I voted for Minthara because I'm not going to side with the goblins. However, I usually kill Astarion when he tries to suck my blood and I usually kill Lae'zel because she's racist and evil. I plan to play on Tactician with a Wood Elf Feylock (not the strongest class), so I feel like I need to minmax my companions, which means I may need to keep evil companions in the party to fight the greater evil. (In my head canon, I tell them when it's over, the alliance ends.) If I respec Lae'zel as a Wizard, she's better than Gale and I don't need Wyll because I'm playing a Warlock, so at least I get rid of the weakling humans (oops, maybe Lae'zel is growing on me).
I really want to play (but not necessarily roleplay) a deep gnome shadow monk, so I expect I'm going to need a mercenary, too.
