Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Hirelings : confusing and limited. We need full customisation. Also, full Custom PC parties in SP.

Point of order. In looking at the Hotfix notes, it says that Hirelings can fully adjust their appearance and name through the Magic Mirror. I've never used the Magic Mirror yet, does it allow you to change which voice a character uses as well? If that's the case, than I do believe that this implementation actually is fully customizable companions, albeit not through what I would consider "normal" means. If you can respec their class from the ground up via Withers, and then completely change their entire appearance, voice and name via the Magic Mirror, you can absolutely have a fully customized party. No? Of course you have to wait to hit level three before you can even buy hirelings, so for quite a bit of the beginning of the game you'll be forced to use the narrative companions. After level three, though, it does seem as though a fully customizable party awaits... if you've got the gold for it.

Edit: Just realized that if you can't change the race of the hirelings in the magic mirror then it isn't actually full customization. So, again, better than before, but still not really what we've been asking for.
