Question: Minimum party member?

[BoBo]

Can you play with less then 6 party members ? And do you also get more experience if you run with a smaller party similar to other other pathfinder games?

[Starrok]

You can always try, but it may be difficult, because the party always gets shared experience and you don't get more if you leave someone at home.

[BoBo]

Do you guys plan to add the option to turn off shared exp like in Wrath of the righteous?

Currently no plans to do so. If there's a high demand, we may reconsider it later, but that won't happen before some time into release.

Can you technically kill the npc or refuse them into the group so that would increase the exp rate of only the party members you accept?

From what I understand, the exp you get is not scaled by party size. Every companion you have gets X exp, no matter if they are with you or on the ship. Having fewer total companions doesn't give those you have more exp. if an encounter gives 100 exp and you have 5 companions, all 5 companions get 100 exp each. If you have 3000 companions, all 3000 companions get 100 exp each.

i see, kingmaker and wrath of the righteous didnt work that way. You could power level by having less companions.

I'd love for this option to be there. Soloing the unfair difficulty in Kingmaker and WotR has been the best experience I've had in these games, and it was largely made possible thanks to disabling the exp sharing.

When is this planned to be added ? I hate playing as a team and will not buy the game until it can be played solo, I hope there will be a perk like lone wolf.

Some questions defy logic. The dev literally said "Currently no plans to do so"

They are not going to make it soloable. It makes no sense lore wise, and there is no way one person is going to kill 30 enemies at once, no matter how overpowered you are.

If a game can't be played by one character, it's a piece of ♥♥♥♥.

You could play Pathfinder games solo in spite of all the lore reasons. It's not about the lore, it's about the challenge.

[Altogolik]

I completed all the previous games solo, I don't see the point of playing a game if I can't play solo. this is not interesting, I only want to develop 1 character

[Myth Alric]

In pathfinder games you are leading a kingdom of maybe a few thousands, in Rogue trader you are leading a 'kingdom' of millions. There is like more people on your personal ship than there are in the entire region made up of several kingdoms in pathfinder. It is just a different scope.

Also mechanically the game is also far more party base.

[Altogolik]

I don’t care how many people there are, 1 or 4 doesn’t make much difference, I want to create a character who can destroy enemies alone
