This more or less mirrors my experience with the game. Going Lich or Swarm is worthwhile just to kill the rest of the party. They're all obnoxious. Nenio is the worst. She's like if someone did the butterfly meme and said "is autism a personality?"

Owlcat also can't help themselves but try to be oh so clever, and accidentally include an endgame zone designed to make you quit because it's so incredibly not fun.
