Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Will there be recruitable companions that aren't..

from the Origins story based playable characters?


Let me explain. I was reading how, at present, there are four distinct Origin story based characters that the player can choose from. Further, it has been said that for the Origin stories characters that the player didn't choose, those will be available in the game as recruitable companions for the party, but you just won't have access to their particular origin quests.

Well, my question is will there be recruitable companions that are not part of the Origin based characters, that are instead, separate and distinct recuitable npcs for the party?

The reason I ask is I can see this game having a lot of replayability by going through the game multiple times based on picking the different Origin stories/characters, but I would not want to be stuck with always having to use the same characters (the origin based ones) to fill out my party.

I want to play each Origin based character fresh, with a new game, and use other recruitable npcs instead for the party slots on each playthrough.

Please Larian, for varieties sake, put in plenty of alternative npcs available for the players to choose from to recruit for the party.

This is something that was lacking in the first game, where there were only four companions available.

I understand there were also henchmen you could get, but it would be nice to have other recruitable npcs that are a bit more fleshed out than that, they don't have to be full fledged companions like in the Origin based story ones, but just have a bit more flavor, richness and depth than a complete blank slate henchmen.

Thanks for any answers in advance. Really looking forward to this game!
