Sorry but no. SH does NOT count as good, at least certainly not in Act 1. And you can't count the neutral companions as "good" either. Thus far, Minsc is the ONLY "good" companion. So as things stand right now, my good PC will have to go with two neutrals and one evil companions. That does NOT constitute a good party, which means Larian is forcing me to not be able to play with a good party (one neutral among four would be acceptable). This goes against their assurances that we will be able to play with a good party.
You think they're going to add at least 3 morally good origin companions from the beginning in addition to what we have now? I just don't see it. I haven't kept up with the data mining really at all, but you'd think they have wanted to show a few of the good characters if they were going to be available from the start.
I hope you're right, and we do indeed can create a full good party from the beginning of the game, but I really don't see it. Larian doesn't really do good and evil, they like to make things gritty and morally ambiguous.
