How is that any different than any game that isn’t like IWD? I don’t see what you mean. Almost every RPG has recruitable companions made by the “DM.” Why does it matter whether hypothetical players who don’t actually exist are jealous of you?


Maybe my statement was confusing as it was meant to be a jokey remark as to how all that would go over if it occurred at a table top game IRL. In this situation it's like the developers are the DM's.. They've created their version of a perfect party and they want you to play with their characters. They've allowed you to create a character but ultimately it doesn't actually matter how your character fits in with their perfect party because their characters are all meant to be played as main characters.
