We're CERTAIN you're all having rational and polite conversations about who does/doesn't deserve to be in your party, so tell us! Who are you personal favourites?

[aegis]

Laezel has an enormous evolution if you make the "right" decisions. One of my favorite characters

[benitaur]

Laezel isnt bad man she has a pretty big character arc later in the game

[demi.devil.]

😂 knew this list was bad the minute they said eldritch blast isn’t good enough to make up for warlocks lacking spell slots… as if it’s not the best cantrip in the game

[jackinthebox]

Lae'zel is a true warrior, a poet, and a QUEEN. I won't tolerate anymore slander towards her!

[gustaafargoan]

There's only one companion I don’t leave camp without, and that is Lae, zel.

[smokingaze]

Well.... Lae'zel might just be the most powerful companion you get. You just need to play down her lust for blood and it's all good. A powerful romance aswell

[ThatSmilingRobot]

I guess my main issue is...most of the stuff they talk about doesn't matter at all for most of the companions. Too much emphasis was put on their class abilities and specifically their abilities at the time they're acquired mostly. What actually makes the characters good, bad, or even different are their personalities and stories. You can make anybody into any class, so abilities literally do not matter when picking a companion.

[MrRyus]

Laezel acts the way she does because she along with majority of the Giths are brainwashed/manipulated and when she finally comes to that realization she changes just like Minthara.. Laezel is hands down a good companion because of her fighter and gith race so imo she is easily top 3

[spacechannelfiver]

Withers for conversations, Scratch for being a good boy.

[KLGChaos]

Wyll isn't all that bad. Eldritch Blast is the strongest cantrip in the game with the enhancements you get from it (add charisma to damage, knockback) and with multiple attacks as it levels, it can be as strong as any martial weapon.

Plus, the spells comr back on a short rest and are always the highest level. You have to be much more tactical with his spells, but when used properly are extremely strong.

[dude]

If you don’t think Laezel has more depth you haven’t played through her entire story. She grew to become so loving and caring and is so well written, by the end I was tearing up

[Doorkey]

Romancing Shadowheart as a Selunie Cleric is funny tho

[captainrisky]

This dude did 1 playthrough of the game, with the most sub optimal team (which is fine) & decided to make a list of the best companions. Thats the only way someone could come up with that order.

[Fruity]

Bruh when Karlach looked at me and said she just wanted a hug i knew she right then and there she was one of my favorites

[EzraSmith-djeq]

Laezel being 9 is blasphemous, I could understand if she's not someones absolute favorite but she belongs top 3 at the worst. Best character development and story arc by far

[mayfirerose]

Would have been nice to have a base understanding of their stories. That probably would have changed the rankings lol

[Asmallcorneroftheinternet]

Me and the dream team, a.k.a, Shadowheart, Karlach, and Laz'el. In reality, I have no bitches. In Baldur's Gate 3, I have three of the best in video game history.

[Jason-ur]

you can get Minthara without hurting the grove and you can keep everyone else as well

[Andy-rfrr]

The Lae'zel criticism sounds like you never went past act 1 with her. Especially romancing her, she starts to approve of your choices to help people and also has a point where she steps away from her people. Just seems like you left her at the camp the whole play through. Seeing as this is probably the case, I am stopping the video at 4:32 and leaving it at that.
