I'm really torn over multiclassing. I think it's really cool and I'm already thinking of fun combinations to try! But I also like 8th and 9th level powers down the line, so I'm not sure I'll be able to bring myself to multiclass on my first playthrough at least. >.<
One question though. With this change, what happens to the Named companions? Before you would be able to choose if they were multiclass on level up, now you have to pick on creation. So, are they pre-picked to be multiclass or not? Or maybe can you select if they are multiclass when you recruit them?
