Who are your companions? Do you switch during gameplay?

I’m currently in act 3 and remain using Shadowheart, Lae’zel and Astarion.

Anyone else uses other companions?

Edit: by the way, my main character is a Monk named Jef :)

I play on ps5 so no mods :(

Damn, I'm sorry! I know from playing Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim on both ps4 and pc how much the lack of mods can suck..

Yup. And BG3 is more of a kb+mouse game. But hey, at least I can play on my tv 😂

I'm actually playing with an xbox controller and my TV as my computer monitor. It's the best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned 😁

[–] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm doing the same. With that setup, kb&m isn't practical. There are still some bugs with controllers though, so being able to switch to the mouse real quick is occasionally useful.

Personally the only problem I've had playing with a controller is that neither of the two vanilla interfaces can accommodate a party size of more than 7 including the Tav well and the mod to fix that isn't compatible with the controller one. That's pretty minor though, since it's purely cosmetic and off to the side 🤷

It took me way too long to do the brain puzzle under Moonrise Tower on the controller 🤣
