I feel like there is a general theme of Persona (not the game, the concept) with our companions. They all seem to have a mask of sorts, some way they wish the world would see them. But even in the ea there are a lot of cracks in these masks.
Wyll is the most obvious one of them - he wants you to think he is some badass level 30 hero who killed many dragons, but all I see is "super fake". What kind of a lame ass character consider his biggest nemesis to be a lame goblin? I see in his future some sort of realisation of what being a true hero means, and perhaps then he will be more tolerable.
Shadowheart - Shadowheart's "look at me! I'm evil and sneaky" attitude is not very convincing after several hours in the game. I get a sense of some kind hearted character who never had the chance to practice kindness. I don't know if there is brainwashing involved, but I strongly feel a redemption arc, if such a redemption is necessary. we only hear shadowheart is evil, but we have no knowledge of what evil deeds she commited other than worshipping Shar. This last bit makes me think that perhaps Shadowheart actually was into Shar he whole life, but wasn't doing any evil missions, at least not until very recently.
Laezel - another character I'm surprised to hear people say that should be level 10. If from what we know of Laezel, not only she is so green (no pun intended) that she never left her crath before, but we also know she is full of self doubt (which is kinda strange for a githienky)
Astarion and Gale are more complete identity wise. I would say Astarion is finally discovering who he really is but he does it rather quickly, and once he does he kinda goes into a spiral of cheotic evil craziness. It's hard to predict where his character will go to, but his story probably leads to Cazador.
Gale is the least interesting to me, and I feel his character don't have where to go
