I mean, we all kind of figured the evil and neutral companions were in the game, but the response didn't exactly inspire confidence in me.
It almost seemed like 1.) The excuse for their dialogue and reaction to the PC was because of their alignment, which is asinine. You can still have a great sense of comraderie (sp) and be bros with a bad guy. Look at a gang, they're basically family, yet they do terrible things.
2.) There's probably just those 3 companions we know of coming, which, IMO isn't enough. Espefially with the ones we have now. I'd hope for another 2 neutral, 1 evil and 1 good after these 3 come in.
Call me overly optimistic if you want, but I still think the full release will contain 12 (or at the very least close to) companions - one for each of the PHB classes.
