2. would require an ending where you actually talk to all your companions though? I had Astarion in my party the whole time, I finished his quest with
completing the ritual and him becoming a super vampire
but in the end of the game dock scene, I never got a single bit of dialogue with him. Just RNG comments that mean nothing. I'm glad yous got an ending scene for him, but I guess because I never romanced him? All I got in many re-rolls of the scene was reaction lines to something Minthara or Minsc said.
Unless the game actually changes to include a conversation scene 100% guaranteed for every companion, 2. would still be more than the game is willing to give companions?
