I plan on doing multiple plays of the game - though in my first one my character will likely lean more toward the 'chaotic good' or 'chaotic neutral' side of things.
So that being said I will probably take Shadowheart and Lae'Zel given that I think their banter is amazing and Lae'Zel will be a great foil to the choices that I make. I also think that I am probably going to play a Bard and Fighter/Cleric seems like a solid compliment to Bard. After that I will likely examine the other companions that are introduced and pick one of them.
- Astarion is the one companion I have almost zero interest in. I can't remember a companion in a video game I have cared about less than I have cared about him... and I imagine even if I play through the game 3+ times he will likely not be tagging along.
- Gale's story could be pretty cool - but I'd like to avoid his item consuming stuff during my first play through. That seems like something that would be great for a second run.
- Wyll is interesting in that he will likely have a completely unique patron, which should be fascinating to interact with. But his volatility also seems better suited for a second play through to me.
