I just have to ask in order to get this off my chest. Could Berwyn have been reworked to be an act 1 companion? Whereby, he would be a companion character during act 1, but after the palace of ice has been completed, he would stop being available as a companion. Therefore, all the new content, which is mainly post act 1, wouldn't have to deal with Berry, and the act 1 content would only have to deal with 1 variation of Berry and is already written.
Like I said, I'm mainly writing this to get it off my chest.
