How to Kick a Party Member in Baldur’s Gate 3 Baldur’s Gate 3 is a role-playing game that allows you to create your own character and recruit up to three companions to join your party. However, you may want to change your party members at some point, either to try out different characters or to make room for a friend in multiplayer. In this blog post, I will explain how to kick a party member in Baldur’s Gate 3, and what are the consequences of doing so.
How to Kick a Party Member
There are two types of party members in Baldur’s Gate 3: Origin characters and Hirelings. Origin characters are the main NPCs that have their own backstory, personality, and quests. Hirelings are generic mercenaries that you can recruit for a fee from the Fugue Plane. You can have up to four party members at a time, including your own character.
To kick a party member in Baldur’s Gate 3, you need to go to your camp, which is a safe area where you can rest, talk to your companions, and access your stash. You can fast travel to your camp by using the wing icon near the mini-map, or by using a waypoint. However, some areas do not allow fast travel, so you may need to find a way out first.
Once you are in your camp, you can talk to the party member that you want to kick out. There will be an option to ask them to stay at the camp, which will remove them from your party. You can also do this by right-clicking on their portrait and selecting “Dismiss”. However, this will not permanently get rid of them. You can always talk to them again and invite.
What are the Consequences of Kicking a Party Member in Baldur’s Gate 3
Kicking a party member in Baldur’s Gate 3 does not have any major negative consequences, as long as you do it politely. You will not lose any reputation or friendship with them, and they will not hold a grudge against you. However, they may express some disappointment or annoyance, depending on their personality. For example, Astarion, the vampire rogue, may sarcastically remark that he is “crushed” by your decision, while Lae’zel, the githyanki warrior, may challenge you to a duel.
Kicking a party member in Baldur’s Gate 3 also does not affect their quest progress or availability. You can still complete their personal quests and romance them, even if they are not in your party. However, you may miss some dialogue or interactions with them, as they will not be present during certain events or conversations. You may also lose some combat options or skills, depending on their class and abilities.
How to Add a New Party Member in Baldur’s Gate 3

Origin characters are the main NPCs that you can meet during your adventure, such as Gale, Shadowheart, Wyll, and others. You can recruit them by talking to them and asking them to join you. However, you can only recruit them if you have a free slot in your party, or if you kick out another party member first.
How to Switch Party Members in Multiplayer

You can do this by pressing the Escape key, clicking on Session, and then adjusting who controls who. You can use the arrows below and above each character to move them to different players.
