Not gonna lie, I hope they post something else with a little more info today. I think people expect too much. I was expecting this level of stuff, except one companion per day, over the entire week. Instead we got it all at once.

... We literally learned nothing about Davrin and Harding... The most basic information you could have. " She can stagger enemies with her bow and arrows and can shred armors... " ..Really ? You don't say ! That's totally not what we would expect from an Archer... and what we've already experienced. The same for Davrin, nothing we wouldn't guess.

Instead we got it all at once. For me this level of information is ok, i don't want to be completely spoiled about the companions before playing the game. My tiny disappointment came from the use of the tarot cards, that we already seen before. I was hoping to see new in game images or gifs of the companions, but it's not that big of a deal just something i would like to see.

I'm assuming they'll be launching videos throughout the weeks, possibly complimented by a blog post.
I found Taash's description much more interesting:
Blunt and straightforward. Taash is a mighty warrior, who wields dual-axes and breathes out mighty flames, igniting enemies with draconic fire

The thread with tarot cards begins with "To begin our Companions Week, let us first reacquaint ourselves with the #Veilguard"
That suggests there's going to be more.

I'm actually happy not knowing more than what they look like and some basic background facts - the rest I want to discover myself. What I do want is more information about gameplay and, particularly, I want to see the CC!

I get the feeling it's hard to take something from in-game without spoiling a bazillion things. Even the high level combat video is from the same mission that had parts leaked 2 years ago, so it wasn't "new" and I suspect we can see something in it for like 0.5 seconds that they didn't actually want to show.

So, mage companions only have 3 unique spells, and they share the heal (Replenish) and Time Slow. It is the same with rogues, where both Harding and Lucanis share the healing potion and whatever Adrenaline Rush does. Fire-breathing Taash sounds fun.

With those ability names, Emmrich is a Berath's fan. I expected Harding's healing ability to be based on her "unexpected magic", but looks like she's just throwing healing potions like Lucanis instead. There are more shared abilities than I expected there (time slow/replenish for mages, andrenaline rush/shoothing potions for rogues). Only Davrin and Taash don't share anything, but War Cry/Dragon's Roar and Heroic strike/Dragonfire Strike might just be renamed version of the same skills.

Well that confirms it I guess. Barrier and guard, or at least a new updated equivalent aren't things. Just healing magic...which everyone has access to. Probably lore breaking healing magic.

cool! but the way they posted it make it seems that the Q&A is what we can expect for rest of the week? when they announced the roadmap it really seemed that it would be something like everyday a different companion maybe they decided not to show everything they planned to avoid spoilers, since there are people complaining? I guess that's not it, as it would be weird to call "Companion Week" if we are getting content this Monday only, so we're probably getting more things tomorrow or later

Their personalities may still sway me to do otherwise, but I feel that there is really no reason mechanically to take two companions of the same class into the party.

It doesn't seem so. Lucanis and Harding's healing abilities is a potion, so it seems they'll just throw one instead of using a healing spell.

Their personalities may still sway me to do otherwise, but I feel that there is really no reason mechanically to take two companions of the same class into the party. The big issue with Davrin and Taash is that they both seem to possess abilities that target fire-vulnerable enemies. Lucanis and Harding on the rogue side, and Emmrich, Bellara and Neve on the mage side target enemies with different weaknesses, so using them in combination is still viable. Taash is going to be more offensive, but I do wonder how much she and Davrin will differ from each others.
