I don't think anyone has actually tried to gather data on this on a community level before. Again, this poll includes datamined companions, turn back if you are averse to spoilers! (Though I get the impression you'll meet everyone within the first hour of the game after full launch anyway, simply because of the origin concept alone.)
Up to 4 options are allowed in this poll for the people who intend to use the Origin system. For everyone rolling custom MCs, I think you can still only vote 3, or use the fourth slot as a flex vote if you're undecided on who your final main party member will be.
Notes on the datamined companions:
- Karlach is now assumed to be a Barbarian, not a Paladin as previously predicted.
- Minsc is a Human Ranger who has a strange hamster accompanying him named Boo, for those unfamiliar with his role in past BG games.
- Helia is a Werewolf Halfling Bard. She was datamined earlier on in the EA, but there are now signs indicating that she has been scrapped. I am including her in this poll in case she is still set to be a companion in the final game.
I also have two secondary polls in regards to classes for people intending to play with custom MCs and a choice of Origin character for those using that system, which would be interesting to compare with the companion poll.
(I hope I haven't forgotten anything this time.)
