I liked it when feuds would boil over in time in BG1&2 but given that this game forces you to lock in companions after act 1 that would be miserable. You could use hirelings, I guess, but being down 1-2 companions in a 4 person party would still suck.

Although if we're stuck with just 1 or 2 more characters than what we've seen so far I'll be using hirelings for my party anyway.

I was only commenting on the fun of what @Warlocke suggested.

I am very much in the camp of utterly disliking most of these first batch of companions. I would not want Shadowheart, Lae'zal, Astarion, or Wyll in my good-aligned party, leaving only Gale as a possible companion. And I am equally adamant about saying 'no' to generic hirelings. I want only fully fleshed-out companions. And, I fully expect there will at least be a mod to increase party size to six, and that will be a "never play without it" mod for me. So, I am currently short four companions in my party. Let's see if Larian can give me four more companions I will like, though I'm not holding my breath on this happening. As such, things are not looking fun/enjoyable--or even just viable--for me.
