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.

I just wish there was a better way to change party members besides talking to them

Wait, you can swap companions out to help pad out time until needing to long rest?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yea but you cant swap out ur main character

I never thought about doing this - I have way too many camp supplies. Granted, swapping in a backup divine caster might be useful.
