Does every companion have to be an playable origin character ?
It would add so much to the game if for example Halsin, Minthara or Anders could become permanent companions with their own motivations.
I dont need them as a potential Main Character with some Origin Integration..but limiting the party to the tadpole crew kinda seems like lost potencial to me.
I too really hope we can have non-Origins, non-tadpoled companions. It's cool to move away from "godspawn topic-of-prophecy PC surrounded by allies met on the way". It's sad if it ends up being the extreme opposite, "everyone is VIP : no tadpole, no joining".
The list of non-tadpoled companions could include :
- The bard Alfira (+++)
- The druid Halsin (+++)
- Minthara (+++)
- Sazza
- Gandrel (a Ranger ?)
- Someone from the Lia-Rolan-Cal group (or another tiefling that looks fighter-like, basically, they look like they have a couple of people who could hold their own)
