I'll be happy if they have dropped the Gnome Werewolf Bard companion. Too many edgelords and snowflakes in the cast already. I want someone simple and ordinary to balance all that fantastical nonsense. And I can do without a "vampires vs werewolves" party dynamic when it's completely unrelated to everything. In fact I could do without a vampire companion too when it's just slapped on top without a reason aside from "vampires are cool".
Couldn't disagree more. Everyone is pretty much a basic human or some sort of mild effort "human+" already (with Lae'Zel the only notable exception). I want more variety on the casting for potential companions.
Variety is always good, but everyone is a bit "extra" to my liking so far. It's more about backstory than race. Larian should focus more on companion personality than coming up with more and more extravagant backstories for them.
I hope they reveal more companions soon. We need a larger cast of characters.
