'''Companions''' are playable characters who can join and fight alongside the player in [[Baldur's Gate 3]]. Each has their own motivations, personalities, and perspectives.


'''Companions''' are characters in Baldur's Gate 3 who can join the player in the adventure throughout [[Faerûn]]. All companions can be [[Character Creation#Origins|Origin Characters]], with the exception of [[Halsin]], [[Jaheira]], [[Minsc]], and [[Minthara]], and recruitment of any particular companion is optional. The player character can start a [[Romance|romantic relationship]] with any Origin Character, regardless of race or gender.
Many companions can be [[Romance]]d. If a companion dislikes the player's actions enough, they may leave the party or even try to kill the player.


As of Patch 9, there are five companions available for recruitment.
''See also: [[Camp Followers]].''


Companions are not to be confused with [[Camp Followers]].

[[Origin]] Companions are playable characters with rich backgrounds and ties to the world. Each origin can be played as a player character instead of making a custom character. Origin companions can be recruited shortly after completing the [[Prologue]]. See each companion page for recruitment details.<hr>
