I was just thinking that it was pretty well... dumb that though out BG1 bG2 and possibly tob(who knows) you only can have 6 party members. This was not even explained anywhere. I think others may have other ideas for say a BG3.

It's hard enough controlling 6 party members and giving them all orders, at least when you don't use AI, so I don't see why anyone would want anymore than 6.

I'll agree that 6 charictors is more than enough to make a worth while party even if you use the charictors that the game gives you. Normaly if I create a party in the game I only use 4.
Also with that many people you cant give them instructions in real time.

I think playing SoA with 2 Monks, 4 Thieves, 8 Fighters, 5 Druids, 5 Clerics, 3 Sorcerers, 2 Archers, 6 Paladins, 7 mages and 14 dual classed characters would not be that...er...FUN to play.

not fun at all. the frame rate would eventually fall down around your ears as well. in the elven city it was hard enough getting six people around the place let alone the half a billion you would create

but computers are advanceing at an alarming rate everyday the newer models of say next year would be abel to cater for say 8,9 or 10 people. Sure it's not nessicary to have that many and u can still go solo if u want but i think the potental for battles of high volocity would be better:D.

:alien:
can u pls stop usn chat-talk, pls? it's N.Oing ppl & me 2, u c?
thnx

What about playing a mage with 60 fighters following him. Each one equipped with chain mail, long sword, medium shield and a helmet.

6 chars is fine.. Sometimes it feels like I need a bit more..
This party isn't possible
Fighter
Fighter
Fighter DC Cleric
Fighter DC Cleric
Archer
Fighter/Thief
Conjurer
Necromancer

6 is fine but I think raising it to 8 isn't a bad idea.. unless the game gets a bit easier. I really hate those fights when you just load, die, load, die, load, die... I think 8 is better than 6. Of course you should still be able to do it with 4 (fighter, mage, cleric, thief)

It almost feels like your missing something when you can't get that extra NPC and hear all the diolouges that make me laugh. "Evil meet sword, sword meet evil."

Hehe, I don't even notice chat talk.
I read it just like normal talk.

Basically the framerate drops are mainly caused by spells n stuff. 8 pure fighters would still be faster than 6 sorcerers

The problem with raising it to 8 is next time someone will say he'll only need 10 etc.
