If it were up to me, they'd never have been added. The game really didn't need to pull at nostalgia to be popular and instead it hurts fans of both scenarios, those who like the returning cast feeling they didn't get enough of a spotlight or simply the wrong type of content, and those who like the origin companions feeling like too much was already devoted to the returning cast.
You realize that we also would prefer them to not have been added rather than butchered like this ?
I am just disgusted by what Larian has made here. What's even the point of claiming you love a serie and wants to make the follow-up, if it's to just mangle the cameo and distort them into something that not only they never were, but which is even downright anathema to their original character ? Who could have actually played BG1+2 and thought this parody would fly ? This leaves a terrible taste in my mouth and the feeling that Larian was just throwing BS and didn't wanted to follow-up on a serie they liked, but rather to spit on a serie they wanted to one-up.
