Hope I didn't come off sounding like an asshole, didn't mean anything rude by what I posted.
There has been lots of suggestions to fix the Lizards racial ability and I think at this point we can look forward to a change as no one has posted really liking it honestly.
Elf is REALLY hard to think of something else because it is such a powerful ability no one would want something else. I mean you stick an Elf on Rogue or Ranger and dear god in heaven that shit is OP, you get Adrenaline, Haste and Flesh Sacrifice, oh and Rage can't forget about that one.
Encourage is bad for anything that isn't a meat wall tank or a support mage and I think them having two human companions and only 1 elf and 1 lizard is...not the greatest of choices cause you really only need 1 mage and like you said encourage is shit for anything else so its kinda wasted on Ifan or Lohse depending on what you make each.
I doubt we'll see that many more companions if any more, I could hope we'd get an Undead companion, but that is it sadly.
