'''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.

Companions are playable characters who can join and fight alongside the player character. 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 romanced. Conversely, a companion may leave the party or even try to kill the player character if their approval becomes too low.

The default Class of companions can be changed. However, for story purposes, the game acts as if they still have their original class.

Origin Companions[edit | edit source]

Origin companions are playable characters with rich backgrounds and ties to the world and the events of the game. The origin companions can be recruited shortly after completing the Prologue. Each Origin can also be selected as a player character as an alternative to creating a custom character.

Non-Origin Companions[edit | edit source]

Non-Origin companions may be recruited at various points later in the game, and each non-origin companion has specific recruitment scenarios that must be followed.

Temporary Companions[edit | edit source]

Temporary companions are characters that can be recruited as party members and take up a genuine but temporary party slot during Quests or through world interactions.

Attached Followers[edit | edit source]

Attached Followers are characters that can be attached to the player character or other party members like Summons during Quests or through world interactions.

Attached Followers in the Prologue[edit | edit source]

Attached Followers through Acts One, Two, and Three[edit | edit source]

Attached Followers in Act One[edit | edit source]

Attached Followers in Act Three[edit | edit source]

Attached Followers in the Finale[edit | edit source]

Hirelings[edit | edit source]

There are 12 Hirelings available to recruit after level 3 – one for each Class. Each has their own name, visuals, and race. Their abilities can be re-specced at any time.
