Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players prefer new characters to returning ones in future game One player took to the Baldur\u2019s Gate subreddit to ask which companions players would like to see return, explaining than many of them could live for a long time: \u201cGale as a powerful wizard can live for a really long time. Astarion is a vampire and half-elf. Shart is a half-elf. Lae\u2019zel can spend a lot of time on the Astral Plane so she shouldn\u2019t age. Karlach\u2019s engine can slow her aging. Minthara is a drow.\u201d However, many players felt like a new game should focus on other new characters, and that returning ones should play a minimal role in any future story in the series. \u201cI\u2019m not so sure about returning companions, but I feel like Arabella was definitely set up to show up in future titles.\u201d one player said. \u201cGirl\u2019s got weird magic, a wild backstory, and is getting mentored by Elminster\u2013she\u2019s got to have something cool in store.\u201d Another comment read: \u201cI don\u2019t think any of the main ones really \u2013 too much scope to \u2018mess up\u2019 people\u2019s chosen character endings.
