Thanks!

This is a BG game.

While I would love tons of companions as well, these being fully voiced characters make them exceedingly expensive and TONS of work. I was slightly shocked when Swen said we could choose our own character voice. That's a lot of time/money. It wouldn't surprise me if we only see 2 more origins characters, though I could be wrong.
