Is it likely we’ll have a companion for each class? Hopefully we’ll get a more classic barbarian or paladin to fit OP’s request. I’m down for some good old slightly dense but heart of gold beefy warrior.
This is probably something they can easily do, hopefully an origin companion for each. I am hoping for 3 of each class, one of each base alignment as options at some point in the game.
Wyll is a polite Noble and you feel it.
Gale is very intellectual Man and you feel it.
Astarion is used to being a pawn of fate and he accepts in a cynical, sarcastical way.

If you see it like this, they seem all 100% genuine and correct.
Agreed.
The cringe starts only when you think about how the lack of less empathic and more "naive" masculinity is lived about by Lae'zel of all people. That is when the cringe starts.
Yeah.
And this is why I kill her as soon as I can.
With her around, everything feels like I am chained somewhere in the nine hells for torture.
This made me laugh.

One of my characters would probably agree with you. Another would really like her, the rest probably don't care one way or the other. I think her behaviour is more cultural rather than being "masculine" but I can understand how it would irritate people.
Cannot accept this kind of behaviour, of a female especially.
Yeah I am kinda sexist.
I want females to be "nice, goodhearted Princesses" of sorts.
Nothing wrong with having this opinion, a lot of guys do. I think princesses are overrated and kind of boring though. Never wanted to be one even as a child, wanted to be the assassin or the advisor.

Hopefully you will get at least one of these "princess" type companions at some point in the game. No way I would use these ones but the option would be there for people like you.
