Yeah , controllable companions aer necessary for good RPGs. That's why the Fallout games sucked so completely.

That aside, i still think controllable companions are necessary for D&D games and real time RPGs.

Nah. If you're going for controllable companions its a sign you need to ditch the real-time crap and go turn based.

Particularly in NWN where opponents go from bow range to in your face in about 6 seconds. Controlling multiples simultaneously isn't worthwhile. Or particularly fun.

Then make it fun. See JA2 where you play with a big team in turn-base or Temple of Elemental evil offer great combat moments. It's just a mater of creating scenarios complex enough and situations that require though and tactics to solve and it will be fun. Teams are important because it lets you createand explore more complex and interesting quests. Even something as simple as crafting or combining items like in old adventure games would increase the potential for creating great rpg quests and multiple solutions for these quests.
