But still, I'm taking it as a huge positive that the approach to companion interactions with our PCs has been reworked, and hope that remaining issues with the changes can be ironed out before the release.
Very good news indeed! This won't quite solve all my issues, but at least I won't need to worry as much about Shadowheart being a scene hog.
All of the changes sound good so far, including the ones for Wyll. Looking forward to this.
