Whats everyone*s opinion on this? Super detailed 6 companions, so so detailed 10 companions or low detailed 20 companions? Does it have to be this way?

Being a BG2 successor Is it unreasonable to have 15 highly detailed companions in this game?? (still lower than BG2`s 20ish).
Personaly I would not mind having NO cinematics, but plenty of dialogue options for some of those extra companions. Make 6 to 8 story driven cinematic companions, and an extra dozen similar to BG2! I think this would make everyone super happy.

It's not unreasonable at all to expect 17 detailed companions. That's just the burden the devs took on when they decided create sequel to D&D's flagship product. I have high hopes for the companions but so far they aren't super detailed at all. Shadowheart confirms this herself -- she simply can't answer some of your questions because her memory has been wiped. We need more banters, more reactions, conversations and walls of text.

And yes, I more non origin characters. I want characters that flesh out the story of the main character, not NPCs that steal my thunder.

Oh and if the spoilers are correct that's a good thing, I didn't want to see a romance between the spoiler NPC and the MC.
Seconded.
