Minsc and Jaheira are fan service for old fans, but done terribly.

For me Gale was least annoying, but they are all as if coming from some cringe worthy young adult fanfiction.

For all the system mechanics they are good at, Larian can't write for shit.

Oh stop, they can write. They can't world build well but some of the quest writing in Divinity OS is genius as well as the stories of the characters being brilliant. Can't speak on Karlach yet but they are binded by D&D, they can't go nuts with their own stories which I think may ve the downfall of this game in my eyes compared to Divinity OS2. 

No, they really can't. Planescape Torment has great writing. KOTOR 2 has great writing. VtM: Bloodlines has great writing. Tyranny has great writing. Disco Elysium has great writing. Larian's stuff is way, way below that.

When it comes to companions, BG3 is also way, way below DA: Origins, which it tries to emulate in that regard.

Being tied by D&D has nothing to do with it - there's plenty of well written stuff for Forgotten Realms, BG3 is just not one of them.
