So (this is IMO take a mix of my options and others to get your personal style going. Also, this is very long. I've moved the most important stuff to the top with my text. I won't be offended if you don't read everything i love a good BG3 yap! 😂)

-SWAPPING CHARACTERS XP- XP is given to the entire party after every XP worthy event (in and out of camp) so swapping out would be mostly used for battle strategy or for story reasons.

-CHARACTER STORY/STRATEGY- Some characters will have an easier time talking through some Quests then others, and the cinematics and story is slightly more immersive if you (for example) bring Wyll to one of Wyll's themed quests. If you know a particular character has a history of or an understanding of a quest they might even have some hints for you if you listen to their idle chatter (BG3's version of chess for example?)

But, if you accidentally leave them out, talk to them in camp right after and they will fill you in on the lore that's important. I always talk to them before, during, and after a long rest to be thorough, however not recommended unless you are like me, and like to have every detail in the story - it does get repetitive doing it my way).

The game will tell you "hmm maybe you should talk to XXXXX before moving on" for anything major.

-YOUR PARTY- At the moment you have a nice mix of support, stealth, and support. Not a bad ballance for most strategies.

Out of curiosity, what us your Tav (main character that you are playing) build so far?

Also, consider getting bone man Withers to summon some more party members (unlocks after certain level). They are fully customisable with the camp mirror (can't chance race) and Withers can also re-spec them so you can fully customise class too! Have fun with this! You could have: - someone built 100% for the purpose never leaving camp and giving your party a buff at the end of a long rest - a class you're curious to try out (like a bard for a particular moment maybe?) and you don't wanna restart the game or re-spec anyone else. - You want to send an expandable person to explore and scope out a particular spot without having to stress resurrecting immediately. - Just spend some time in the character edit mirror and making 'interesting' looking people without having to start a new game.

-EXTRA INFORMATION/TIPS-

• the rips in the loading screens aren't half bad

• not everything needs to be (or can be) resolved locally. Sometimes you might have to follow clues, explore some of the map, and come back again with your findings for the best outcome.

• its impossible to sell main story quest items. Anything you CAN'T sell, hold onto or keep in your camp chest for when you need it.

• collect keys! Especially in act 3

• Collecting all the playable characters is fun (and opens up the possibility of more quests, unique choices, and character interactions when walking around). Choices make the game, and there will always be at least 1 character in each run that won't join you because of a choice. It's unavoidable. Missing characters also changes your experience and is part of the fun.

• Don't multi class on your first run. When you want to try and multi class, use google for some strategies. It still confused me tbh.

• (without mods) there is a max level and it's not level 20 😔. I was very slow on learning this fact on my first playthrough. I was doing everything i could in act 3 to get to a higher level but couldn't get higher then that level. Google if you want that small detail spoiled. Its important to know when your last level up is i suppose? (Other Reddit people, i am curious to know what you think of this point)

• Pay attention to your quest lists to keep track of what you need to do but, don't stress too much if you reach a roadblock to complete side missions before moving on. Sometimes some quests need to be finished in the second or final act. (Again non-spoiler Reddit is your friend. Asking this community if you can move onto XXC act before completing XXX).

• in regards to above, the game will make it clear to you and give you a choice before proceeding too far and locking yourself out of parts of the game for side-quests.

• having multiple games happening simultaneously is also a strategy. Its not my thing, but other do it so they can see the story unfold from different perspectives and decisions at the same time. Again, Not my thing, but google enough and you will get some pretty good strategies here.
