Well, I would gladly swap Gale for Yennefer. One can only dream :P

I would swap the entire forgotten realms for the continent for that matter.

Yennefer? No, I'm definitely a Triss guy. Yennefer has nothing on her.

If I'm clear, I think we're all in agreement that we could switch Gale for Yennefer, Astarion for Regis, Lae'zel for Cahir, Shadowheart for Triss, and Wyl for Geralt...and the Forgotten Realms for the Continent.

Sounds good to me.

and of course Dandelion is already in the game

And in this game high ground is a pretty big deal

We should have sided with Vader against General Kenobi. Too little too late though. frown

You can already do that with some gymnastics (simulated multiplayer), but Larian stated custom parties are planned to be available at character creation (and then there'll be customizable generic mercenaries).

I'm strongly of the opinion that emotional baggage or flaws don't automatically make characters better written or more realistic. "Nuanced" is often good, but I like simple, fun characters too (and actually find them refreshing in the modern race for "depth", which often equals "drama").

Can I have a psycho intellectual? Debauchery is what I dislike about Astarion.

Oh shit you're right. I have a lot of screenshots depicting Roach's shenenigans.

Hmm. A kind girl. Well trained hunter or sorcerer who is not afraid to kill when threatened. Trust not easily given and who hasn't sold themselves out to any patron good, neutral, or evil. No sass, but a sense of some humor. No need for crazy backstory trauma. In fact I would make it so she would try to leave once the tadpole was taken care of and you need to a pass skill check regardless of approval to keep her or be in a romance with her. Her excuse is that the party is crazy and she wants to go home lmao. Her character would be the grounded one to balance the others out. Closer to the MC in a way I guess depending on playstyle. Maybe towards the end she will gain some secret abilities, but without knowing the story it's hard to say what. Point being she would be just another wrong place wrong time like mc.

I'm surprised that there isn't a dwarf companion and of the other classes, I would prefer a barbarian and a druid!

Ok here goes:


A stoic Dwarf Druid who goes on about stone and earth and hammers his foes with a thunderous Maul.

A neutral aligned Eilistraee Drow Sorceress whose master plan is for Drow to abandon Lolth and return to the surface. Pleasant and social for a purpose but proud, likes to compete with Gale. Natural enemies with Minthara.

Assuming we get a famous human barbarian and a halfling bard, that leaves...

Monk... Tilda Swinton's Ancient One without the Arcane. An ageless bald human female. She knows more about the Absolute and the events than she reveals to the player. Hard, mysterious exterior and unconditional destroyer of evil. Unlike Shadowheart and Astarion, she has an actual reveal scene containing a big, even shocking surprise. =)

I'll probably have to play all those characters myself. :P

I've said this before but it's important enough to repeat -- we need to be able to put together an entirely good party and we need have as many companions in BG3 as we did in BG2.

I want people who love monks to get a monk in the game but I'll never use them. I just hate that class. It has always seemed out of place in the setting and I just don't enjoy the class mechanics.

Likewise, I do like bards but it will be hard to put a bard into 4 person party.

One of the things I really liked about BG:2 was how most companions had a reason to join up and a neat way to exit the party after you helped them out. apart from the old hands, which meant I was usually rolling with Minsc Jaheira, possibly Yoshimo, and then I would rotate in and out people I met along the way. I kind of wish that was the case in BG:3 too but with the tadpoles I think everyone's personal quest involve being in the group for the duration.

I think I can roll up my request with many of the others here:

A half-dwarven druid pirate who speaks the Cant!

"Put yer backs into it, ye swamp-sucking whip jacks! Get that swag aboard afore darkmans; ere the Abbess don't take kindly to a scurvy sailor with a queer bung. Aye, we'll have some rum fun with that well-equipt autem bawler yet. Heave to!"

I don't care at all about my companions being "nuanced" or "flawed" because that's what's "realistic." If I wanted any of that, I can get that from real life. I play my cRPGs to get away from real life.



I love Eder so much, he was a GREAT companion. But Sagani seemed dull as dirt, to me.


I only took Sagani for Eder's interaction with the fox. Otherwise she rode the bench, along with Kana, the boring paladin bird lady and Grieving Mother.

Durance was an amazing bastard and it was interesting to see him torn down and built up through certain choices. The Zahua (the drug monk) was another favorite in the expansion.
