So far I have really enjoyed the companions we have so far gotten in BG3 but I have possible suggestions to the current system:
* I would really enjoy it if the maximum party size for the player party could be upgraded from four to six for multiple reasons
- The first 2 games and spinoffs based on their system had a party size of six, changing this could bring them closer to the original games to help ease older fans to the newer title.
- It would allow players to freely explore all the origin characters in a single playthrough without having to switch them out in the camp.
- A larger party size would allow players to fine tune their experience and difficulty more as they could make it easier or harder, and even explore more play styles/combinations.
- I personally find larger party sizes more fun to play with
* Additionally if it is not something already in the works, I genuinely think a game like baldur's gate should have a much larger selection of companions:
- Finding a wide array of companions and experimenting with them and trying to populate an area with them was one of my favorite things to do in BG:EE
- It would allow for more varied interactions, playthroughs, and perspectives
- It could be another thing to ingratiate players of the older games to the new one.
- They wouldn't have to have as complex stories as the origin characters and could have their own reasons to join the party such as attachment, indebtedness, greed, or some other reason.
- Certain existing characters could make excellent permanent companions that would stand out against older ones, like Us the Intellect Devourer if they were added beyond the introduction.
- For if/when more classes, subclasses, and races are added, there can be representation for them so that people can have highly customizable parties.
- It would be more of a great thing as I have genuinely loved the characters already in the game.
Sorry if the suggestions are not feasible or are faulty in any way, and sorry if I posted this in the wrong place or there was already a thread for this exact discussion as I have just joined this forum and this is my first post.
