#i agonized for far too long about trying to make the companion stats like. balanced

[shardofsun]

celestial blue: are they in other games besides fallen london?

tumbleweed: what stats would they provide as an in-game companion? how would you acquire them?

Celestial blue: Dorothea’s solely an FLPC. Dell, my new Light Fingers alt, was first conceived of as a Sunless Sea Captain though.

Tumbleweed: Dorothea would be +6 Watchful, +4 Persuasion, +1 Respectable and increase Troubled Waters buildup. She would also probably be +1 Artisan of the Red Science, but I haven’t gotten far enough in the game for advanced skills.

For Dell, they’re still pretty new but I think he’d be +4 Dangerous, +4 Shadowy, and decrease Troubled Waters. Maybe instead +1 Zeefaring or +1 Glasswork for advanced skills.

I think both of them would maybe be obtained from either an opportunity card or ES storyline where a final choice you make determines which one you get, so you can’t get both companions.
