I dunno why so many people have problem with PFH ... its just their form of presentation. :-/ And honestly, i like it MUCH, MUCH, and once more MUCH more than those awkwardly scripted scenes we get on E3. -_-
Im somewhere between: "Yay!" and "Why the hells i follow Larian Twitter, when every single important reveal is happening everywhere else, but there. -_-"

Change up my party on a whim, decide to switch out Gale for Wyll for a bit and later on switch back. Its how I played BG1 and 2, I use every companion that I can. And being told that I can't do that just leaves me disappointed and feels like a completely wasted opportunity for the game.
I dont see those two things excluding each other ... You still can have large cast, it would simply just not contain other Origin characters ...
I mean, if someone asks me if i would like to trade permanently pissed Shadowheart for daddy Halsin ... i would be all in. Same with full-of-himself Will traded for Volo for example. Or i dunno ... Astarion for Alfira. (even tho it would not last long as we know :D)
You talk about it as if you were supposed to stick with mindless zombies after Act 1 ... I dont believe it would be the case. If you kill some important NPC
Zevlor, in that Gate-Batle
... another one will get his post, so the story can continue ... personaly i see no reason to expect any different with companions. O_o MAYBE ... we simply trade tadpoled party for non-tadpoled party. Is that so bad? :-/
I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are!
