I have been thinking about trying some of these companions for a run through the tetralogy (BG-SoD-SoA-ToB) for a few years now. But I also have noticed that they have revised during that time (with future revisions mentioned).
So I was wondering: What is the current status of these companions? Which ones are now “complete” ?
Sorry if I missed a post/update that explains this. Thanks!

Kale BG1 have been updated recently. Others revisions are still in the work, but even in their current states, all NPC are playable and enjoyable during all the saga.
Don't forget to install both the BG1 separate mods and the BG2 mod to have the NPC in all the parts.
Did a small update:
-Updated SkitiaNPCs to use the correct variablename so her final love talk can fire if conditions are met. (Thanks Belegur01 for reporting)
-Changed one of Vienxay's personal quest outcomes to allow her to get a Return to Evermeet ending.

Thanks for the reply.
Given how much time playing through the entire series takes, I'd prefer to use the "final" versions of the companions, if possible. Hence my question about whether any of the companions are now in (more or less) their "final" form. It sounds like that's not the case, which is fine, as there are plenty of other mods out there that I have yet to play and I'm fine checking in on these again later.
I'm getting back into playing the BG series for the first time since 2020! I loved Vienxay the first time around for BGEE and SOD, so I'm very excited for these companions for the series as well! Thank you so much!
I'm having a slight problem with Rulendo and Boris – I get to this point in my conversation with the dwarf, and no matter which answer I choose, the conversation ends. Rulendo, on the other hand, won't let me continue fighting until I talk to the dwarf – which, despite my best efforts, I can't do.
Edit: I kicked Helga out of the party and the conversation with Boris ended, Rulendo is happy. But I suspect this isn't how it should be. As for Helga, I've also noticed a few times that she starts some small talk, I have no idea who she's addressing it to, and then the conversation ends right there. Nothing further happens.
Does Vienxay have any race/gender/alignment specific content if you romance her?
One of the issues I had with Viconia romance (beside the fact that it was male-only) was that you kinda had to go good/neutral aligned for it to feel satisfying. Does Vienxay have the same amount of content/does it feel satisfying if you romance her with an evil charname?
I wrote it so you could be any gender, race, or alignment. Vienxay has the most variances in her ending out of my characters because PC race does matter a little bit in what possibilities that ending could entail, along with romance and personal quest outcomes.
