Baldur’s Gate 3: Companions – Friends or Foes?
Hey there, fellow adventurers! Today, we delve into the world of Baldur’s Gate 3, where epic quests and monstrous creatures await. But hold your horses, because we’ve got some valuable advice for you straight from the mouth of Swen Vincke, the CEO of Larian Studios.
Picture this: you and your crew are ready to embark on an epic cooperative adventure in Baldur’s Gate 3. But here’s the catch – for every player in the party, that means one less companion to join you. So what does Swen Vincke recommend? Well, he suggests leaving those companions who don’t make the cut for your party to another time.
Now, before you start questioning Vincke’s wisdom, let’s delve into the heart of the matter – the companion system. In single-player mode, you have the freedom to choose from a colorful selection of companions. You’ve got the dashing wizard Gale, the demon-slaying Tiefling barbarian Karlach, and even the Elfen vampire rogue Astarion. These companions won’t sit idly by; they’ll actively participate in your thrilling adventures.
But here’s the thing – if you don’t include a companion in your party, they’ll be left twiddling their thumbs back at camp, only indirectly impacting the story. So, according to Vincke, if you’re playing in co-op mode, it’s best to GameTopicor those companions and focus on the party members who are actually adventuring alongside you. After all, Vincke states that the connection you’ll feel with those left behind will be “much shallower.”
Let’s face it, Vincke knows these companions like the back of his hand. He and his team at Larian Studios have poured their hearts and souls into bringing them to life. They know every nook and cranny of these characters’ stories, and they’re confident that experiencing their journeys in a single-player playthrough will be the best way to truly appreciate their depth and complexity.

Now, don’t worry if you can’t play through Baldur’s Gate 3 multiple times like Vincke. He understands that not everyone has the luxury of time. However, he encourages players to give both multiplayer and single-player runs a shot. Explore the various ways this game can be enjoyed, and discover which gameplay style suits you best.
Remember, dear adventurers, with a party limit of just four players and a multitude of companions waiting to be discovered, it’s impossible to experience everything in just one playthrough, whether solo or in a group. But fear not! Embrace the joy of the journey, relish every moment spent in the vast world of Baldur’s Gate 3, and uncover as much of its rich tapestry as you possibly can.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is available now on PC, and if you’re a console gamer, hold tight because it will be released on PS5 soon, with an Xbox version in the works.
