You're fairly early in act 2, yeah. I personally thought the companion stories were really well written but it's maybe a little annoying that how certain things play out change depending on who is currently in your party.
slight spoiler about the part you just completed
All the interactions at the creche are obviously very different depending on whether or not you have Lae'zel in the party.
Re: Lae'zel, I figured as much. She's is on the bench because I didn't get her until I'd finished Act 1, but I would have left her behind for the creche anyway due to conflict of interests. I assume she'd betray me after the lich queen told the entire creche to go aggro.
Not finished, no, I think I'm either at the start of Act 2 or the end of Act 1?

Just killed the Inquisitor and stole the Blood of Lathander.

That's a fair assumption to make considering just how many times the game make the party want to kill eachother.

0 so far
(except for the time I killed Asterion but then went back to an earlier save because he is the only rogue)
