Baldur's Gate 3: Hiring New Party Members Guide
Hirelings: Your Perfect Party in Baldur’s Gate 3!
Oh, Baldur’s Gate 3, how we love your default companions! They’re a talented bunch, capable of leading a team to victory. But let’s face it, sometimes we want to play our own way and have a party that fits our customized playstyle. That’s where hirelings come in!
In tough combat situations, having the right party composition is crucial. Instead of scrambling to change roles and match your companions for each encounter, why not hire some versatile class-specific hirelings to fill in the gaps? These fearless mercenaries are ready to perform any task you throw at them!
How to Hire New Party Members
- Gold Rush: Make sure you’ve got 100 gold glittering in your character’s inventory.
- One In, One Out: Politely ask at least one companion to stay back at camp and make room for your new recruit.
- Withers Whispers: Seek out the enigmatic Withers and choose the conversation option “I would like to talk about hirelings.”
- Recruit and Salute: Invest your hard-earned gold by selecting “Recruit a hireling (100).”
- The Perfect Match: Finally, choose the hireling that tickles your fancy and suits your needs.
Now, let’s clear some misconceptions. Hirelings may join your party, but they’re not full-on companions. They lack their own snappy voice lines in conversations, can’t be wooed or smitten with romance, and don’t have an approval bar. But hey, in terms of combat, they’re just as good as any other party member! Take that, approval bar!
Like the protagonist, hirelings can’t change their race, but they can change their class. So if you find that your party needs a different skill set, simply have them talk to Withers and invest another 100 gold to grab a respec. This way, you can ensure your party is finely tuned for every encounter, rather than shoehorning your existing companions into unfamiliar roles.
And here’s the bonus round! There’s not just one hireling for each class! No, no, my joyous adventurers! You can hire multiple hirelings of the same class simultaneously. Imagine playing on the highest difficulty and assembling the Triple Threat Trio, three hirelings forming a perfect party composition, while your companions focus on the immersive roleplaying and quest elements. It’s like a dream come true!
