Companion changes

[msbranin]

I have not had a chance to try, But can we manually add in a companion without having access to alien archive 3 and does the leveling stuff work or do we have to wait until the alien archive 3 is actually for sale?

Yes you can build them in FG and it will have full functionally.
See video it shows how to use them.
