Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General What kind of companions would you like to see?

I want a companion who doesnt instantly make me want to leave when I enter dialogue.

And someone who is actually chill with the current situation "it is what it is" vibes! I'm darn sick of being the only person who isnt a kill joy.

I also want a goat.

I agree with this. No gnomes and no bards please. I'm just glad Volo didn't become a party member.
I'm actually pretty happy with the companions we have so far, except for Gale ( he is well written, I just don't like him ).
I would love to avoid having special snowflake companions, especially tieflings.

However what I would really like is a good aligned HUMAN female character who is vulnerable, yet courageous and open, preferably a spellcaster, maybe a sorcerer. Imagine Bethany from DA2, but with magic. I would really love is she didn't have any angst or feel like she has to prove herself.

Another character I'd like is the stern rugged HUMAN paladin dude who is an all around good guy but he is a bit grumpy and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to meet his objectives and fulfill the deamnds of his mission. Tough love type guy with a huge scruffy beard.

I want them to be human, because I think a human majority in the party enhances the specialness of non-human companions.

That being said the one non-human companion I would love to have is a halfling MALE, because if we had to suffer through all those gnome companions in D&D games I think we finally deserve a properly written halfling. Just don't make him into a goofball, like a barbarian who carries a gigantic weapon on his small frame.



Because Cleric, Rogue and Fighter are all taken already. We still have Monk and Paladin open though, so you never know.

Problem with odd races is that Larian can't do the expected romances with sex at the end which sadly seems to have become the standard in RPG the industry.
