I do wonder if they will revise opening before 1.0 to include more future companions, like D:OS2 did.
This seems likely. They added the ability to rescue Shadowheart, and there are a few other things that indicate there will be further modifications. During the first meeting with Astarion, he acts as if you'd abandoned him on board, and Gale says he'd seen you "in a crucible's worth of blood" with "an Intellect Devourer nibbling at your ear", even though nothing of the sort ever happened. The final version of the intro may end up being very different to what we have now.
