...hello everyone

I have started the game two times already, always stopped at the bridge and the two drunken guards :P Was going to start it for the third time, to change the party, but i read something interesting. It is correct that early in the game you found two companions, a knight with two handed weapon and a mage with air/water spell? Since I was going to create that combination of class, what do you think about this: mage with fire/earth spell and a warrior/witchcraft with one handed/shield?
PS: it's correct that the character that always speak is the one in the second slot? And last question where do I find this two companion? :P
Thank a lot
