I actually dont mind them being "speacial" but it does feel like it is the case because they are meant to be the origin characters. As long as not special doesnt mean uninterresting I dont mind if they are just "ordinary" people.
I really hope that the other companions will not be origin characters also.
Do we have any info about that? I know that the characters they introduced so far were only the evil and neutral ones, with the other side companions coming out at a later date but do we know if they will also be origin characters? Because if so, so much freaking work will have gone into the origin characters that would have been better used eslewhere its going to be staggering. I will likely never even try one of them, as I simply dont want to play as them.
But more companions is always good and yea, having some of them be more down to earth wouldnt be a bad thing.
