I would like more companions that are both intelligent and goodhearted. More like BG2 than like BG3.

BG2 had:
- Imoen who is a goody two shoes and reasonably intelligent and stays with you no matter what, except when she's forcefully taken away
- Aerie who is a goody two shoes and, initial naivity and inexperience taken into account, is quite bright. Also totally overpowered class.
- Keldron who is a goody two shoes and quite wise, though he can be judgemental. Best magekiller class in the game, except for actual mages.
- Minsc who is a goody two shoes and not very bright at all, though very funny. Totally overpowered rage ability, especially against vampires.
- Jaheira who is probably the most annoying of the standard companions and is very useful for the base game, but becomes rather useless in ToB
- Jan Jansen who is a reasonable standin for when Imoen is unavailable.
- Anomen whom I always avoided, because boy is that guy annoying. His class would be quite reasonable though (human Fighter(7)/Cleric).

- Viconia who is evil and somewhat funny and quite bright; Keldorn will kill her
- Korgan who is evil and funny, especially for a dwarf, though not as funny as Kagain in the first game, and okay bright; Aerie will make an ultimatum, either he leaves or she leaves
- Edwin who is evil and the funniest in his over the top arrogance; Minsc will fight him

- Cernd who is quite nice and reasonable, but as a pure Druid isnt too useful; Druids just dont get that many good spells in AD&D compared to Clerics.
- Nalia who is literally a lesser Imoen
- Mazzy who ... well ... I mean she's not bad, but its not clear why she's needed. Just take Keldorn instead and you can use Carsomyr.
- Valygar who ... well, exists. Just take Minsc and you can use plate armor. Really all ranger kits suck, because they cant use plate armor and their specials are all meh.
- Haer'Dalis who is horribly annoying, also utterly useless, and will steal Aerie while leaving himself as well

- Obnoxious EE trash not worth mentioning that has horrible class choices, horrible stats, unbelievably godawful lines and rather bland sidequests.

BG3 had:
- Astarion who is probably the most evil and if he likes something, you can almost guarantee its a bad idea, and getting approval with him is a pain
- Laezel who is again super evil and is also quite stupid
- Shadowheart who is kind of moderate evil and her mind doesnt match her Wisdom score
- Gale who is kind of neutral but an uber creep, but is the only companion that approaches being actually intelligent. Sometimes.
- Wyll who is goodhearted but unbelievably stupid. On the plus side, you can level his approval by just talking to him in camp.
- Karlach who is again goodhearted but again not the brightest. Though a lot more bright than Wyll.

Make sure you don't filter on "games" only. Include "tools" in the listing,BG3 toolkit should be there. (At least I see it there)

Wouldnt interest me personally, but given Larians success, a further expansion of the company and doing more different game projects for different audiences make sense.

Yeah you're right, I just managed to test that.

But that's just... ugh. No objective marker, no mention in the journal entry, *all* other scripted events at camp just happen when you long rest normally, Zevlor is in a different spot than usual even. It's mind-boggling that I've already found so much relatively hidden stuff in the game but it's so easy to miss something as major as this.
