I never liked games that limited party size, tbh. It just doesn't make sense from a story perspective. You have like 10 people traveling with you, but you can only have a few in combat with you. I always thought that was dumb.
Basically, if I have Gale, Wyl, Astarion, Lae'zel and Shadowheart as companions, why WOULDN'T my character travel with ALL of them at once?
Answer: It's a video game.
Bah. That's just dumb. Typical for video game RPGs, but dumb. Give me story reason. I can't have more than 4 because...
1. I only have 4 magic pockets. Nah. Not good enough.
2. Ah, 2 party members aren't feeling well or are recovering from injuries. How you'd pull that off in a vg, I don't know, but it would make more sense than, "Nope. Not going with you. You already have 4 people."
3. I don't really have much else than that. It really doesn't make sense. If they are traveling with me and are capable of fighting, why wouldn't I take them with me?
