Baldur’s Gate 3 has finally arrived in full, and it is exceeding all expectations. Its remarkable accomplishments have captured the gaming community’s attention, propelling it to the very top of Steam.

The widespread acclaim for the game can be attributed to its story, tactical gameplay mechanics, and immersive role-playing features.

One of the more demanding aspects of the game is grasping its mechanics. Mastering the fundamentals can be momentarily challenging. For example, even something as simple as switching out party members may leave you scratching your head.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, if you have four people in your party, you will need to sub one out so that someone else can join.

So, if you want to change the characters in your party, how do you do it?
