Just tried out the hirelings and it is extremely bad. You have to use the appearances given, can't change the background, limited sub race selections (no wood elf and others), its very poorly implemented.

Being able to make a full custom group is an extremely fun procedure which was possible in BG1 and 2 using local LAN multiplayer.

Another reason for disappointment.

Something I was surprised about was looking through some early 'class tier lists', a lot of people are rating rangers the lowest.

When I made a ranger in EA it was one of the strongest weapon damage classes, even more damage than rogues and they can also trap. I was literally just wanting this one build for a hireling, but I can't pick the correct race and background.
