In Baldur’s Gate 3, you can create a team of your choice from different followers. However, it’s possible to encounter a problem causing some Companions not to follow you. Fortunately, it is pretty easy to fix. So, let’s cover the cause and solution as to why your Companions may not follow you in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Companion Not Following in Baldur’s Gate 3 Explained
A Companion not following you in Baldur’s Gate 3 could be due to several reasons, including the new party split feature. Even though one of the unspoken rules of D&D says never to split a party, the developers still added such an opportunity. And in Baldur’s Gate 3, this can be useful. For example, you can surround the enemies even before the start of the battle.
To resolve the follower predicament, you need to unite your team. To do this, you must drag your character’s portrait from the bottom of the screen to the icon of your Companions on the left side of the screen. If you do everything right, there will be no space between the portraits, and your friends start following you again.
You can also unite a team using the Fast Travel feature. You need to select each Companion and fast-travel them to the same place. Then fast-travel your character and join your party. If this method does not fix the issue, consider quicksaving and quickloading to resolve your Companion’s problem. When the game loads up, your previously bugged follower should accompany you as normal.
To recap, the two ways to solve Companions not following your MC in BG3 are:
- Unite your team.
- Quicksave and quickload.
If all else fails and you’re on PC, consider verifying the integrity of the game’s files on Steam.
