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.
Tactically sound but I’m talking about how long it takes for npc’s to take their turns. It’s a minute between each of my party members’ moves at end game
Really? A whole minute? That's awful. I'm pretty sure BGII would let you speed up or skip opponent turns.
I think it’s a lot of pathfinding processing. I’m playing a misty step heavy party so it’s constantly having to solve for how to get up terrain and around obstacles.
But yeah. Older crpg’s were a doodle compared to the oil painting that is BG3
