Baldur’s Gate 3 player explains why no party limit mod ‘makes so much sense’

A Baldur’s Gate 3 player highlighted why the “amazing” No Party Limit mod works so well, in terms of the story campaign.

The modding community for BG3 has blossomed since the game’s full launch in 2023. Modders explored a wide range of ideas that have boosted the RPG’s gameplay mechanics, systems, items, and much more.

For instance, one mod increases the max level from 12 to 20. Another adds a new layer of excitement to the experience by introducing more Legendary Items.

Some players may feel reluctant to experiment with mods, given their propensity for causing gameplay bugs. However, one user argues that Party Limit Begone is worth the hassle.

Baldur’s Gate 3 user praises Party Limit Begon mod

After playing through BG3 multiple times, Reddit user shadownn02 downloaded Party Limit Begone for a new Honour Mode run. Their goal centered on recruiting as many companions as possible.

By the end of Act 2, the player said they had a band of 10 people. Unsurprisingly, this makes for chaotic combat encounters, though the larger headcount helps the battle move along fairly quickly.

But the real benefit lies in what the mod does to expand upon the story content. The Redditor explained, “…story-wise this mod makes so much sense, everyone is involved. Nobody gets left out. I’m doing all companion quests. It’s truly worth playing like this after you’ve completed the game at least once.”

Many in the Reddit thread agree that the Party Limit Begone mod for Baldur’s Gate 3 (available on NexusMods) represents a big game changer. One person said it especially works well with the Difficulty Plus mods, which lets players “scale the difficulty of enemies based on [their] party count/skill level/preference.”

Others shared their hopes that Larian will someday boost the party size in an official patch. Reads one such remark, “I wish they would add this option in a future patch. Like you can keep the standard 4 but in the custom mode have the nonparty limit.”

Elsewhere in the thread, someone argued that while Party Limit Begone is neat, having more than seven or eight companions can become too chaotic. A different Redditor said a good middle-ground is running the mod with only five companions, as it offers “more banter and companion fun without throwing the balance off too much.”

Either way, it’s clear the crew at Larian thought four party members served the experience well.
