It is possible to create a custom four-person party in Baldur’s Gate 3. This allows access to classes and backgrounds beyond what the main companions start as. In a sense, it offers more dialogue options and some unique interaction outcomes.
However, playing as a custom party does have drawbacks. None of the voiced origin characters will be in the party, making it more likely to miss triggers for their related quests, romances, and endings. As of patch 2, there is a workaround to temporarily dismiss these extra characters and bring in companions as needed.
Making a second main character is as simple as starting Baldur’s Gate 3 in two-player split-screen mode. This requires two controllers, even if playing the PC version. The additional “players” can join a session as guests instead of using unique Steam IDs or PlayStation Network profiles. Upon start-up, a second copy of the main character, Tav, can be created. Take note that this custom character cannot be saved for future editing and must be finalized now.
Making the third and fourth custom characters is a bit trickier. It requires starting up a second instance of Baldur’s Gate 3 and creating an online lobby. On PC, this is as simple as opening the game twice on a single machine and hosting a multiplayer session.
For PlayStation 5, one will need to have a second console and use Share Play. Once all four members have joined the lobby, all custom characters can be created.
