Anyone tried the new NPC Valen?
Just checked at wes' site, and she looks so cool!
Can someone give me some opinions?
I cannot be caged.
I cannot be controlled.
(I probably cannot be contained either) :p ;)

Yea, I've tried it myself and she's pretty cool. Decent stats, level drain on each succesful hit (with her hands), cast domination spells, movement rates insane. Downsides? She's extremely weak during the day and usely becomes emcumbered (stats drop like hell during day), she doesn't talk much, party will never be able to keep up with her, and for some reason she doesn't attack who I tell her to attack sometimes? Likes running off and attacking whoever she wants. Try it out yourself though.

She's cool, but don't expect a lot of dialogue (like you'd get with Sola or Kelsey). Wes will probably make small, regular updates adding more dialogue as time goes on (and if interest seems high enough to be worth his time).

What happens when you face bodhi at chapter 6 or even at the spellhold maze?Does Valen betray her mistress?Or does she betray YOU?
