I like seeing the whole system.

I'm really not feeling my current save though. I might reroll or start all the way over. Bio+Divination psyker buffing the whole team through the raven is itself fun and pretty strong, but if you don't go first then the people you need to buff leave your raven aoe, or else they pass their turn in an ineffectual turn in order to stay under the aoe. I was stacking my raven aoe and Cassia officer skull aoe over each other for tons of buffs to everyone and it worked well when initiative favored us, but most fights it doesn't work because Kibelah or Ulfar or whoever rolls higher initiative and goes off doing their thing killing stuff and is thus not in the aoe. So the whole gimmick doesn't really work.

But if I was just officer into tactician/strategist it wouldn't matter where the ally was, if Kib/argent/Ulfar/etc goes first and does their turn, you can just target them from wherever you are, and you're not losing efficiency.

So despite how cute the companion class is, after playing it a bunch I just don't like it. I prefer the stronger single target buffs from strategist, and I'll leave the overseer class to Glaito and the eagle from either Cass or Jae. In my opinion only really Idira benefits from Overseer more than any of the base game classes, and maybe Cassia but that's only because she's best doing navigator things so her second class doesn't matter. Jimmy is better as executioner/archmilitant, and Jae is better as tactician/strategist.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to scrap this save, and go ahead and do my retard playthrough to snag the achievements related to being chaos. There's 2 or 3 steam achievements that are explicitly for a chaos playthrough so I'm going to have to do this someday anyway even though I don't want to, so I might as well do it now since I'm still testing what classes I enjoy and goofing around anyway. My serious or "canon" playthrough can wait.
