Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Multiplayer and Custom Characters

Now that the wardrobe has been implemented I think it would be beneficial to let players have their own custom character even when there is already 4 custom characters.

I have a friend group of 5 players, this being a 4 player game, when one of us can't make it one of us takes over and plays but we are forced to play someone else's character. Now that the wardrobe is in play we should be able to have as many custom characters as we do players, respecing everytime someone can't make it is annoying and heavy on gold.

How this would work is 3 players are already in the game and want to continue their campaign but their regular 4th is busy so they hit up the 5th player. Now that they put the 4th custom character in the closet the 5th player can join and have the wardrobe as a list of characters to pick along with making a new one, boom no more hassle of messing with your friends character and needing to respec.

Yep, yeah. Yes. MMm hmmmm...

I scarcely see the point of having the wardrobe at all if the characters inside are still permanently taking up a slot that no on else can use. Really just... so weird guys... why?

...and let there be an opportunity to expel the character!

please...

There is a mod for it already

My current team:

There is! And it's wonderful. I even tipped the author. But it's still a little buggy (recruited characters stop following, issues with the wardrobe, potentially game-breaking, etc.) It's not the author's fault - he's done a lot of work on it already!

This is system that already has all the necessary components inherent to the game, it's just not implemented for some reason. Respectfully, Larian definitely needs to get on that. XD

Confused, there's a mod to fix this problem? How does it work? It lets you have NEW friends come in and give them their own character when the game already has a "full wardrobe" ?

It does, yes!

It's called "Recruit any NPC - Transform NPC Into Playable Character - Make Full Custom Character Party - No party limit - Resurrect Dead" on Nexus Mods (wasn't sure if I could link that here).

Version 1.3.2.0 removed functionality with "true" multiplayer character/wardrobe feature, but you can still recruit/create characters via a spell.

Version 1.2.1.0 allows for multiplayer/wardrobe functionality, which is what I'm currently using, but it seems like it was buggy, hence the update.

This doesn't solve the issue entirely, especially with the chance of bugs that might be game-breaking, but I appreciate the author's hard work on trying to provide an alternative where Larian has fallen short. Larian should definitely be the one to implement this feature. I say that with much respect and appreciation for the rest of the game!

This version actually got rid of the major bugs, the only one important left is that you can't travel between zones if your custom characters/clones or others added by the newest version of the mod are left at the camp. But of course this version cannot fix bugged companions added by the previous version.
