Copy-pasting from the other thread:
I'm extremely disappointed in how hirelings will apparently be handled. Was expecting and hoping for blank slate characters like the PC, not just more Origin characters with no origin.
Hopefully we'll still be able to launch multiple instances of the game and create our own Multiplayer game to create custom parties.
How cumbersome and taxing on the system, just because Larian can't manage to implement a decent custom party character creation.
Hopefully they have implemented character build saves? One have to start four instances and have to tediously build your custom characters. To put it more casually: I want to keep my PC for a while and not set off the smoke detector...
