So, there being mercs in the game? Rumor or confirmed? If so are they to fill in for umm dead origin characters

. Would rather have NPCs that have a non origin background. Heck I would be happy if “Tav” is an actual NPC that is a blank slate class/race wise with a backstory based on what you decide IF your main character is one of the other Origin characters.
Still would rather for Halsin, etc to fill the non origin ranks. Some of the existing Origin characters get under my skin

but they play a vital role. My Paladin would never work with a vampire so there goes my Rogue. My Paladin would never work with a demon bound Warlock, so there goes another. My Paladin would never even give the time of day to a priestess of Shar… Y’all get my point. Lazael, Wyll, are pushing it LoL. So if push comes to shove Wyll is the only Origin char my Paladin could overall tolerate. Let’s hope someone can find traps…
