Had my fingers crossed that they would be adding a tanky Vendrien Guard companion to give us another tank option when Barik tries to leave you as he throws his fit over working with the enemy. I guess that would be too much to ask in a simple patch since it would mean new voice overs, dialogue additions, character reputation abilities, and so on. My first character had to be deleted as I lost him when I was siding with the oathbreakers and didn't realize yet that he's the only companion you get that can fill the standard tank role. Tried using verse as a dodge tank and sirin with emotion disengagement kiting....couldn't stand it.
