So what I'm hearing is that Gaius should be our traveling companion for the next few expansions.

I'd be all for it if not for what happened to Estinien. Since all male scions and their tag-alongs end up as the butt of distasteful jokes, it would be unfortunate to add Gaius to that list.

I wouldn't say no - though arguably it would have been better if it happened sooner when Garlemald was more relevant to the story.

Good point - Gaius' latest appearance being him in a rooster suit doesn't exactly inspire confidence. :p

Ideally, yes. Especially if the story ever takes us back to Ilsabard. Here are some other actors/characters that I think would be good to see in game:

Jason Momoa

Honestly? Yes. I'd take him as a companion, I find his whole story and development quite interesting and it has so much potential for a lot of interesting conflicts. So given that he doesn't end up as some comic relief sooner or later, I'd take him as a travelling companion anytime. I enjoyed his whole "I'm still a son of Garlemald" stance; proved you can learn to see some things differently without giving everything up that made him who he is.
Bit late for it, I agree with Theodric there, but still worth having imo.

I could see it working if we're going across the world to another continent. Example, finding out we need to go to Meracydia, and discovering a Legion was sent there and hasn't been heard from in a while. The legatus of said legion Gaius personally knows and is worried about, as said legatus never misses reporting in. He decides to come with us just in case things need to be smoothed over with the Legatus, along with several not-Scions or B-list Scions (Hoary Boulder maybe?). Basically get a reason for him to be traveling with us, and get some lesser used characters to go along with to Meracydia. Use it as an excuse to flesh out Gaius and those characters more.

Kinda wish Gaius became a more permanent character.

Either way: I'm all for more customization to fit all tastes so everyone can make their dream character/avatar in game.

It's really disappointing that the LoGH remake turned everyone into same-face bishounens.

I wish men were more manly in this game!
