I like the idea of female companions or companions in general that doesn't just readily accept whatever the player character does and turn a blind eye to them. I like the idea of companions that stand up to the player character and questions them on their choices and not follow the player blindly.
Same here. I just wish there were more actual conversations we could have with all of them about at least the important decisions.
I keep seeing people saying we get evil first so expect them to be abrasive and unlikable. The best evil people are super charming. They're just selfish. Astarion is actually a great example of this. Shadowheart isn't even really that evil, and seems to be evil despite herself frankly, and I'm guessing the story will explain that in such a way that she isn't even bad. Nonetheless, Laezel makes perfect sense to me. I mean look at the other Githyanki we meet. Damn!
I say this more because a lot of people seem to feel that friendly = good and unfriendly = evil. I can't really see a typical "good" character being grumpy about working with others but "evil" often prefers not to, although when I play them in TT I can work with others just fine. You forgot to mention Gale though, he is a rather nice sort but I am firmly convinced he has potential to be one of the most evil ones.
So, bottom line, a very broad range of different types of companions.
Can definitely agree with this. Would like Larian to have this in game but I do wonder if modders can add some as well.
