This would force players to act in certain ways just to keep a preferred class in their party. If I really want a wizard in my group and there isn't a way to hire a mercenary for that role, then I'm basically forced to keep Gale happy. Or at least not mad enough to leave.

Yes this is very much my concern here as well. If the game came with multiple companions per class then it wouldn't be an issue. But we will have only one companion per class at MOST, and more likely no companions at all for some classes, so forcing us to play the game a certain way in order to keep the party we want would be aggravating to the extreme.
