Jonric: Will it be possible to have a party of more than two this time? Won't players tend to stick with the first ones they meet? And how much interaction can we expect with and among the companions?

Ferret Baudoin: There will be plenty more companions than you can bring with you. That gives you the opportunity to bring along the people you like. And ditch those loser do-gooders by the side of the road, if you like. You can bring up to three companions with you on your journeys - so welcome to a four-person party with all the main roles in a traditional party being represented - Fighter, Wizard, Cleric and Rogue.
