Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Who would you recruit from Act 1 NPCs? (some spoilers)

So just as a follow up, but I think a system of NPC recruitment could also be a way to engage the player after they hit the level cap.

The main idea being that even if your MC is maxed out for the EA, you could then recruit Zorru or whoever as a lvl1 companion and level them up. Perhaps there is enough content to get a whole B crew going? Build up a gang from the grove or the goblin camp into real adventures. Sure they'd only have their "barks" from their one liners for characterization, but every NPC we meet does have some character built in just from that. To me this would be more fun than a Mercenary scheme, while giving a similar level of variety. Perhaps not every single NPC is recruitable, but it would be cool if it actually was every single NPC with a crazy enough roll hehe. Still you hit the fan favs at least, and also get telemetry on who people chose to have tag along. Even if it's just for EA Act I, that'd be a fun way to keep it lively.
