If you’re feeling overwhelmed with the excellent array of characters in Baldur’s Gate 3 and finding it a challenge to choose your party of four, fear not! You have the power to recruit and shuffle between all the fascinating characters available in the game. Allow me to guide you on how to switch party members in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Changing Your Party in BG3
Once you’ve progressed far enough in the story of Baldur’s Gate 3 to unlock the camp, you’ll find all of your recruited party members hanging out here. To get back to your camp, all you have to do is bring up the map with the M key, then click on the camp waypoint to fast travel back there.
Once you’re back at camp, speak with the character you want to swap into your party and then choose the character you want to swap out. And that’s all there is to it.
Changing Playable BG3 Characters
While you’re out exploring the open-world, you can also decide which character you want to actively control. All you have to do is click on a character’s portrait on the left side of the screen and the camera will center on them, allowing you to move around and interact with the world as them. This can be helpful, as some characters may have attributes that allow them to better negotiate with other NPCs.
You can also click and drag a character’s portrait away from the rest, and once you see the chains break between the portraits, that means that character is no longer in the party. You can still click on their individual portraits to take control of them, and also move the portraits back together to bring them back into the party.
