Will the game warn us if we alter an Origin…..
character’s class that WILL negatively impact their story?

They mentioned you could for example make Shadowheart a non cleric, however certain aspects of her story and dialogue go bye-bye….

Will we be warned? Or is it a blanket if you do alter a class, it’s like that for everyone?

The only thing that goes away is her cleric specific converation options. The game narratively will still consider her a cleric and her story remains the same. (Going by what's been said but I guess we'll see tomorrow)

well my question is - why does her changing class = negative?

Supposedly certain story elements vanish regarding her.

Nothing will negatively effect anything. Its just going to look weird if you respect gale to a bard and is acting like a wizard in a scene

It's pretty obvisous, some stories move around their original classes. Wyll has to hunt his patron, Gale is an archmage who crossed Mistra, Shadowheard is a lobotomized cleric of Shar in search of her memories, those 3 will probably just have the wrong triggers in dialogues, etc, if you change it.

I don't think that is true. They will simply use their Original char class when they react and use their story aspects. Will be dumb to respec Shadowheart and then see her reacting in dialog as a Cleric, if you respec her to a warlock.

But I could be wrong. I do not plan on re-speccing any of the companions. So it's not really a concern for me.
