I don't mind, if it fits the story and the characters are developed sufficiently.
At the moment, our companions appear to be plot hooks. Pushing us to meet this and that person in the web of the conspiracy.
You can get a fair amount of approval in early access without trying. I'm not worried about minmaxing quests like this is Dragon Age Inquisition. They're prickly, but not annoyingly picky. The wariness in camp feels earned.
read this forum carful again.
you will find the fact --
if there is no game player leading the game progress, "the five origin character" -- gale, wyll, shadowheart, lae'zel, astarion, they never can be the toril savior, in the fact, they will ruin toril without the game player's active.
the five origin character actural are only five selectable followers, they are more like "pawns(chess pieces)" that gods or god-like beings behind them.
the only thing they will make is -- ruin toril.
i suppose this is why the official description the five origin characters are "biased evil".
warcraft 3 arthas has the similar personality with the five origin characters, they will lured by the dark evil, and eventurally ruin or corrupt toril.
only game player stands apart with aloof position, can lead some of the five origin with toril back to the right destiny track.
