Far from making the game more challenging, a smaller party size only serves to take away a HUGE amount of enjoyment from the game for me. Going from 6 to 4 literally means a 33% reduction of fun and enjoyment for me.

I have usually disagreed with the OP, but on this issue I agree 100%.


So, if there was 12 slots your fun would increase with 100%?


That's completely specious. The number 6 is being used by people, myself included, as a default number because that's what it was with both original games. It is perfectly reasonable to consider party size of 6 as a default size for a BG game.
