I'd still take my favourite brain adled ranger who talks to a hamster over these likely self inserts. That's how poorly these not mentally hindered, one dimensional 2D characters score in my head.
BG1 didn't have the same companion depth as 2 did which is likely also one of the main features players loved about the sequel. Sure there were some characters who you'd rather launch into the Underdark via catapult like Anomen, or Keldorn, or Jahaera, or Haer'Dalis, sometimes Viconia, definitely Edwin, and a few others, but they were still characters that added to the experience because of both their various personal quests and interactions with both the player and other companions.
And for added fun and insanity there was the option of giving the idiotic talking sword Lilarcor to Minsc just for the concept of how utterly chaotic that pairing would be.

Well Minsc is apparently in the game files so they’ll be ruining him too soon enough.
