Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Any chance for more companions story lines and races for choosing

I was thinking is that possible adding goblin Sazza and ogre Buthir for staring characters & companions. Seems their stories in this world are very interesting for more deeper. Of course adding Goblin & Ogre being playable race will be fun. And guest wouldn’t have much work load for engineers.

It would be massive work for writers and coders.

Seemingly, there is much more pressing work to be done

This would be a lot of work for extra companions (unless they added some in during Act 3 or something). It's a big enough update that it may be expansion-worthy if Larian is so inclined (or sequel worthy, in the same way that Baldur's Gate 2 was to Baldur's Gate 1). That said, I'd definitely agree that additional companions in general would really be amazing. I would love to see a companion for each class (not to be confused with subclass), even if some didn't have quite as deep a storyline as the ones included.

For extra playable races, goblin and ogre would be a little hard to include, mostly because they're monstrous by nature. I don't see most people you interact with treating them the same way as they would even a drow. That's not to say it couldn't be done, but there are definitely story elements that would really force your path for either of those races.
