Your issue appears to be more on a functional and practicality basis. The truth of the matter is companions are more than just "holy trinity roles" in BioWare games. They all have their own personalities, interests, and provide different experiences in the story. If you've ever done multiple playthroughs with different characters, you'll notice how companions will act differently to situations and how those subtle changes can impact the story.

 

Personally I'd much rather DAI have more companions rather than only a few and BioWare adds another two as DLC. I find DLC companions, for one, never tend to be that compelling as they aren't fully realized. I also feel having too few companions in a game severely limits flexibility, options, and experiences. It's certainly more work for BioWare, but the entire point of game development is to always strive to make a better game than the last.

 

We'll have to see how this generation ultimately develops, but expect many RPGs to start getting a lot bigger in many ways, BioWare games included.

More is better.

In this kind of game, having deep characters you are interested in, is VERY important for the playthrough.

They need to add some characters of each class, so any player can create a party with all classes, and as much likely characters as possible.

 

If there were only 1 tank, and you HATED that tank, your playthrough would not be as enjoyable by any means, since the game focuses much on character development and their interactions. You would be really annoyed.

 

I really felt this in DA2, because I HATED ANDERS WITH ALL MY HEART. But he was the only healer of the game, and in that game that was a huge deal, more than in DAO.

 

So my answer is ofc NO, there isnt a thing called "too many characters" in a Bioware game, unless it means having uncomplete or shallow characters because there is not enough development time.

 

Also, keep in mind, you want to add characters who have opposite personalities of the same class, so you can choose a class no matter what is the alignment of your Inquisitor.

Alistair - Oghren/Sten

Vivienne - Solas

Cassandra - Iron Bull
