Hopefully we get at least 10 companions...Bare minimum for a BG game. No excuse for <<6 is fine, if their are extra detailed...>> ! Pathfinder Wotr is already at 14, all pretty detailed with some great options and dialogues. I like the varied fantasy look you get versus BG3's realistic modern cosplay looking companions.
Wenduag and Lann are mutually exclusive. You can have both at various points of the game, but an early game choice will result in one of them permanently leaving the party down the road. Hence why they are both archers.
Delamere is Lich mythic path exclusive, along with several more that you can raise back to life. This is presumably to make up for the idea that the vast majority of the main companions may leave you later in the game for pursuing that mythic path.
Aivu (not listed), a baby dragon, is Azata mythic path exclusive.
Finnean is not really a companion (he is the talking weapon), but he does interject in conversations all the same.
DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT LATE GAME SPOILERS
There is another main companion not listed here, a secret one. I will not elaborate how, because they potentially join super late in the game. No one has been able to get them to join the party yet due to several earlier game events bugging out.
