I am very fine with 4, Pathfinder games have 6 and it is sometimes a chore to go through so many turns. The worst part has to be the buffing ritual you have to do at the start of each fights..
Well, thank god then this isn't Pathfinder, both for how the buff work (Concentration being a thing) and for encounter design.
Not to mention I would HATE to play Wrath of the Righteous or Kingmaker with a party of 4 too, if I have to be perfectly honest, so we have a strong disagreement from the the very initial premise, here.
Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
