Sacred Haven of Debauchery

I finally figured out the problem with the Town Portal. You can summon heroes from the Tavern and add them to your party. I've even decided who I'll be taking in both parts, and I'm currently playing through the first one. Out of all the heroes I've had, I like Garrick the most. He's a good guy, enthusiastic, and optimistic, always ready for adventure. He has good voice acting, and he even says "Yes, ser," like a young soldier. He once praised Khalid, and Khalid thanked him – it was funny. However, he's not very useful, unfortunately. Although he shoots well with a crossbow, the dilemma remains: should I keep those who I like or take those who are strong? Although in some cases, I like the strong ones, but there are probably only a couple of them.
