Yeah, I must agree with OP somewhat. Seems like most of companions you pick up are coming up as strong negative. What's even more silly is how every one of them gets steamy with you after like several nights at camp... what's the point of the edge then?
I'd really love if they would add another companion, who's just a simple Neutral Good bloke that cheers people to work together, because it both makes sense (as other stuck up peacocks begrudgingly realize) and he/she is not hiding some yet another massive dark secret.
Reminds me of The Noob Comic – Adventures in Clichequest, where in one chapter in the starting experience there was a signpost stating "Dark Knights go to floor -2" or some such. Feels like that precisely - every companion you pick up is a "dark knight", I mean, come on - can we have a companion who gets his baggage as we go, instead of coming with yet another huge tragic secret? That would be a first and refreshing too for Larian, tbh.
Heck, that bard dude, Volo, would make a great companion - he just wants a big story and it probably will be more interesting as you go on and try to grant him that instead of tending to yet another addict, vampire, cultist, fraud or just a plain maniac that only wants stab things.
