Probably old news to most people here but it's really neat how the order of recruitable NPCs in Chapter 1 is based on your choices, so far as locking you out of a companion.
It was all seamless, the kind of thing you can only appreciate on a replay.
Case in point: I restarted and, to try something different, ignored the Old Sycamore questline until I was done with the Temple. I thought Tristian getting wounded and remaining unavailable was part of the story, so imagine my surprise when he joined right on the spot once I dealt with the bear. On the other hand, I didn't manage to recruit Valerie after freeing her from the Old Sycamore prison, probably need to wait until Chapter 2.
