Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Mega-threads and Guides Party Size Discussion

Took me a while to realize my thread was merged here for whatever reason (not even sure why, since it was about an entirely different matter than discussing the merits of an expanded party), but still, I'll take the chance to thank you for the link.

Also, I'm experimenting a bit with the six slot setup and I have to say it's going more or less as I was expecting:
on one hand I'm enjoying the novelty a whole lot. Having a bigger party covering more roles and allowing more characters interactions definitely DOES make the game more fun.
On the other hand, playing this way makes the flaws of the UI and control scheme (no formation control, no multiple selection, no click and drag, the idiotic chain/unchain thing, etc) even more annoying to deal with.
