I like it a lot in BG1 where you have a big selection of companions to choose from. You are not forced to take companions you don't like. It's a big deal, actually.

I would definitely be willing to trade some companion storylines and voice acting in BG3 for a larger selection of companions. Especially since everyone in BG3 has been written to be over the top special so that they are interesting as protagonists. A party where everyone is extra special doesn't work. They are all just competing for attention with crazy storylines and the one who gets lost in the chaos is the players own PC who SHOULD be the protagonist.

It's a D&D game. I don't want a pre-created protagonist and will never play as such. D&D is all about creating your OWN character. It's about time for Larian to understand this instead of push their origin characters down everyone's throat.
