Some questions about "friends".

[Adoede]

I once took a team of Arghpirate, Ahhnold, Venom Demon, Flonne and Seraph Madigant - five elite 2H Rages. They destroyed everyone with ease...except the last boss. Most of them didn't have the stamina to be effective by the third fight. I've found Hit 'n Run Rages to be pretty effective too - and they can last long enough to be useful in the last boss fight. Been a long while since I've tried conquests though...don't like the random prizes.

For now we have also Shadows option. They are able to do a good work with stamina... Although all of BG Shadows are experimental today, as i can see.
About random prizes.
For me, the Conquests are not enough random. It's not an "Adventure", but the grinding playground today.
If Nate have be able to make them more interesting content (rather than prizes), it would be more popular.
