In short:
would a slow but steady increase of open companion slots (1 more every 2-3 levels) make the game more interesting/exciting?
Long:
For me, what's keeping me focused on this type of games is:
* Leveling up and gaining new spells/skills
* getting more and different characters into my party
* exloring / tresurehunting
With current game progression it seems to me that in the beginning you get alot of levels/additional companions way too fast and in the later game this progression is significant lower.
Maybe it would be alot more interesting to be forced with a lower number of companions SLOTS in the beginning and get more companions only later in game to keep the suspense-level high thoroughout the game. Maybe also lower the experiencepoint progression in early game a bit.
Right now you can get everything / 5 party members and level 3 within 10-15 minutes of gameplay (if you focus on killing all enemies in the introduction level at the ship).
Best would be to be forced to only get 1 companion in the beginning of the game and slowly gaining more slots for additional companions, maybe 1 additional slot every 2 level - and i am very sure they will implement the possibility of a 6 chars party in full release, but this should be accessible only from level 10.
This way the anticipation level would stay high throughout the whole game.
I doubt it would be difficult to implement - you can meet all those additional characters still quite early in game but you are limited in the number of player slots you can take with you.
