Then on top of that you have to make them interesting because if some companions become insanely important and have massive narratives, then the ones who do not have huge narratives/importance will be complained about - this happened with D:OS2, so it is a thing.
Yup. Beast's story was sadly lackluster compared to all the rest.
All companions in DOS2 felt amazing and had these awesome impactful stories with a ton of backstories. Then there was Beast who was a pretty cool character, but unfortunately his story felt more like a minor side-quest than a companion story. Very little difference between having him with you or not.
