that got me thinking actually..
with how close everything seems to be getting, it's a bit odd that the new companions aren't being hinted at more/working on more/shown to us more. We've seen massive changes with the dialogue/personalities/cutscenes/looks with all of the current companions and yet we're supposed to have, what 3 more coming? Why do I get the feeling that they aren't going to be nearly as core to the story?
Wyll is a good example of this I think. He's a little more out of the way, and just that distance alone makes him feel a little bit less of a core companion to me. Hell, Lae'zel, despite how much I dislike her, feels more like a companion because of how much focus she has in the tutorial. Imagine meeting someone 40 hours into a game, it's just not going to feel the same (at least to me).
