My template for well done companions is still Shadows of Amn, but there were some serious shortcoming. Some of the highlights for me in BG:2 Anomen and Viconia, where you could influence them to undergo some serious character changes, but even here you see the limitations, such as gating serious involvement with character arcs to romance plotlines. And speaking of romance, the trope of "say what they want to hear to make them like you" is both reinforced and refuted depending on the character in BG:2.
So far I like how much more assertive the personalities in BG:3 appear to be, so I'm interested in seeing how these relationships will develop.
Unlike in a lot of games where you have to play the min/maxing approval game, I'm not afraid a character's story will just end because I didn't massage their ego enough. so kudos
