Elsewhere, player concerns will be addressed by the introduction of numerous new companion characters. “There's been a group of people complaining about the fact that the companions are snarky and they have to have an opinion,” Vincke reveals. “But we’ve only put the ‘evil’ and the ‘neutral’ ones out there. We haven't put any of the ‘good’ characters in yet, so I think that will balance that.
“I didn't expect people to be that sensitive to how the companions thought of them, and the fact that we didn't put the ‘good’ characters in there,” he admits. “I didn't see that one coming. In hindsight, it's cool because it means [players] care.”
Yeah, we already knew that Karlach and Minsc were coming (if you paid attention to the data mining) and Helia seems to have been replaced by Jaheira, which I’m cool with. I thought y’all were saying that more companions would be revealed. That is something I am certainly not expecting.
