Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Do companions soften?

I'm new to the game and still trying to feel out the party I want to roll with. Can the player influence and inspire change in the companions' personalities and beliefs over the course of the game, or are they pretty set in stone? I notice for example that at least 3 of the 6 possible companions are rather... ridiculously specist. Makes sense from a lore perspective, but the "What inferior jabber must you bore me with now??" is getting old really fast. Obviously I could just skip those 3 companions, but Fane seems pretty potentially interesting... And Im specist toward dwarves.
