I'm already tired of HAVING to bring astarion every to lockpick worth a damn. He's got a guaranteed spot on my roster because of it. Going somewhere with a sub par group sucks. Gotta take Lae'zel for the creche is annoying.
Yeah they should've kept Shadowheart as Urchin background, as it adds some flexibiliy. Granted not everyone wants to bring her either, but there really wasn't any reason to change the background except to pick skills for those that play her by way of locking in the background.
