@Snowram I guess you have more faith in Larian than I do, because I think they've made all our companions like this just because that's what they think is interesting and not because of any greater theme.
@RagnarokCzD What I mean is that in aggregate it's over the top. Like, if it were Astarion OR Helia, vampire OR werewolf, one or the other would probably be fine. It just feels like all of the companions together are sort of on the edge of being "too much" and a werewolf is just so... it takes up a lot of attention, I feel. Moreso even than a vampire if you ask me. So it's less her specificallly, more that I feel she'd tip the overall party over the edge. And I consider myself as having a pretty high acceptance for weirdness.
