4 is such an arbitrary low number, like I know it’s multiplayer but cmon, theres absolutely no room for npcs in a human party. Also what’s the point of locking the appearance of the hirelings if they don’t get a backstory? Pillars of eternity 2 let you create custom party members and they had custom made companions that werent like full party members but some of them actually talked.
I know mods can fix this but I would really like to just be able to create 4 custom characters at the start even if im not playing multiplayer. Also maybe let us change the race and appearances of the hirelings if they gonna be blank slates.
Definitely for balancing purposes, but yeah, if all 4 people have a custom character, the only NPC storytelling you’re getting is in-camp or by meeting them outside your party.
It’d be awesome to see an update or mod that allows for 6-8 characters and increased enemy density.
Yeah, but then you have 3 friends to do regular old RPG storytelling with.
Very very true, it is pretty much just a 5e campaign with extra sauce.
