I'm not sure if Barcus would make a particularly good companion. He doesn't have an obvious class, for one thing. Maybe a rogue, but that's a stretch. He seems like just a regular guy who's out of his depth. Not companion material. I could see Alfira joining up with us, but I think it shouldn't be until act 2. I like her in act one being just this person who's in mourning and trying to rekindle her passion for music again. But she also doesn't seem like someone who's got the chops to be an actual adventurer. I like her a lot and would romance her in a shot if the opportunity presented itself, but I think there's a lot of value in having just civillian characters who are weaker than us. It helps to actually mark the difference between a regular person and a level one adventurer.
Rolan is another character who I think could make a fun companion to recruit in act 2, when his apprenticeship inevitably goes sideways.
