I still wonder whether Minsc and Jaheira will actually be full companions like our EA team, or recruitable only in the sense that they can join us for some particular missions they have their own interest in. Personally I’d love it if we could have our core party of four but occasionally supplement it with guest companions who have their own scores to settle for specific quests (like Halsin and/or Barcus for Moonrise Towers),

Like I've said before - Jaheira should be lvl20 - what business does she have in traipsing about with a Snots 'R' Us band of adventurers?
Solasta did something similar, with a core party of four but the two remaining slots constantly filled by temporary NPC guests.
LOL! Something very close to that was used in Might&Magic VI
And that was in an age where, to boot your computer, you had to chisel an "autoexec.bat" file onto a slate every morning ...
