I'd love an elfy elf too! I liked Sand in NWN 2 though even he could've been elfier since he lived in Neverwinter for a long time as merchant. I can't even remember a true elfish behaving companion in an RPG. I also agree that the existing companions would profit from behaving a bit more like what and how old they are. Also a Paladin would really be nice. And a warrior that is not a psycho or arse. Some fellows that good aligned characters could get along with easily. The current cast seems to be for evil aligned characters really.
- Shadowheart seems to act like a very young half-elf at least in that her reactions truly seem to be just a front and behind that is the unexperienced and uncertain girl. I mean I could actually believe that one can kinda uh... educate or convince Shadowheart a bit because her core being seems not to be evil. Just her front. - But Lae'Zel? No thanks lol. I'd rather kiss a real frog. - And Alistair seems to be a boy, not a 200 years old man. If you do not actively stop him when you are careless enough to let him suck your blood, then he kills you. I don't like men who know no restraint and can't control themselves. Wouldn't even take him with an evil main character. - Gale obviously has his own agenda. TOO friendly up front. Probably a manhunt for Shadowheart from what I've gotten out of the story so far. So I don't want to have him around. Also he eats my loot. - Wyll just seemed uninteresting, dunno. "I'm the hero, yeah yeah. Lets do the good yeah, yeah. Also there's totally no demon involved with me, yadda yudda". And in combat he kinda sucks. But thats probably only me disliking warlocks.
