But again, to repeat, it's really not about their formal alignment "tags" as such. What I want are at least three companions, distributed well across different classes, who will be very happy with me when I do exclusively "good" things and who themselves will only pursue "good" actions and choices. If their "tag" happens to be "neutral," that would be fine.
This doesn't seem that hard to be honest. Despite not truly being good themselves, Wyll and Gale approve of just about every heroic and/or compassionate thing I do not directly related to their own personal quests. Add in Minsc, and you have a full party.
Possibly. But since I am only interested in playing melee-oriented warrior classes myself (fighter, ranger, paladin, possibly monk), where're my rogue and my cleric? And no, don't really care about arguments that in 5e you don't need this or that class to fill certain roles blah blah (this not directed at you). Party-based D&D is about party roles for me.
