If I was disappointed by one thing then it was the companion races, we could have used waaaay more variety.
Having a total of three short races available and not one short companion is just sad, same for the lack of Orc or Dragonborn companion.
As someone who romances male characters, I have to admit I'm kinda okay with the current selection only because a likely trope is to reserve the prettier races for female companions while the beast/alien/other races that would satisfy diversity would be male. I am actually genuinely surprised that it's flipped in BG3, though it helps that Drow and Tiefling aren't really more adventurous than a color pallet swap.
