Yeah i'm quite disappointed, i feel that they should have left the Origin system i Dos2 and focused on making a couple of companions more.
Astarion is an Evil vampire and looks like some kind of aristocrat too boot. So he is out.
Shadowhart is a follower of Shar(i don't care what people teorize about her, that is my first impression so that is what i have to go by.) Not to mention she calls herself "Shadowheart". So she is out.
Gale is actually quite plesant to be around even though he gives me vibes of not being totally upfront with me. Not a huge fan of his backstory though. So he is in for the time being.
Wyll is also quite pleasant to be around, a bit of a showboat, but there are worse character traits. Sure he seems quite weakminded and stupid by agreeing to torture an innocent man to get info from a goblin, instead of just torturing said goblin instead, but atlest he seems sinciere in wanting to do good but not really getting it right all the time. But he is kind of in for now.
Karlach occupies the main spot so unless i mod the game to allow for a bigger party she has no room in it. Her backstory is on the same caliber of Gales though and also a bit cringe. So she is sidelined.
Laezel is an Evil Alien racist that shouts at me and is generally obnoxius. So she is out.
Haslin, Seems like a nice enough dude, i would like to get an ingame expanation to his physique though. Was he the designated lumber carrier since ha was a boy or what? He is probably in.
Minthara dies by my hands so even if she wanted a redemtion arc it's to late.
Minsc And Jaheira. I liked them both in the originals, but i have no interest in seeing them in this game.
so i guess i get enough for one party, but not much variety or flavour in it.
