I see no conection ... You presumed there will be 7 Origin characters ... okey, lets put questions about that number aside, and work with that.
So you created 7 Origin characters ... And then allow to people only take 3 of them at once ... Instead of 5 of them at once ...
How exactly does that affect quality? O_o

Says who?
I mean, yeah im aware that people are often getting sick of our curent 5 companions ... But keep in mind that we are talking here about cases where people have often thousand hours, out of 20h content.
Also, please keep in mind that as stated countless times before, nobody forces anyone to expand party limit to 6 ... Meaning if you wish to play with your 3 companions, while everyone else is sitting in camp poking fire with a stick and thinking about cloud shapes ... you can.

And yet that is something we have promised as far as i know. :P

Can you provide some examples? :P

I have missed this.
You are here for last two years, so i dare to presume you noticed that countless people countless times allready mentioned that, they dont give a shit about ballance, and would be perfectly okey with game being unchanged ... since that is kinda exactly what the mod gives us. So, we allready tryed it ... most of us at least ... and gues what? We love it! :P
In other words: Adding more go the game some good ... its fun. Dont damn it till you try. :P

Thats cute ... As if some designer theese days would even presume that there is some "nobody is whining" option present.
Nah, we both know (or at least i sure do, and i totally believe that designers do aswell, especialy after 2years of EA) that you can only decide who will be whining and what about ... but its existence is inevidable. :P Either you will have idiots whining about their own ignorance of clearly stated warning ... Or you will have other people whining about missing most desired and demanded option since EA start ...
Choose wisely.
If my comments bother you, there is nothing easier than telling me to stop. I mean ... I won't ... but it's easy to say.
