I would like to see two female characters (I hope this is not another POE2 or DOS2 where female companions were lacking) This would be nice! ahhh. Really love both of those games you mention, (especially DEADFIRE ) but the companion casts were woefully lacking female companions. I wouldnt even mind if it was something like.. 3 female/ 4 male split. Or vice versa of course. But when its only 2 female/4 or 5 male, its really noticeable and is just like sigh. Especially if romance is a thing. So heres hoping! also where is the werewolf companion at! The most important question tbh.

So I was re-reading through all the lore info that's out and it seems like half-Fomorians seem to be a pretty big and distinct part of the world, so I'm guessing that one of the unknown companions is a half-Fomorian. (Maybe male since our full-blooded is female?)
So maybe the missing companions could be:
- female werewolf - male half-Fomorian - female human (since Khaldun was a stretch goal) or maybe a female Mourian

Oh shit that is so true!!! I didnt remember the name of the egyptian character in the stretch goal, so it is possible that Mal is going to be a companion as well, I hope so because she sounds so freaking awesome!!! I hope they dont change her gender like they did with Khaldun (I like this one being female better though) edit YAS

Also I'm glad they switched Khaldun's gender as well (you rarely see POC women as major characters in video games), but I doubt they'd switch Mal as well since they probably did it because they felt they had too many men to women.

nothing new but yas! healthy polyamory rep is so necessary. I dont know how my character is going to be yet because most of my characters are monogamous I would need to see the options (although Berath doesn't look poly, at least from his description), I would have loved a poly threesome with Anders and Fenris but that wouldnt have been healthy lmao but in POE2 I headcanon Teke, my character and Serafen joining for fun times.

The Waylanders twitter just liked my "where is my werewolf companion at" tweet lol I hope the announcement is coming soon Also, remember those interested in Amergin, this is how he looks like in the medieval era (he's definitely the same person just older, so I'm guessing magic kept him alive)

So are all the people we've seen so far from the first time period? I must say I have no idea what's going on sometimes.

These are great boys. And good news for all the guys who want to romance Amergin. He isn't straight according to Emily.

These are great boys. And good news for all the guys who want to romance Amergin. He isn't straight according to Emily. YAS I just saw it!!! Amergin is not my cup of tea when it comes to looks BUT he seems to be the most plot relevant character so it's nice to know he's not straight only like Bioware love to do

Awesome that we know this early that they arent hetero. Im hoping the same for the female companions. Hoping for all-bi maybeeee?

Yeah, it seems so, we know nothing about medieval era yet! That's quite interesting. I am looking forward to seeing how the second group fills out. Also glad that so many of the guys are options for m/m! I hope that applies to both time periods.

I'm glad Amerigan is available for a male protagonist. I'm going to be all up on Heraklios, but Amerigan seems like he'd be someone I'd like too.
I wonder if this means they're doing all bi/pan romances? That or maybe the fourth male companion I'm presuming we have is straight and Berath is gay. Either way, having three m/m romance options that are all companions is amazing and really ups the replay value.

Hoping for all-bi maybeeee? YEAH PLEASE I mean I want to roleplay a badass lesbian to romance that precious fomorian princess! And the hypothetical female werewolf ofc ๐๐๐ Three queer guys already, the odds are good for at least three queer ladies as well If this game gives me the experience I had with bi Alistair mod in DAO I think I'm gonna replay it a lot, I haven't been soo excited for a game in a long time and it's all thanks to Emily and how communicative she is with the fandom, other dev teams should learn from her and Gato Studio for sure. I will never understand how representation is more important than gamer's inclusion in RPGs which it's another way of representation where we tell and drive our own stories, like I understand writers to diversify their roster of characters but not at expense of gamers own in-game experience if that makes sense, we can always have gay and lesbian representation with non romanceable companions (which it's a thing that no RPG has done yet afik). Games with a set protagonist are another whole different story and we need more diversity of every letter of lgbtq for sure, more Ellie-like characters! edit. also updated XD (using the rainbow flag as umbrella icon til we know if they are bi or gay)

It's definitely a good sign and I'm hoping the ladies will be just as bi/gay as the dudes. It's definitely rather nice to learn so many guys are possibly open to same sex romance so far considering how disappointing other games have been currently, and they seem so open and friendly on twitter that it's actually quite refreshing.
Do we have any idea how many companions you can have with you at once? I've tried looking through a few of the vids but I'm still somewhat none the wiser unless nothing like that has been confirmed yet. None of the guys really do it for me physically right now, but I do rather like the bio descriptions of them, so I'm definitely more interested.
