We know 'em all, we've liked many and hated some, loved a few, rolled our eyes at the obviousness of more still. The rogueish but with a heart of gold one. The cute or comic appearance but incongruously murderous one. There are many familiar archetypes when it comes to roleplaying companions.

None of the 'main' plot events are spoiled, however. Note: some spoilers for the appearance and behaviour of a relatively early companion NPC follow, as do references to one of the world's central and ongoing conflicts.
