Baldur's Gate 3 Hirelings explained: How and why to recruit them
radiotimes.comFaerûn is a punishing place, and some folks out there will do anything for a buck to get by it would seem, including doing your exact bidding — despite the fact you have an extremely dangerous parasite in your head and could very well kill them. To answer the call, we have Baldur's Gate 3 Hirelings explained with how and why to recruit them.
We’ll take a look at all the hirelings, their classes, backgrounds and races to give you an overview of who is on offer, should you go down this route.
If none of the companions are catching your eye, though, then we’re afraid to say that none of the hirelings can be romanced, so you may just find yourself single with no one to mingle with in Baldur’s Gate 3. But at least you can make the dead and animals talk to you should you feel that lonesome.

Hirelings are Party Members that you can pay 100 gold for to have them fight for you in place of others. Unlike your other party members such as Gale or Karlach, they don’t have unique storylines and merely just act as mercenaries to do your bidding.
Because they’re not critical to the plot in any way– Larian even say that they won’t judge you if you merely send them into the heat of battle as expendable minions — they're a great way to bait opponents into attacking the one party member so that the rest can sit back and fling high-damage spells down range. Perfect for that evil playthrough.
They’re also a great non-consequential way to experiment with different classes in Badlur’s Gate 3 without worrying about changing any of the companions.
