Who are the so called "good" companions?

[Flowery]

I am on a good playthrough with a half-drow paladin.
I just noticed that most of my companions opinion about me is a slightly below than medium. Astarion disapproved with one of my decision, but the others (Gale and Laz'zel) always approved.

I googled for it, but I could not find a relevant answer.
I guess Shadowheart is good and Gale must be too, but what about the others? Will they leave me if I make bad choices for them?

[Grimmsch]

Karlach is the best. Forthcoming and honest.
Shadowheart is a puzzle but I think she is good under all of the layers.
I consider Wyll good too.

That's about it in the good department.

Gale is narcicisstic and acts selfishly despite his morale compass.

[Pixel_Kitsune]

Shadowheart can be brought around, Wyll is an out and out good guy. Karlach and Gale are both generally benevolent and good people.

Later on there is a Druid a Fighter/Druid and a Ranger that are all good guys.

Shadowheart is pragmatic that's the secret to getting her approval. My rogue and her got along very well because of that. Yeah sure I can help, but whats in it for me? "shadowheart approves"

[Strez]

Shadowheart is neutral, and can be influenced either way. Wyll and Karlach are good and difficult to keep with an evil party. Gale is seemingly leaning towards good but can be manipulated/intimidated/otherwise convinced to go along with a more evil party.

Astarion is generally more evil and/or chaotic leaning. Lae'zel is from an oppressive military society, so she leans towards lawful/evil. You can still be good and have high acceptance from those two, tho.

[Konomi☆Nanasaki]

Wyll and Karlach are definitely good.

Shadowheart and Gale I'd say are good too, but they lean a bit more into neutral.

LaeZel I'd consider neutral/evil (if you call not caring about others to fulfill your goals evil).

Astarion is the one that I'd consider evil so far.

Though this is mostly based on act 1, so I can't guarantee that things will not change, however that also means that it should probably be the spoiler-free perspective from the beginning.
Looks like there's more than enough companions for a good party, doesn't look like there's enough for a truly evil one though.

[Flowery]

Thank you guys, lots of help. I try to find Karlach next.

And how can I make for example Lae'Zel approve me? She just wanted to make bow a "subordinate" race NPC and I put her in his place.

I think Gale's story is awesome. Him and Shadowheart are my two personal favorite, but maybe thats because theyre really the only two ive been interested enough in to follow their stories

[WastingSanity]

Many would say the dead ones. You can respec them all though.

i actually think shadowheart is basically good and not neutral especially after beating the game.

[Ichbin]

Everyone saying Shadowheart is good, doesn't understand her story. She's basically Evil... Neutral Evil, but still Evil. She worships an evil Goddess, and will not hesitate in pleasing her.

Essentially, in my opinion:
Wyll: Lawful Good
Gale: Neutral Good
Karlach: Chaotic Good

Lae'zel: Lawful Evil
Shadowheart: Neutral Evil
Asterion: Chaotic Evil

lol didnt read the whole thing. I think Gale is ultimately good, through his personality. He just wanted to be more powerful and ended up ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ himself. Shadowheart seems good, though she serves the goddess of shadow so could end up leaning towards bad. Laz'zel doesnt seem bad, just looks down on things that arent Githyanki or warriors. Karlach is trying to escape devils and just wants to fight I believe so not all that evil either. Those are the only ones ive really delved into at all so theyre the only ones I can comment on

This is not true, certain Companions are to much of a good soul, that they will outright leave if you do Evil, they wont have it.

If you side with Goblins, Karlach and Wyll will leave, while Halsim will force you to kill him. Gale is going to whine about this as well, but in his case, you have a chance with a persuasion roll to convince him to stay. Killing the Nightsong, kills Companions too.

gale, shadowheart, karlach are the easy 3.
