Karlach is supposed to have a heart of gold, which would be more exciting if Zariel hadn't rip it out and replaced it with an Infernal Warmachine, but hey she probably like puppies at least.

And Wyll tries to be good, even if he sold his soul to Mizora, at least he had good intentions!

Both grim dark as Hell, literally, and that is what passes for good guys.

Yeah. I definitely think we needed at least a couple more...

"There is some messed up stuff happening around here and I am a brave hero who wants to help out of the kindness of my heart" types. I imagine writers for these games are potentially getting sick of that type of character and they want to add some edge to a lot of them. But I still enjoy at least a couple of those... and a well written/interesting ones would have definitely increased the odds I played an origin character at some point.

It definitely seems like the 'companions' (not origins) have more of a slant toward being your typical good guys (outside of the one obviously evil one).

I know they weren't direct companions, but I always thought The Witcher 3 did 'good guys' really well. Ciri, Triss and Yen all had very different personalities and motives - but they were trying to accomplish the same thing and be "good". Vesemir, Lambert and Eskel were all different as well, but could fall under being 'good guys'.
