I found myself a little annoyed with the final battle, not that it wasn't cool and epic - it is - but because half my company were left idling in camp while all this epic stuff was going down. I think a necessary and logical change to the end-game "Gather Your Allies" roster should consist of any companion not actually part of the group. They'd not be under the player's control of course - but able to take part.
I'd rather call for Minsc, Jaheira or Gale than a bunch of city guards or harpers. Also the fact calling them in takes an Action meant I really didn't have much opportunity to call many of them in anyway, Mizora did make an appearance and Disintegrated the Emperor, which was bloody awesome, but I felt a bit cheated that the regular companions just weren't there until after it was over.
