Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Here is why companions in DOS2 were more endearing than in BG3

I don’t think any of the companions in DOS2 were all that interesting. At best, they were serviceable.

Seems kind of a weird point of comparison to me.

And tracking down Karlach was not Wyll’s singular purpose in life. It was just another task from Mizora. Given that Mizora obviously mislead him about Karlach’s nature, and his own morality and temperament, it would have been weird if Wyll hadn’t dropped his pursuit of Karlach. There was nothing off with that.

If you don’t recruit companions in BG3 they also move around the map, and you can recruit many of them in multiple different locations.
