Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Do you think Minsc will be playable?

I imagine Larian might opt for a hybrid Origin-system where not all companions are optional player characters. At least when it comes to famous/heroic characters like Minsc. It makes ZERO sense Minsc would be a first level character, even making Minsc a lower level character to fit as a companion would be a stretch.

I like the detailed backgrounds of companions, but dislike the Origin-system as it comes with a host of negatives and only one positive.
