The best part of how your HQ is always on the move means you'll be deploying from a variety of places at any given time.

While it's heavily implied that you'll be wandering the open plains solo, upon taking any mission you'll be able to select from the full Van de Linde roster that's been amassed so far.

We can actually see this in the new trailer as three characters venture across the Bayou together, as well as buddying up to rob trains and survive what looks like a main story mission involving a mansion being torched to cinders. The leak states that the mechanic is "similar to Mass Effect or Dragon Age" when it comes to character selection, and as those games handled individuality and character-building perfectly, perhaps choosing specific characters means you'll get specific accompanying dialogue that fleshes out their backstory?
