I only want good-oriented and honorable companions, and I need at least five of them because I will only be playing the game with a mod that increases party size to six. Someone already mentioned Eder. Yes I love Eder. In both PoE games Eder is my always-in-the-party companion. In PoE1 I also similarly loved Sagani and she was always in my party too.
I don't care at all about my companions being "nuanced" or "flawed" because that's what's "realistic." If I wanted any of that, I can get that from real life. I play my cRPGs to get away from real life.
I love Eder so much, he was a GREAT companion. But Sagani seemed dull as dirt, to me.
The reason I loved Sagani so much is that
when you get near her when first coming across her, you overhear her talking to her fox about how much she is worried and even scared because she things the person who she's waiting for is not going to show and she is going to end up dead in that very dangerous place.
That just made her like my little sister who I wanted to be very protective of from then on. A personal thing I guess. Plus, yes, the foxy fox!!!
