Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General [Synopsis] Panel From Hell VII

I know it seems like I'm being un-pleasable, but when I was hoping for 'good' companions, I wasn't thinking companions from the older games, was sort of hoping for someone new. It feels so weird starting at level 1 and having Minsc and Jaheira being companions on the same level. these are legendary characters in the Baldur's Gate universe and they're going to be slumming around with a bunch of level 1s? It's just weird.

Also, even if we don't get them at level 1, and it's not until much later in act 2 or something that we do meet them, that's a huge chunk of the game without any 'good' companions. Most people have established who they want their party to be by the first 10 hours (imo at least).
