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

4 party size is probably due to fear of too long turns, while also maintaining a 4 man co-op.

But what is wirst you are restricted to Tank-Support-Rogue-DPR. When selecting a characted and knowing companions i feel restricted to certain classes/playstyle.
Thats why I think a party of 5 would be enough without straining the balance.
