Im honestly wondering how hard it was back then to create a companion ... "compared to BG-3"
I mean, all characters looked basicaly the same, only few collors was changed so we can distinguish them. As for voices, i heared that old BG games contained only barks and some cruicial dialogues and the rest was silent. Not sure about personal quests, since i didnt play it.
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
