I was just wondering if there is any mod or other wonderful programming out there that lets me have more than 5 npc companions with me in Baldur's gate 2. There are so many fantastic characters that it sucks that I can have so few with me at any given time.  |

Good to have multiple people in NWN also, yes. |

Very true.
I've heard testominy from people who've used "cheat codes" in NWN2 to allow more than three additional characters in the party, but once again I imagine that such a large party would become rather difficult to manage.
It wouldn't necessarily let you see every little bit of dialogue either, because of how the dialogs get scripted.
Yup. I love that command, since it enables me to have Gann, Safiya, Okku and Kaelyn in the part at the same time. |

I'm pretty sure that, in NWN at least, you could theoretically have an unlimited number of companions (there was a joke about "a thousand Deekins!"). It's just not advisable because it'll almost certainly crash your game. |

Well, I have. I've never sought to use such a module though (I misspoke before--I meant modules, not cheat codes). |

5 characters with the PC beats most RPGs. Almost everything from Japan has two or three and everything Bioware has released lately has two as well. More reason to why I think the Goldbox and the Infinity engine games were ahead of their time. |

I never heard of it, but if only for the extra story arcs, more conversations, etc... that would be awesome!!! |

I *think* there is, but I could be wrong and in any case wouldn't know the name of such a module. I would search around.
Also, be careful what you wish for. You may find that having more than 6 party members in that game is difficult to manage. |
