Typically, on the first Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 playthrough, players are likely to create their own character and explore the game as Tav. However, after that, many fans look to try out a new way of playing and exploring the story, through the eyes of the companions. Naturally, choosing an Origin Character can be pretty tricky, with so many different options, classes, and experiences to pick from. Thankfully, most are so different they can\u2019t be compared. Despite this, one Origin Character has been crowned as the best companion to play as among the community. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players convinced one Origin Character is better than others Sharing their \u201chot take\u201d on Reddit, one user revealed why \u201cWyll is the best companion to play as.\u201d They went on to explain how playing him allows you to explore other companions without worrying about forgetting Wyll\u2019s storyline, and that the Warlock is one of the most popular classes in the game, but usually Tavs don\u2019t interact with their patron much, which is where Wylls relationship with Mizora comes in. There were tons of reasons as to why Wyll is a great Origin character, and despite the player calling it a hot take, hundreds of fans took to the comments to agree with their ideas. \u201cI completely agree\u201d commented one user, going on to say how they \u201chave one Origin companion run started and it\u2019s Wyll, for mostly the same reasons.\u201d Others were quick to agree with the poster, revealing how they thought Wyll has \u201cextreme protagonist energy\u201d and that they can imagine him \u201cbefriending all the companions and wanting to not only save them from the tadpoles but solve all their various problems along the way\u201d making the entire story more natural. \u201cI did an origin playthrough as him and yep, he 100% feels like he should be the default protagonist outside of Tav, and his romance with Karlach feels so natural. It actually doesn\u2019t feel right going with anyone else\u201d added one user, revealing just how impactful the Karlach and Wyll pairing feels throughout the story. One Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player summed up the community\u2019s feelings: \u201cI think the most important point is this: Wyll is the only origin character whose personal story actually feels more impactful when told from a first-person perspective rather than from the outside.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have crowned the best companion to play as Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are praising one key companion, claiming it\u2019s undeniably the best companion to play as.
