Using the EE companions and the ones from the original games is a good comparison between characters who are 2 and 3 dimensions. Actually the characters from Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II, can be compared the same way. Having conflicting personalities in the party was a great way of conveying this too, all the more reason to get people like that into the mix for BG3 A lot of people also conflate not liking a character with one being poorly written, which is always a pitfall critiquing them.
