Thanks,guys. I really appreciate the feedback. I'm torn between rolling my own male elf battlemage or playing as Sebille (probably as a witch) to maximize four stories. (Maybe even using her to romance Red Prince, assuming that's even possible from what little I already know.)

Any opinions on the most interesting companions to focus on? Fane is a lock for me 'cuz he's too interesting to pass up. I'm not worried about the best companions for combat since that can be tweaked. Who's the most fun to "hang out with" and have the most interesting commentary as you're out adventuring?
