I'd have to concede, that though this is the story section, my primary reason for wanting to see the character recruited into the party has more to do with the gameplay of the game, than the story of the game, if that makes sense.

I think I will likely be disappointed, perhaps ultimately needing mods to give me what I wanted from this game in that particular, but still I can imagine many ways where I would just completely let it slide, because I think the game needs more companions. Since these characters are already here, and already part of the story, whether pointed or not. It just seems like the sort of thing that could be done better when Charname/Tav/Durge is at the helm on this score and where they get a proper send off. In the same way the other two characters got a nice treatment. Or the doppelganger thing I suppose, but then we'd get no extra companion that way, which I think would be a miss. Too few companions I think also plays into this wish.

ps. Just her whole outro story for her in BG2, that one had some after-the-fact bowling in it too hehe. She's been changed a slight bit time and again, but then she was also kinda the same tune, with the bark still on it. That was consistent at least. I think it all works, if they'd just branch it enough and keep the focus on that sort of stuff, which lends itself to the gameplay stuff. The story I can suss out for myself while playing. One of the cool promises, never quite delivered on in BG1, was that somehow all those choices would feed on into the next one. BG3 has the same challenges as BG2 did relative to BG1, but anyway, I still like the BG1 model for some of this stuff. Get em into the fold and let the player weigh in on it all heheh.
