Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback SPOILERS: Reasons not to add new companion

I think the reason Karlach not a companion yet is because she a Oath of Vengeance Paladin and that not in game yet.

I disagree with most of this, it's pretty clear cut that Minthara Will not be going with you to act 2, and I'd argue that all companions will be recruitable in act 1, and about Mizora, she's probabbly a pretty powerful succubus that Will serve as antagonist for wyll questline, also highly doubt she'll be a companion, and we meet her only in act 2.

I might be wrong about Meeting all companions in act 1, but still I think this post is a huge stretch and neither of those 2 Will be added to your party, I believe no Monsters will too, only character with playable classes, so there is another reason for Mizora not joining

If you like Karlah you can speak about it, if you do not like it, you can also argue your position. It's simple
Karlah is compared not with evil heroes, but with good ones that are not yet in the game at all, there was not a single hint of them in the first act except Karlah which is not like the archetype of goodness what players usually would like to see

If you don't like Karlah, yeah, you can talk about it and you can avoid her in the game easily. But asking for her removal from the game is quite different thing.
I also like to play good aligned characters and prefer good aligned companions. So you saying that your idea of "archetype of goodness" is what most players would like to see is quite a stretch. I personally hate characters like Aerie and I think I would enjoy somebody like Karlah.

Anyway, I hope the record sales budget will be enough to develop so many well-written companion, make us ALL happy and not have to make choices about what to develop and what not.
If suddenly they decide to make a choice, I just expressed my position.

There will most likely be plenty of optional companions however adding an aasimar to chapter 1 while alot of people have asked for the race probably wont happen it would most likely happen after the race is added or in a later chapter.

Side note Shadowheart is Neutral Evil (She has evil cleric actions in certain locations)

Secondary note laz'eal and Shadowheart are the only 2 current companions in early access.

3rd note most likely several additional companions will get added as well as a merc option they have already discussed. If you find the RP post I posted on here a while back I posted some commentary on ideas regarding that that could really explain how they could be implimented outside the origins characters in unique ways for additional companions.
