I've now got about 30 hours in the game, and the number one issue I have is that the party size is too small, by at least one character. And I firmly believe the reason has to do entirely with Divinity: Original Sin.
In BG3, you have a party of characters who must work together to achieve their shared goal(s). To be successful, the party will generally require the following things:
- A healer who can keep the party on it's feet.
- A tank of some sort who can help protect the squishier folks and dish out some damage.
- A magic user who can provide access to mystical tools.
- A utility character who can accomplish tasks like opening locks, disarming traps and generally being rather sneaky.
Actually, you don't need a healer because you can throw food and potions at people. And anyone with decent DEX can open locks, disarm traps and be sneaky.
With 330+ hours the easiest party was me as a Dex Ranger, Lae'zel, Gale, and Wyll. And I dont do cheese.
