Sebille 5.Ifan 6.Beast I had little knowledge about lore conflicts before playing the game, all of that i learned later, so the inconsistencies to me were explained by the potential power of the godwoken...Red Prince just got me through his character, I love these stories where some basically weaponizes their ego as a superpower...For all of his arrogance, prince can mostly back up what he aims to do, and i love that his story is not about him accepting himself, but accepting the responsibility and realizing his potential impact he could have on rivellon

[@AeonQuasar]

Yeah I agree. Might have Beast on the lowest of the list because he was boring and very unsatisfying ending to it. I only think Red Prince and Beast had poor writings, I enjoy the rest in your order.

[@kasparpantzare8529]

Derp my list was yours just complete reverse :D

[@jakubgauszczynski7790]

From the start I thought Loshe story will be boring and Red Prince amazing. Boy after playing both of these my rating shifted completly.

[@tmzFRM]

Isn't the thing about lizards and dragons kinda like the in-game relation between imps and demons (i.e. they have different gods but a related origin)?

[@MortismalGaming]

I explain it all in this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHencohpeM-Vi9k

[@tmzFRM]

@@MortismalGaming I wasn't disagreeing with your explanation. I just think that there's an in-universe precedent for different races created by different gods being said to be related. Since Demons are children of the Lord of Chaos, and Imps are said to have come from Demons, Red Prince's story wouldn't be singled out as an exception and maybe it isn't so far fetched. (as English is not my first language I'm worried that my tone is more confrontational than what I'd like to convey. I'm not criticising your videos, I do learn a lot watching them, and I'm currently binge-watching your DOS 2 content, and really enjoying it. I'm just pointing something that attenuates the feel of Red Prince's story being singled out for having plot holes, for me)

[@MortismalGaming]

@@tmzFRM no worries! It's just a lot to explain in a comment, but it's not in my opinion like either of those things with how it was written in

[@_Dingu]

I feel like you being so knowledgeable about the Divinity series has tainted your opinion of a lot of the companions. I think Fane is the most interesting companion, by a pretty large margin.

[@BANANA42k]

If you are new to the game he is by far the most interesting companion. His interactions with the npcs help establish ALOT of the background lore the main story of D:OS2 revolves around.

[@tritone11]

So your favorite stories are those of the characters I enjoyed playing the least😂 1.Fane 2.Red Prince 3. Ifan 4.Sebille 5.Lohse 6.Beast 😂

[@john_the_masochist2564]

See, I love Lohse. Her personality drew me in and so far her story is super intriguing.

[@john_the_masochist2564]

But I do agree Fane is my number 1.

[@tritone11]

@@john_the_masochist2564 actually Beast is the only truly underwhelming one to me. I was just so pissed I kept losing her 😄

[@tritone11]

@LWKGD I can see the point about Lohse! But Fane is without a doubt the most central lore character. His story is tied to main plot the most. How can you not care for him?

[@avisdunrandom]

Think fane story is more "epic" like the story of a main protagonist while the other are more, like you say "emotional". Maybe except the red prince wich is more a prophecy rather than an adventure/epic.

[@CSeyoum]

Not story but best companions as Sebille: Red Prince, Ifan, Lohse. Fane is shit as a compansion

[@made.online2149]

chapter titles include 'Fae', 'Sabre' and 'Losa'... were they dictated with speech-to-text 😅

[@MortismalGaming]

No, youtube just tries to do it for you if you don't set them yourself.

[@FredMaverik]

I see, should I take Sebile or RP on a first playthrough?

[@coreyano]

Hmmm... Rating characters is ez. Beast is great. He is so compassionate. And so outlaw. He is so cool. Now his story line yes, does feel a little separate from the main story. Ifan seems like the main character. He has so many xtra lines. The crossbow only he can get. Everywhere he goes he knows people. He seems like the main character and he is really cool character. Lohse is so fun and likable. She is very cool. Her interactions are not always beneficial. Starting from getting into a fight in the very beginning with the elf prisoners in the cave. And of course her dealings with the docter. Which is cool cuz it goes all the way to the end of the game to basically the biggest boss. Sebille is a bad ass. Red prince is just a ass. Fane is funny and annoying at the same time. His story id's super cool if i could ever figure it out.

[@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290]

I usually just play the game solo at this point. Mostly because I find it hard to believe that my character would trust most of these characters. Lohse? I'm sorry lady, but the things in your head are unreasonably dangerous. Sebile? Might've been an option if her first response to me greeting her wasn't stabbing me. Red prince? I fear I'm underqualified to travel with him. Fane? I'll not aid this unknowable horror from prehistoric time. Ifan? Seems kinda cool, but I really don't like wolves so out he is. Beast? He looks like a pirate. That's all. The road to divinity seems lonely sometimes, but them all selling their souls to the godking in act 3 kinda vindicated my choice.

[@fathanrobbiansyah1047]

Agree with your point But my rank will : 1. lohse 2. Fane 3. Sebille 4. Ifan 5. Beast 6. Red I place beast over red prince just bcs i really like beast overall personality. That lizard is jerk, kinda spoiled. Ifan story is good but let down toward the end. Sebile story is great made me confuse, and the decisions of her future is too hard to choose wixh one is the best. Fane has amazing and interesting story, but i think it can be better. I put lohse number 1 if i play her as main, but maybe place her 2nd or 3rd of she my companion, idk why but feel different if play as her as main

[@rodangrahf]

mine would be 1 - Fane, he is actually more connected to the games plot than everyone else, which is important for me. 2 - Lohse, only reason she is number 2 is cause its implied that the demon isnt actually gone in the very end and that pissed me , and that tuned me off almost completely, being vague is the worst type of conclusion. Lohse deserved to be completely free. 3 - Sebille, she is third not because i like her but cause i simply hate everyone else more. These elves are their own take on the fantasy race... and i completely hate them thus making it hard to like anything related to Sebille after you find out more about her story. 4 - Beast, could have been much better, he is only here cause dwarves are my favorite fantasy race, if he was anything else he would be 5. 5 - Ifan, could have been much much better, this dude is a wuss, his story can have some twists in the end but his resolutions boil down to the fact that he is needy and lonely. 6 - Red Prince, fuck this lizard.
