I hope Larian doesn't change a thing regarding companions. I *LOVE* that the companions all have super interesting backstories and that their quests are just as important as the main quest. Why not? I'm here for the character interactions and original stories. I don't care about battle - I can kill things in any ol' game. Creating characters worth caring about is hard. And I am already totally invested in helping everyone. So I say WELL DONE. <3
I agree very much with your overall abstract point about stories and character interactions. But I profoundly disagree about the companions being super interesting and being worth caring about. So where does that leave me? I don't like these companions and either want them changed or else additional companions who are the exact opposite of these companions, because with these companions I won't have a party of even four let alone six.
