I had also stated that I hope there would be companions of the type the OP prefers as well. This would also include someone like you I think? I had interpreted them to be wanting the more stereotypical older style companions, not sure if this is what you also want. My comment about looking at things from their point of view was more to try and help OP and maybe others to perhaps find it easier to deal with them for now.
I would like to see many possible companions so everyone would be happy. Ideally an origin one for each class or one of every alignment, then in the next act to have new options to better create the ideal party. The current companions certainly don't fit in all of my parties but I am willing to put up with them (we have the same goal for now) until I find others I prefer to join me later. This is something I have got used to in every game I play, there is rarely a full group of perfect companions I can find. Closest I ever got was the ME trilogy, probably because the group was so small. I can definitely understand you not wanting to make a party of full customs, this is a pain unless you are bored enough to create backstories for everyone and even then you miss out on possible dialogue.
Fair enough. And for the record, I wasn't being critical of your earlier post. Just using it as a good segue to my related point.
As for stereotypical companions, be they of an older generational style or the current generational style, I have mixed feelings. While it is easy to say I don't want any such companions, the truth is that sometimes those kinds of companions are nice to have along in my party. So, bottom line, a very broad range of different types of companions.
