Why? Out of nostalgia. I definitely don't remember meeting an overpowered vampire (cheezy) ally when I first played the game.

Many believe that the new companions are annoying in forcing their way into one's party, others say that they don't match the original companions. You'd be surprised how much hate Beamdog gets for ever including those NPCs in the game.

I simply don't care about them and will use the mod to restore the EE to what I wanted in the first place: a port of BG games I remember to the 64-bit era.

In the end this is a mod: it's entirely optional. If someone doesn't find the new companions annoying and/or offensive, they can skip it entirely.
