I've been theorycrafting about six parties (of which I'll probably initially play 3 at most, considering how long the game is) but somehow I just don't ever seem to find a good spot for Wyll.

That's partly Minsc and Jaheira's fault because I really want to see them interact with some of the other fan favourites, but Wyll... he's a really really nice guy, he doesn't subtly get under your skin like Gale does, or literally suck your blood like Asterion. Despite having a demon tagging along he whispers to I'm afraid he'll just be super friendly with everyone and it will be pretty borning. I know it's unfair to gauge such things from the EA.

If it turns out they are only 5th tag-along companions after all it will be both bad and good, because I''ll have to rework everything.
