I gues that depends on how will that be done. O_o
I mean,
if you pick Minthara all she alterns in curent gameplay is that she adds single (even tho quite big and long) battle (against druids) ... and potentialy second one, that is conciderably shorter (in camp).

And that was single character ... it revoled around same main quest ... but it affected game outcome a lot.
And i cant say i was ever dissapointed by option to pick this side.

That was for a decision in the main quest, and it wasn't very complex.

Yup ... heard that before.
And i hope (read as presume) that Larian learned their lesson. smile

You know the main reason why i believe in this much involvement of our companions in story, is the fact that they are all "Origin characters" and we will be able to experience whole story through their eyes. Therefore i believe they will have major role in future story.[/spoiler]

The companions were all Origin characters in Original Sin II as well.
Considering that Baldur's Gate III seems to have had the same structure so far, I really doubt that it'll be different and better, though it'd be good if it was.

I understand it can be seen that way ...
I hope you understand that it can also be seen other way. :P

I skip the rest, bcs i dont like reasoning for someone else, so ... cant quite react on that one. laugh

It's not vague at all, so there isn't really room for interpretation.
The question asked if you would be able to change party members, and the answer was that you can, but then you can't after the first act.
