So the game will probably have 6-7 companions. If we are super lucky, perhaps 8? I highly doubt they are making more than that playable origin stories. I find that a bit disappointing number. I'd love to have 10 minimum. We'll also probalby also get all the companions from the first 5 hours of gameplay, since they all have tadpoles in their head and all start from same illithid ship. I'd love to get more variation than this.
