I can't seem to get 8 members in my party...

Firstly, I have indeed spent a great deal of time looking for the answer to this question. I have used the "search" option, Google searched, and read a great deal of threads that I thought may have the answer.

I am aware that when adding party members upon creating a new game that their portraits will not show up at the bottom but that I am supposed to have them when I actually start the game. I got to the initial shop (where I can purchase equipment from chests) and I only had the 5 party members (despite adding 8 members at the character selection screen (and yes they all had the green activation boarders plus their alignments were all in order)). I restarted the game a few times and each time I would only have the five members. I read in a thread that I could add members at the inn in the starting town via a book on a table. I played up until the inn and when I try to add the characters using the book, they just stand in the middle of the room naked and I am unable to interact with them. They will not add to my party.

What am I missing? do I have to alter a file somewhere? I searched the options and can find no place that allows me to adjust the party member size.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Well...after a great deal of searching I found a thread that points out the options button at the top left. I am sorted out now. Time to kick ass!

Good day.

 

I'm glad you found that thread.

That's the same options that allows many changes to the initial setup of the game.

I too find the search feature invaluable.
