Which companions are longterm compatible for recruitment in Baldurs Gate 3?
Having just finished my first play-through of BG3, I'm contemplating a replay. One of the things that would make a replay more interesting would be if I could recruit all the companions I failed to recruit last time. I managed to kill Karlach, Minthara, Jaheira and Minsc. so those 4 will be my top priority trying to recruit & keep in the party.
Reading up a bit regarding how to recruit the various characters, then:.
Recruiting Minthara seems to collide with Halsin's quest line and it definitely collides with Wyll and Karlach. Similarly, Wyll and Karlach quest lines might collide early on, Lae'zel and Shadowheart really don't like each other etc etc. Given that my first play-through was some 100+ hours I'd like to plan this ahead, spoilers be damned.
So I wonder which companions that are possible to keep in the same party while playing the game as intended: not skipping any quests but picking one route or the other ("good or evil choice" etc) and not exploiting any glitches. And also which companions that might ultimately end up trying to kill each other if not kept in check.
Question from user Amarth at stackexchange.
Answer:
The companions you can get are:.
Side with the Grove: Everyone except Minthara.
Side with the Goblins: You can recruit Minthara, but lose Wyll, Karlach, and Halsin. Gale also leaves if you fail a skill check.
Side with no one (enter the Shadow-Cursed Lands without picking a side): Everyone except Halsin.
There used to be an exploit to get everyone but it has since been patched.
There's a few places where companions can permanently die/leave.
Act 1:.
Shadowheart attempts to kill Lae'zel at night.
Wyll has the choice to kill Karlach as part of his storyline.
Act 2:.
Gale can blow himself up.
Shadowheart leaves if you free Nightsong without having her in the party.
Jaheira frequently dies in the Moonrise Towers fight, prior to being recruited.
Act 3:.
Gale can still blow himself up.
Jaheira leaves if you don't save Minsc.
Astarion can be sacrificed to Cazador.
