The new update mentions the inclusion of a certain bard that can be controlled in the party, temporarily. This is brought up in the Dark Urge section of the update.
Obviously, it's probably referring to Alfira.
But how is that going to work, I wonder?
Temporary does seem to hint at Alfira - and I assume it can happen on Durge playthrough only (as her fate is not set in stone in other origins). A lot of folks wanted her as a companion, so I suppose it is an extra cruel way of fulfilling that request, and making subsequent events more impactful.
If that’s what’s happening, I think it should be a great change. I found her sudden appearance and disappearance from camp to be rather contrived. Her joining the group for a bit, should make it feel more impactful and natural, especially if she joins the group right there at the grove.
