Kinda hate how most of our companions have a "dark secret motive" and will leave/kill the PC to get their goal. Obviously we dont know if this will change or not. But seeing all the comments about Gale and Astarion it just feels inevitable that they're going to be assholes for life. I'm convinced on my theory about being able to change certain companions outlook through doing tedious "good or bad" deeds/dialogue but without changing them. But I hope soon we get a chill companion who doesnt need to have a secret to be interesting or cool, just a lil companion who want to be buddies and help.
It just occured to me that Gale would just have been perfect as some kind of ~Dorian Gray storyline. A mage obsessed with his own beauty and fearful to age.
