I don't even want to be able to change the hirelings or origin characters. I don't even want to be able to change Tav. What I want is to start the game with 4 custom characters, even without a magic mirror and all that jazz. I don't want zombies, but if I can just have some companions built from scratch with nothing to say, that's fine. If they can do one better and give them some generic dialog, even better. If they allow you to choose where to plop them into the story, bonus points! (E.g., you can start with two Tavs in the ship, gain another Tav on the beach, and maybe a fourth Tav shows up at camp, or maybe even more options, like having a Tav in a jail cell, in the middle of a fight with some creatures, etc.) Everything after 1 Tav + 3 vanilla Tavs is bonus; I'd be happy with the minimum, though.
