BG3 Party Members Not Following

When playing Baldur's Gate 3, it's important that your party members stick close to your controlled character. You can tell if they're linked by checking their portraits on the left side of the screen. If there's a gap between them, they're not connected.

You can fix this by dragging one portrait onto the other or pressing the G-key to auto-link them. Just make sure they're standing close together for this to work.

How to Fix Baldurs Gate 3 Party Members Not Following?

If your companions still aren't following you despite linking their portraits, it might be due to a glitch. You can try fast-traveling to a destination with your party, taking a long rest, or going to camp and back to the open world. Be sure to travel with one character at a time if they're not following automatically. If that doesn't work, restart the game.

Characters may also stop following if they can't physically reach you, so use items like Misty Step to help them catch up. Keep an eye on their portraits to ensure they're connected and close together.
