I've been holding out on playing the game until the content patch (2 companions, etc). Aside from patches, has Larian divulged any details as to when we can expect it? I remember reading something like the end of July, but I'm not sure.
My advice: don't wait. You can skill the two existing companions as you wish anyway (just make sure to pick them up as early as possible). I made Medora a ranger for example...
