Those three party members are honestly probably the most stable throughout. Beast is generally considered the most forgettable though, but it’s likely a symptom of him not really having anything crazy going on compared to the rest of the party. Loshe is great throughout, and actually the only party member you can later ask for her opinion on various important NPCs you’ve met.
Fane is very obviously the writer’s pet, you miss out on a lot of background lore without him. Though he was written by Avellone (just without the typical angst his characters usually have), which shows.
I think Avellone also wrote Nok-Nok in Kingmaker, who was also not angsty at all.
Yup, I would switch Ifan for Fane anytime. Way more interesting back story. Also, I just disliked ifan. When I played with him I just spent half of the playthrough wondering when will his personality evolve or become a bit more interesting. It never did.
