+1 to 6 party members
-1 Volo, sorry
I would like to have both a dyed in the wool paladin type along side a Jan Jansen sort. I loved the Keldorn / Jan interactions.
Funnily enough, I'm nearing the end of a playthrough with Jan and Mazzy in the party. It's great. Jan is the only character I saw getting Mazzy out of her knightly poise. And then a couple of exchanges later their conversations ended on a heartwarming note.
My disappointment will be immeasurable if we get no companion that could fill Jan's role in the party.
I agree, but this is exactly why the party size of four hurts so very badly. In the original games you can have set up your party really well for party role balance with five of your party members, and you then got to use that sixth spot for an eclectic character that you otherwise may have not taken along with you. Now, with only four party slots, I won't be willing to use a very precious slot for a character that does not fully support role balance needs within my party.
