I can agree that upping the number of party members would liven the game up considerably. We had 6 person parties in BG1 & BG2. More companions means more story for us to uncover as we please. I come from the RP aspect of desiring more companions. I want companions that hate other companions and you have to work to make them stay or are forced to choose between the two as they fight. The points above especially become true as more classes and races are added. (I would love to have an awakened tree companion. I'd even settle for an awakened bush)
