I'd have liked a second good-aligned origin, at least one shorty, and for at least one or two lower maintenance party members. For one thing, angsty back stories just lose impact when everyone has one. For me the specialness of Tav comes from her being the group decision-maker. I expect to discover who she is as I observe how she responds to the situations that confront her. That assortment of situations is enriched by the texture of story and choice contributed by each companion.
