Haha, I always end up splitting the couples as I can't stand half of each.
I just can't do that. I have in the past, but it makes me itch, so I always take both or neither now. Though I don't rush to the temple if the one I don't like of each pair happens to fall in battle.
My preferred party wouldn't include any of the "canon" companions, though I don't mind most of them. In fact, my dream team of the non-EE companions would probably be Xan, Tiax, Skie, Eldoth and Viconia (or maybe Faldorn), though I don't think I've ever played with them as a party together as I like playing casters and/or thieves myself. But perhaps it's a group that would be complemented perfectly by a beserker fighter (copyright Warlocke) ... maybe the playthrough after this next one!
