10 Best BG3 NPCs Fans Still Want To Join The Party All These Years Later
The article argues that several memorable characters in Baldur’s Gate 3 have stories and personalities strong enough to merit becoming full party companions. A mod already lets players recruit Mizora, Wyll’s devil patron, and the piece uses that as a prompt to consider other NPCs whose roles end before players can follow their stories further.
It highlights Alfira, the tiefling bard; Barcus, the gnome who eventually leads the Ironhand clan; Zevlor, the paladin who guides the refugees; and Volo, the hapless explorer, among others. The article’s case is that these characters have compelling arcs or distinctive contributions, while the game gives players limited ways to travel with them and see what happens next.
In short
- A mod lets players recruit Mizora.
- The article names ten NPCs fans want as companions.
- Alfira, Barcus and Zevlor are among its picks.
Explained simply
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a role-playing game set in the fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms. Players lead a group of adventurers through a branching story, making choices that affect who they meet and what happens to them.
Along the way, the group encounters characters with their own goals and troubles. Alfira is a tiefling bard, Barcus is a gnome tied to the Ironhand clan, Zevlor helps lead a group of refugees, and Volo is an unreliable explorer; Mizora is a devil connected to the companion Wyll.
Only some characters can join the player’s travelling party, so many remain supporting figures whose stories are followed from a distance. Fans’ interest in recruiting more of them reflects how companion choices shape the game’s relationships and adventures.
