Baldur’s Gate 3 starts with quite the bang and then quickly devolves into one the most deeply rewarding experiences of recent times. This is in part down to the seemingly endless freedom it offers, but it’s also as a result of a compelling cast of characters. You will very quickly gather a large band, and that number will only increase over time.
In fact, the origin characters you first meet are just the tip of the iceberg, but due to the sheer scale of the game, throwing out a best party guide simply won’t do without breaking it down into smaller segments. This guide is going to cover the best party composition for Act 1 and Act 2.
Do note we are assuming all characters have kept their default class.

There are so many things you need to consider in Baldur’s Gate 3 that nailing a truly great party can be tricky.

You simply can’t go wrong with a frontline Paladin leading the charge.
