I would prefer a 5 character party, but could work with 4 if there were more companion choices. Right now I dont really like any of the companions. Shadowheart is evil (dont’t trust her). Gale is a bomb waiting to go off (dont trust him). The Gith is bossy and condescending(don’t like her). The rogue is a vampire(need I say more?). And the Warlock has a pact with a devil (ummm, red flag?). I struggle to see how I would let any of them be a travel companion.
