Hello,
First of all I want to apologise in case such questions were already answered elswhere (they probably were), yet I would appreciate if you could answer me anyway - one more time , as well i'm sorry about my not-so-great english.
To the point:
1.) How looks companion advancement at the beginning of their membership in our party: let say we have party where everyone is at level 7, then we meet another companion and want to add him/her to our team - what level will he/she have - is it fixed level for specific character (eg. Sagani will always join as with lvl 6) or their level will scale to our - so it'll also be at level 7? And then - we can only influence this companion advancement from that point or can we distribute their talents starting from level 1 (maybe there will be feature in the options to enable/disable auto-levelling)?
2.) Are there any possibility/plans of adding 3 more companions (barbarian,rogue,monk) to the game - maybe in DLC/expansion pack? As the mercenary creation feature is awsome, and i will use it surely on my n-playthrough , it is always better to have some companions with actual "soul and character" - especially in this type of game.
3.) How strong impact have our actions on the companions? Eg. playing as a good guy, while having paladin from "dark" order as a companion will affect his talents - or just what he says? I know that this matters when our main char is paladin, but is it true for companions as well? Can companions leave us if they dont share our means/perspective?
4.) i've heard that there will be additional content - will it be in form of expanding world (build in the same "game" as the main) or will it be separate story- like Throne of Bhaal for Baldurs Gate 2?
