As much as I loved BG1 and BG2, I think it is unfair to compare the rather large roster of companions in those two games to BG3. There is much, much more integration of companion into story here, and the rather amazing voice acting and motion capture to consider.
That being said, I do wish they had included a shorty or two to round out the roster.
Even better... make it Jan Jansen so we can hear him take Wulbren down 5 or 6 notches.
YES! YES TO JAN JANSEN!
