Hoping there are some better companions later because so far Shadowheart is the best by sheer virtue of not being utterly awful. Asterion and Gale are both super annoying (the former for being a a piece of shit, the latter for STOP EATING MY MAGIC ITEMS YOU FUCK) and Wyll is boring.

mild references to party members spoilerThere's one of two underwritten characters that you can get in act 2, and like 2 legacy characters from BG1&2 in act 3.

Okay I googled it and

spoilerSeriously? Fucking Minsc and Jaheira? This shit sucks. Also wtf why are there 2 druids when there are no bards or sorcerers, and the one paladin that exists is evil only? Guess I better reload my save to before I killed Astarion because there are no other fucking rogues...

You can respec anyone anytime you want, so it's pretty irrelevant. Just use characters you like. Also Halsin was only added late due to "fan-service", hence the doubling up on the class.

You can, but you can't change Astarion into a Dwarf or Shadowheart into a Half-Orc or whatever :(

spoilerThere's also the hirelings and co-op real people friends, but yeah.

Kinda disappointing with the lack of variety in classes and races.
