Im aware, but you were still using Shadowheart as example ... so it seemed to me like you are still focusing at that "
allow companion to be different class" instead of intended "
allow companions that are curently unaviable to be played as some close, but different class until they will be ready to full implementation ... and then simply change them to what they allways were supposed to be"
But if you wish to start topic in topic, why not ... as long we dont forget the original one.
I would argue for opening multi-classing entirely (at least for the main PC). And if not entirely for companions, then at least do it as PoE:D did it and have the options for 2 or 3 multi-class combinations for each companion.
As far as i know multiclassing is allready confrimmed ... so i dare to presume that someone in Larian is curently thinking about implementation.
I mean the concept is easy on paper ... but how to explain to completely new player that his character is level 5 while he can also be level 2 Cleric and level 3 Druid at same time.
Another question is how present multiclassing so people dont get caught into seemingly OP traps that dont actualy works (like 1 level in Barbarian for Monk, to have double Unarmored Defense)
... ... And, of course, if Larian intends on forcing each companion to have a singular class
I dont think they do that ...
We just get companions with their respective classes and what will happen afterwards, during their leveling will be completely up to us.
I wonder more about classes that pick their specific subclass on level 3 ...
I mean there is probably not much difference if Gale was studying Evocation or Necromancy ... or if Astarion will be Thief, or Assassin ...
But how about our Paladin companion? You cant quite create character fiting to Oathbreaker, and then allow it to become Oath of Devotion (and vice versa
)
Yes im aware it could mean that we would be able to play Wyll as 1lvl Warlock and 9 lvl Barbarian/Druid/Bard/somethingelse (potentialy) ... but in the end why the hells not?
I would seriously hope that they'll at least make a companion out of each class. :|
I hope for that anyway ...
So far the most interesting class is Monk for me, it would be shame to be forced to play Tav if you want this class.
Also it would seriously improve variability in party members ...
You know what i mean ... if you have Fighter only, there is not much to choose in question: who will be tanking? ... but if you have Fighter, Barbarian and Paladin to pick from ... well, that is compeltely different story.
