Harry and Ginny makes far more sense. Harry and Hermione were never depicted as anything other than good platonic friends, while Hermione and Ron's mutual attraction was teased heavily for half the book series. I think Ginny's character suits Harry well (her character as depicted from book 4 onwards, that is, when she starts coming into her own as a character). If I have a complaint about their relationship, it's that it started late in the series and felt a little shoehorned as a result. I'd have liked to see some early pangs on the part of Harry for Ginny in Book 5, but I guess he was hung up on Cho at the time.

PC: Barbarian (possibly multiclassed, I'll wait and see how the new class abilities pan out before I decide. She's a pirate, so maybe a Barbarian/Rogue would work?) Eder: Fighter (he was a dependable tank in PoE1, I see no reason to change him now) Xoti: Priest (need dedicated support and healing, and I am shipping Eder/Xoti so hard right now, so she stays in the party at all times) Serafen: Cipher (he's a pirate, my MC is a pirate... they will be best buds) I'll mix and match the last party member.

I'd like to see more class abilities that allow for a DPS paladin spec. I know that's not the primary focus of the class, but as a melee class I feel like it should be possible to set them up that way. At the very least they should have some anti-undead abilities a la DnD. More active combat abilities wouldn't hurt in general.

I feel like the Bastards have to be a friendly/neutral pirate crew who provide a quest.

Looks like a huana aumaua, and possibly a moon godlike on top of that.

It's got to be Eder and Xoti. That is my OTP, until such a time as it is proven to be a terrible idea.

British? Speaking as a Brit, I thought that lady had the most obnoxious American accent I'd heard.
