I was expecting Alfria to be a companion, but since the game doesn't implement the Bard class...yet...

I actually don't find all the companion's too objectionable. I do find the "back/other" stories for some of them to be a bit...unfortunate and, well, not good aligned. At least the ones in my party. But, they aren't objecting too much to me being a do-gooder, at least up to this point. They ha a couple issues early on apparently, but they're okay with me now.
