Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Main character point of view (is this a fair analysis?)

No, I don't think you can change who the main character is...whoever you start the game as that's your protagonist...everyone else can be sacrificed or die or whatever but not your main character. So if you start the game playing as Astarion, then you are Astarion and everyone else can die and the game continues but if Astarion dies you go back to the last save or checkpoint and try again. There's no changing the main character.

Also in main story moments and at camp when talking to party members and other NPCs you can't change to someone else to pass the tough dice rolls for you...you are on your own.
