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.
It's the year 2000, my D&D game has six character parties, it's hard as shit, and it is a renowned masterpiece of gameplay and storytelling. Jon Irenicus scares the shit out of me. His hot vampire sister also scares the shit out of me idk if I'm even in to it. Will spawn the beloved Icewind Dale and Icewind Dale II that will be named the best squad level tactical combat games of their era, challenging players to achieve mastery of Black Isle's excellent implementation of the AD&D 2nd Ed system in the Infinity Engine. Remastered decades later to enchant a new generation of players. Boots of Speed go Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I can count to 4!
