I will try to run (to mix BG and Divinity) a "no horns, no tails, no fangs in the party" plan.

I'm curious wether it will be possible. I can understand that many would like more exotic companions and I hope Larian will try to please all/as many players as possible. But there is only one (highly improbable) way Larian could make me to not buy the game, forced player identities/visuals a la Witcher and Co., other than that I would possibly accept even 12 lizards out of 12 companions ...
