I think what has happened is what happens to a lot of us when we create our own characters.. We tend to fall in love with them and want them to be cool and special.

It feels like the developers have created some characters they really enjoy and want them all to be the main player in the story and this is bad for us..
It's like going to a table top game and the DM is controlling all of the other characters in the party and worse, they'd rather have you play one of their pre-made characters
rather than you creating your own character. That's a major control freak right there and they are not fun to game with.

In BG1 and 2 you could easily go through the game with your own pre-created full party and not feel like you missed out on much of anything. (bg1 more than 2)
The companions add flavor but aren't necessary. Even Imoen can be easily left behind and she's a part of the plot in 2. In BG1 and 2 this was our characters story.. BG3 feels too much like they are trying to make it their characters story.
