Can someone that has finished the game make a list of recruitable companions? After Conquistador and seing the nature of the game I think some might be missable and it would be great to know the possible full rooster. Britain: Morcant, Alfe. Eydis is at farm at your village. Aife is at Perth. Rest you cant miss. Seems there is a lot more to these companions however and specific interactions involving them in comparison to Conquistadors where they were mostly just a set of Traits with exception to one camp encounter with most of them.
Consider the named Npcs more in line with the few tribal characters you met in the new lands who are all wrapped up, part of, and have their own quests.
Yeah, Conquistador had a lot of characters, but they generally usually only had one unique scene - everything else where they figured was a generic scene that looked for random party members with the right personality trait.
Conversely, Vikings has relatively few characters, but they have much more fleshed out and involved personalities and roles to play. I'm not sure which I prefer, honestly. They're different approaches with their own merits, but I kinda liked how fresh the Conquistador model was - the Vikings model basically fits into the mold of most any party-based RPG you can name these days.
Having a lot of different followers with their own unique but fairly loose personalities felt more like being a leader, I thought - you're in charge of a bunch of people who you get to know, but there's always the bit of distance between the commander and the follower, and I dig that. On the other hand, though, it's hard to deny that there's more actual plot related to your party members now, even if it does feel sometimes like you're in charge of the Super Friends.
