'''Companions''' are playable characters who can join and fight alongside the player. Each has their own motivations, personalities, and affinity that increase or decrease according to the player's choices. At high approval levels, many companions can be [[Romance]]d. Conversely, a companion may leave the party or even try to kill the player if their approval becomes too low. | |||
Since the game's initial release, the default [[Class]] of companions can be changed. However, for story purposes, the game '''acts as if they have their original Class'''. | |||
''See also: [[Camp Followers]].'' | |||

== | == Origin Companions == | ||
[[Origin]] Companions are playable characters with rich backgrounds and ties to the world and the events of the game. Each Origin can be selected as a player character as an alternative to making a custom character. These origin companions can be recruited shortly after completing the [[Prologue]].<hr> | |||
