Companions

[Seveers]

Can I recruit them all in one playthrough and switch them out at any time?

Hey Seveers, You can recruit three companions at the same time but yes you can switch around. Characters that are dismissed you will be able to recruit further in the game... be carefule of what you leave them with... all important objects will be transfered to your Avatar but the nice sword you equipped the companion with just before dismissing him will go with him!

Much love from Larian!

So if I recruit soeone and then dismiss them they'll turn up at a tavern or something like D:OS? What about if I never recruit them. Will they stay where I wa suspposes to recruit them, be at a tavern to recruit later, or not be recruitable at all?

anyone can tell me where i can find a Beast on the island?

[alexandre_larian]

They will appear at different places in the game (well at some point always at the same place, like the tavern... but not the tavern) For the first part of the game they will return to specific spots where you will be able to recruit them again!

can we change the job that we gave them at the start? or will it be fixed throughout the game?

Wait for me in that bizarre alternate dimension we discovered about 5 minutes ago. I might come back for you at some point.

Beast is repairing a boat south of the crocodiles, its the one that's crashed upon the rocks inbetween the crocodiles and the sleeping lizard

I found a skeleton, lizard and elf girl along with Beast, but haven't seen any others yet

Are there only these 6? Is it possible to hire mercenaries, like in D:OS1 ?

The both women are kind of alright. For what's worth - there are worse things than a Widowmaker from Overwatch & Neera from Baldur's Gate rip-offs.

The other 4 are just...idk. Kinda boring really. Add to that, that not everyone likes everybody...i need companions, not teens who cry and ♥♥♥♥♥ and moan and be edgy all day long.

Please tell me i can just hire mercs...

Kinda expected Siwan to be one of the possible companions, but it seems it would have been asked too much to actually have somebody you are trying to save survive. Not dramatic enough i guess.

The dialogue with her, including something like "I...I don't even know what to say...why, why would you ever stay behind just to give me a sliver of a chance to survive?" would have been honestly more enjoyable than all the "Omg, i am like totally going to kill everybody" from the elf or "Bloogey woogey woo, i'm the possessed sorcerer cliche Nr.128" from the redhead combined. You know, genuine loyalty from the get go, not this "I am going to be all angsty and insecure until half-way through the game and by the end of it really warm up to you"

Not quite sure whether i romantisized the ♥♥♥♥ out of previous Larian titles, or whether the writing in this one is just going down the GoT rabbit hole of everyone being miserable, whiny, edgy and / or dead / abused / crazed.

As far as levelling is concerned, I have a question. Say I'm level 2 and I recruit Sebille. I then leave her be and venture off for a while. Come back, level 5. Will she still be level 2 or automatically levelled to 5? Even more specifically, will her attribute/civil/talent points be automatically applied if she has levelled, or will they be free for me to spend?

There are also 2 when you first enter the prison. Ifan is with the elf girl being harrassed, and the other is a woman talking to herself near the front of the statue.

Great game, and absolutely loving the characters and their stories Larian.
