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.

    Idk why they insist on making tactics games with only 3-4 characters. It’s absurd, you can’t do anything with that many. That’s not enough to pull a flank attack, do fire and movement, anything. Any mistake becomes disasterous - If one character goes down you lose 50% of your force - The character who died and the character you have to detail to revive them.

    And, of course, Baldur’s Gate didn’t have this issue bc you could have 6 characters in a party.
