I’ve been hearing talk from dataminers that Helia’s data actually hasn’t been updated in about a whole year, compared to the other datamined companions being in a near complete state. She also never got an MTG card while everyone else did. Her data has supposedly been scrubbed recently too.
Prepare for the possibility that she may have been scrapped.
I'm hoping in patch 9 Pfh they will confirm how many companions we get
just looked it up - There are 25 companions in Baldur's Gate and 17 companions in BG2.
and for me lots of different Companion interactions and finding all the hidden npcs, and seeing how they interact with each other, getting all the hidden dialogs, and arguments, romances, was one of the reasons I Played threw the old games so many times
I have fears we will end up with 7 now, but I want to hope for more, I really want to hope.
