Most likely we'll get option to create or add custom characters later on. Divinity 2 had it, so you didn't have to play with those companions either.
Well the problem is that empty-suit mercenary companions we create are the worst option of all. So I'd still rather use actual companion characters even if I utterly dislike them over companions I could create. But it wouldn't be an enjoyable experience having to adventure with a party of companions I loathe.
