I meant it in the sense of they were the stars of the companions - featured most in publicity and fan worship rather than in game, story-wise. Pre-release Astarion was probably the most talked about companion yet now he is hardly mentioned. Halsin was talked about less (will he be the missing origin character and all that) but now he only features on the forum because his Act 1 and Act 2 quests bork.

In the good old days aasimar used to be considered a level higher for XP needed to level up due to the racial bonus they got. The +2 CHA +2 STR (?) and the rest. They were the paladin race par excellence. Tieflings were +2 DEX and +2 INT for your rogue.
