We know that
Karlach and Helia have been datamined as potential companions. Minsc is also referenced in voice files. But doesn't Olodan use Helias character model now or face at least? Could it mean that Helia has been scrapped? I would really welcome a more down to earth companion instead of a werewolf, like a male human Paladin or male Dwarf melee Cleric. I really don't want to deal with any vampire/werewolf nonsense on top of everything that's going on. That feels like another story completely, like the Underworld series. And probably both Astarion and Helia are forever out of all my parties because of what they are.

I'll have to agree with you in regards to the Werewolf and Vampires due to the fact that I dealt with enough of both in Skyrim and I never cared for either one of those. As for a Filborg or did you mean firbolg? not sure what that is. But I would Like to see either a Monk, Paladin, or even a cleric. Dual or multi-class would be cool as well.
Speak for yourself. I am Werewolf and Vampire big fan and generally like Horror genre.
I have seen all seasons from True Blood and The Vampire Diaries. I like the very first Howling movie and Ginger Snaps and Dog Soldiers to name a few Werewolf movies to my taste. I like the both the old Fright Night and the new Fright Night movie. I like all the Underworld movies.

I do not need a Werewolf companion. However I absolutely want Werewolf and Vampire monsters in the game as enemies. I know there is one Vampire companion and I have played Early Access. No and The Hag while can shapeshift is not a Werewolf.
This has nothing to do with being a fan of vampires or the horror genre. Or actually it does. I love a good vampire story and horror movies, especially fantasy or sci-fi. Which is precisely why I don't want some half-assed vampire/werewolf companions slapped on top of BG3 storyline just because someone thought a vampire character would be "cool". The vampires need to be done right or not at all. They need to be an important faction in the story of BG3. Werewolves would certainly be pushing it too far when we already have the vampire on top of the actual Mind Flayer / Githyanki / Absolute storyline and dead gods and whatnot.

I really hope Larian can keep it all together and not try to tell too many stories at the same time.
