Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Only 5 companions to choose from?

I am generally a little bit disappointed about the fact, that we only get like six to seven companions in the whole game. This doesn't even come close to Baldurs Gate 2, and to be honest, NOT EVERY companion in this game needs to have a complex origin story. This feature was really welcoming in DiV2 because DiV1 was an absolute desaster on the companion aspect, but I am not really feeling it for a Baldurs Gate game. Something I definitely would like to see though are specific companions per Act, since I just read that Act 1 is where you will set your origin companions for the rest of the game. Means, that there will be additional non-origin ones (no origins story, but still unique traits and voice sets like in Baldurs Gate 1) in the later acts if you want to mix and match without creating sterile template characters like in Icewind Dale. And if that isn't an option, give us at least the option to create custom voice sets, and maybe portraits, for custom characters, so that we at least can pretend that there is something unique behind them.
