Ok, if they do this, now more than ever I want to see a larger party size, for obvious reasons
+1 on OP post btw. All the companions from the entire story crammed into the first act leaves little to look forward too in terms of character stories. This may just be a side effect of making every companion in the game a potential main character. A few "purist companions" that are only available as party additions would be great (like the Zariel touched Tiefling you meet and eithehr help or kill).
