Hello Obsidian.

 

I realise that an NPC is a massive undertaking, what with writing, quests, programming, VO and whatnot.

 

The current number of NPCs would be less of an issue in a four-character party, but six? Aren't we all going to have roughly the same party?

 

My proposal is to allow us to make our own NPCs off-the-bat, IWD style. I can see where that might cause balance issues (but then again it shouldn't really) but the low-ish number of possibilities is an issue for me.

 

I'd be really happy with a 50/50 party, the characters I've created being mooks. I know others will hate the idea, but then again it's just an option.

Already being discussed, here: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/60149-1-pc-plus-companions-or-create-multiple-characters-plus-companions/page__st__40 (with a DEV post, no less).

thanks MReed mods feel free to delete.
