KotFE has turned out a great expansion story wise and the boss battles really impressed me, however, I feel as the interaction between protagonist and companions has been going down ever since the first few chapters, there is a visible lack of side quests relating to companions, specially the main characters and the old companions you recruited.
Even if side quests aren't viable there should have at least more dialog between them, I mean, I romance one of the companions but my character hasn't had one meaningful conversation in quite a while. Yes, I know they have a lot on their plate right now and "it's not the right time for that kind of thing" but hey, The only moment they'll be free is after the game ends so we players need to have those conversations now.
To sumarize, I think the story is being rushed and the interaction with you companions taking a side note.
Please add more interaction with our alliance, they way it is now is too lifeless and the weak point in a otherwise a great story
