I believe it has already been stated somewhere that at the very minimum, we will have access to "mercenary" type characters and that it is likely NPC's might join up for specific quests - though how much control you would have over them is open to debate.

If memory is not serving me well today, I blame it on the anesthesia and pain meds - was just released from the Hospital after surgery and my brain is currently being devoured.
Hey hope your recovery goes well. Best wishes.

I was specifically discounting any "mercenary" or quest-specific NPCs. Those are not companions in the true sense of that word. I am only speaking of party members that you can have permanently in your party, AND who are fully fleshed out and over whom you have full control. These are the only ones that will matter to me.
