Is there any news about the full list of bg3 companions?

[magickblog]

Since the middle of last year, there have been rumors that the general content of bg3 has been perfected, and there has been a recruitment of players to participate in the secret test.

But why until now there has not been any content explosion about beyond the ea version?

Especially regarding the number of companions and classes, it wouldn't hurt to say it now, right?

So far, I only know that there will be a female tiefling who will be our barbarian companion.

There are also many data miners who point out the existence of an older halfling female as well? Seems to be a druid? I know druids become teammates for sure, but there are just too many potential druid teammates, unknown older female halflings, male elf druid leaders, and Jahira?

There seems to be a lack of a female long-range arcane spell caster with high intelligence and agility..Just like bg2 Aemon or Nalia，It just makes up for the lack of companions for female mages and rogues and archers.（Shadowheart can't fill the Dexterity role, and her ability to wear medium armor conflicts with her Agility stat.）

Finally there is a monk and paladin companion missing.

All we've got to go on are the data-miners and the rumors. Although in the last Panel From Hell they did confirm that Minsc and Jaheira are going to be companions, so there's that.

Why only minsc and jaheria from BG1+2? What about Xzar and montaron? I always found it stupid how you have one party in BG1 and then in BG2 you start with a different party and the story assumes you travelered with them in BG1.

Montaron is dead. Xzar might be dead, he died in baldur's gate 2 if you accomplish his quest. I am only guessing that the quest as been done by Adbel Adrian and so on Xzar is also dead.

There is no news so far. It appears that none of the testers have broken their NDA yet.

Which is understandable. If I signed an agreement in good faith with a company, I wouldn't violate it either. I know not everyone does, but for me at least, giving your word still means something.

It usually also means you have to pay hefty fines for breaching your nda, if you are caught...you'd need very good reasons to do that.

They didn't make the thread, it's not their question.

Of course to know from the secrets: it's interesting and so excitedly heartful.

You know? There were questions? for example?:

Can you break the plot?
Do you see the difference between love and lust?
How do you think the profession of a hairdresser, manicurist, makeup artist, cook differs from the profession of priests and paladins?
What kind of companion would you like to see?

Another thing is interesting, will you "remake yourself" for the scenario of companions or try to compete for your own choice and change the companions for yourself?
(have to clarify here: Companion "change" is not because you brainwashed him - But because he / she himself / herself will want to change for you/your actions .)



An example of how to break the plot:

I just want to know what other companions are out there. Gale's backstory seems extremely mystical, so the mage companion is him.

Will's class seems to overlap somewhat with Gale's, but is quite interested in the story of his female patriarch.

Shadowheart seems to be the pre-determined heroine of this game, according to the setting.

But I'd also love to have Minsk, Jaheira as companions ......

If there was more information on the companion, then creating a character for my first playthrough of the full version of bg3 would be a lot easier.

In fact, you can say how many new companions there will be in the future, just a number, not to the extent of breaking the confidentiality agreement, right?

So far, I only know that there will be a female tiefling who will be our barbarian companion.

There are also many data miners who point out the existence of an older halfling female as well? Seems to be a druid? I know druids become teammates for sure, but there are just too many potential druid teammates, unknown older female halflings, male elf druid leaders, and Jahira?

There seems to be a lack of a female long-range arcane spell caster with high intelligence and agility..Just like bg2 Aemon or Nalia，It just makes up for the lack of companions for female mages and rogues and archers.（Shadowheart can't fill the Dexterity role, and her ability to wear medium armor conflicts with her Agility stat.）

Finally there is a monk and paladin companion missing.

If they didn't die in BG2, they are possibly still alive.

Caveats:
- If your an Elf you are probably still alive (aside form ending up the victim of misadventure)

- If your a human, you're probably dead, or really old...if your Elmister, you're both, he just doesn't know it yet. Or if you're an idiot and got turned to stone.... yea.

Or made use of lichdom, cloning, or other methods of life extension.

I wouldn't exactly spit out my drink if Edwin shows up, for example.

You are not wrong.
But most 'ordinary' humans do not have the INT to be those things you mentioned.

As for good ol' Edwin, I would rather like to see he survived somehow.
I would absolutely love to see how Larian explained him, and to adventure with him again, as he was so much fun to adventure with.
