Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Can't get hirelings

Greetings everyone. So for whatever reason I can't hire any hirelings. I've completed the requirements as far the internet is telling me but the npc will not give me the option for it. Did I do anything wrong? And does anyone else have this issue?

what level are you
how many people are in your party

I'm not quite sure what the requirements are, but at one point when I went to the camp to rest the relevant NPC had an exclamation mark above their head and there was a new dialogue cutscene where they explained hirelings. Have you had that happen yet?

it unlocked at level 3 for me

That was the same for me, as soon as I reached Druids Grove and you visit the camp NPC, he has an exclamation mark. Level 3 also makes sense, because from then you can choose the subclass for your hirelings. Note: If you have a full party, especially a custom party, then you can't hire hirelings because you can't drop custom party members.

So, do you need to be level 3 or have visited the grove? Sure hoping someone will publish a guide book. Ok, took a party to level three, and can get hirelings. Anythng in particular happen if you dump all origin characters at camp and go with hirelings and custom?
