Where do you get the "they are creating new content for companions" from a one-line tweet "Thinking of all the actors we�re going to call back to the studio"? It's going to be a patch not a DLC.
The only reason to call actors back is to record new dialogue and it sounds like they're calling back quite a few actors too. They wouldn't be doing that if they were just restoring bugged or unused content, which there is a lot of in the files, including a lot of unused recorded dialogue. I certainly didn't expect they'd be calling back actors. I was a little hopeful after they got some of the companion actors to record some funny content based on internet takes about their character but to see Larian confirm this as a reality for the game is amazing. Especially Minthara most of all deserves a great deal of content and this provides real hope that it might happen.
