Here's a hopefully unbiased poll, assuming I understood how to make it, as per

I've never given it much thought in games before, so getting the different perspectives here is, as always, interesting even when I don't ultimately change my mind.
How do you feel about potentially being able to change a companion (Minsc, Halsin etc.) or Origin character's (Astarion, Gale, Shadowheart etc.) starter class? Not asking about adding additional classes to them via multiclassing, but changing their level 1 class. Naturally there is more nuance to this than "yes/no/don't care" so the options aren't quite that generic and I think I've phrased this appropriately to reflect that whether or not you choose to elaborate.
Personally I think their default classes shouldn't change for the sake of the narrative, but I'm not opposed to say Shadowheart using the other domains Shar governs or Gale being any of the wizard sub-types.
