On my first few playthroughs I wanted to get to know all of them and try to follow their side stories (save for LaE'Zel to be honest. I always just had her benched at the camp). However when I started later on while playing a more 'I don't care what you think', I found myself only sticking Asterion in my party and going it with just the two of us. There is a potential tiefling companion that I would love to have join us later, but they are not recruit able.


I stopped caring about Shadowheart. She never wants to share anything about herself, but when she said the line 'your business is my business', I realized how selfish and hypocritical she is. I used to always have her in my party but these days in my most recent playthroughs I don't even invite her to my camp.

I liked Gale. My goody goody two-shoesness (especially in wanting to help the tieflings) got me on good terms with him. But his 'I want to eat your rare equipment' thing turned me off. If he's not in my party, that won't be my problem. Sorry Gale, figure it out yourself my dude.

I usually ignored Wyll. I would invite him to my camp but never play him because I always play Warlock. When I tried a playthrough of bringing him and going through his revenge story, it became more trouble than it was worth. He's hella shady and I'm sure his quest is worth unfolding but... I like playing Warlock. No other class gives me the amount of satisfaction that Warlock does (Until we get Bard unlocked).

LaE'Zel. I personally hate people who are bossy and overbearing. From the start I felt really rebellious with her. 'You will do as I say', 'No, no I will not'. Now I just leave her in the cage. I used to free her and now I don't. When I tell her to say please and thank you, she's like 'no', so my natural reaction is going 'kay, bye'. I don't even feel bad about it.

Asterion is the only one I genuinely like. He's a horrible and selfish person. Probably charming you to get what he wants and seems likely to stab you in the back, but I seriously find him super fun to be around. He has fun dialogue (especially the barn scene) that tends to get overridden if you have others in your party (like Shadowheart always gives her two cents in my playthroughs) so I was super shocked by the things he actually had to say when it's just the two of us.


Hoping to see more companions but even more so, I'm hoping there's a way that all companions can add their input towards a situation or scene instead of one person saying something. Dragon Age Inquisition did companions right for me. Giving BG3 more time to finish and refine their game, I hope, adds more depths and casual dialogue/banter as we go.
