Do we have a Larian source on respecing Origin companions starting class? I couldn't see it above.
Only Fextralife trying the press build, so far. But I have no reasons to think they gave him a faulty version of the game and they will remove the feature later.
Didn't he say that it wasn't confirmed that the feature would be in the full release? There was something like that somewhere that made me think he'd heard that something might be changed. But I'm forgetting what I've heard where about what. Not that this particular thing about changing origin companion classes bothers me, exactly, as I can presumably just ignore it. Though like you I do find it puzzling.
And, as you say, even more so the hirelings. At the event in Ghent, iirc (and I may not!) Swen mentioned using them to create, eg, a party of four barbarians. But if they come with a class already specified, does that mean we then need to immediately respec them from level 0? Or can we not make our four barbarian party with three hirelings?
I'm definitely perplexed and keen to hear more.
