People will spout the trite excuse that "4 men is the recommended party for tabletop sessions".
But that's a pointless "apples and oranges" comparison. P&P with 4 people to consume in short bursts and a single player campaign sprawling across 80-100 hours are two very different things and beg for a very different degree of variety.
Meaning that, yes, a party limited to four is abysmal for variety.

That said, we already had a good dozen of threads about this very topic, included what's literally the most popular one in this section: https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=679595#Post679595
At least until the one begging for more bikini armors won't top this as well.

"Need" is overrated. This is not really about what's needed, as much as being about the enjoyment that comes from opening to an exponentially greater number of combinations.

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
