I would also prefer a party of four, and not a party of four supplemented by a gaggle of bench warmers back at camp, but four only. I'd rather get to know a smaller group of characters better and not to be fussed because there aren't enough "good" necklaces (or whatever) to go around.
IF they would do that, then no lizards please.
The Red Prince was probably one of the reasons I gave up on DOS2 fairly rapidly.
Nor wpuld I want a Jarjar Binks or anything similar forced into the party.
