Its not a personal attack, it was a reminder that you could calm down your over the top rhetoric by a lot of degrees. Take it from Raylan Givens:
You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. You run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.
And now take a good look around the things
you post in this forum. Maybe there is a reason people tell you to come down on the regular. And since you really have brought no arguments to the table, this topic is done for me. If you want to be treated with and get respect you should make
stronger arguments, not try to overcompensate your insecurities with
stronger words.
I really would hate it, If they kill off every character not in the Party. Is that already a given or an assumption based in DOS 2?
As for party size: I'm with Tuco and Niara, it should be a party of 6. D&D has so many classes and possibilities, that limiting oneself to four characters only feels crippling. Plus it's tradition in the BG franchise to have 6 partymembers.
Sadly I think its a given. Pretty sure they confirmed their plans to do so.
Still a solid no for party size in the wild, as for reasons above. The limitations only to have 4 at a time make for a more interesting story imo. BUT if they dont kill of the others you could at least switch companions out from time to time. So best of both worlds. The old games also worked off of very different rulesets and were often just a pure hack and slay with the occasional spell.
