I agree, that the companion stories are often over the top. So far, the most normal for me is Lae'zel. Not to say, that I don't like some of them, but I hope, we get some more companions with a bit more normal backstories. I mean, it doesn't have to be deadly deals with very powerful Supernatural beings, like it is the case with all current male characters. I remember how you helped Keldorn to save his marriage or Cernd with his kid. How you helped Leliana to deal with a former (mortal) lover or Oghren to get a girlfriend. All more normal problems, that still are interesting.
This exactly! I didn't put it in the OP but yeah, more mortal problems would be a bit better. Sure, like someone else said, demonic possession is possible in this universe, but it isn't exactly common and it very much feels like every single character in the party is a protagonist. It's like having the entire cast of a story be a chosen one (Divinity OS2 did this, but the plot revolved around that rather than something entirely different (tadpole)).
