#the grymforge will never improve

[voerman]

gauntlet of shar had some wacky fucking level design that had me spending ages backtracking and looking up whether I'd glitched something TWICE

my headcanons for gear that "belongs" on companions:

Lae'zel would be geeking about the cool githyanki loot we get, and she'd refuse to wear anything else, no matter how much "better" it would be for her build

Shadowheart would be really hype about the dark justiciar bits and bobs we pick up at the grymforge and the gauntlet, but then would refuse to wear any of it if you spare nightsong and respecc. then, she'd start dying things fun colors and get a matching set thing going on

Astarion thinks the drow armor is really cool looking (and so do i) and he feels so sneaky and cool while wearing it, so he always does. it's confusing to the rest of the camp at first, but eventually they get used to it and start assuming he wants that hooded drow headgear they just found. he puts all his "normal" fashionable self into his camp clothes

Karlach never wore armor in the hells and she's sure as shit not going to start now, so it takes a lot of convincing from Tav/Durge to get her to even put on a magic amulet or use an upgraded weapon. once she finally does, she thinks it's the coolest thing ever to have a magical item and then starts hoarding anything another companion isn't actively wearing

Wyll is the opposite of Karlach - he's always excited to try out a magical item and brainstorm how it can improve his skills in combat. out of all the companions, he cares the least about how it looks

Gale is hungry, beyond that, idk
