I also wonder if they might bridge the gap with “mercenaries” to some extent. I think we’re still expecting this functionality. If such custom party members are wholly characterless then that probably won’t help much, beyond meaning folk don’t have to populate their parties with NPCs they actively dislike. But if they have at least rudimentary personalities, or such personalities can be modded in, then that might give an option for those who prefer more companions and are willing to trade depth for choice.
Mercenaries aren’t my cup of tea (but great for people who like them). For me what would help is knowing the remaining good (and neutral but good leaning) companions! Hopefully they are revealed soon! 🐻😊
I don’t think Lae’zel would need any changes as long as there are also enough good companions to pick!
