Personally hoping for Ydwin, Rekke and Konstanten to a lesser extent. But I just hope in general that they rather upgrade some of the sidekicks to full fledged companions rather than make new companions with the expansions.

Decided on pale elf Soulblade/Devoted who wields a single 1h sword.

As someone with no beta access, I am torn between soulblade/assassin and soulblade/devoted for my first playthrough. The assassin would probably use sabres and the devoted would use a greatsword. Which one you guys think is better and/or more fun?
