Who are your companions? Do you switch during gameplay?

I’m currently in act 3 and remain using Shadowheart, Lae’zel and Astarion.

Anyone else uses other companions?

Edit: by the way, my main character is a Monk named Jef :)

I'm actually playing with an xbox controller and my TV as my computer monitor. It's the best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned 😁

I'm doing the same. With that setup, kb&m isn't practical. There are still some bugs with controllers though, so being able to switch to the mouse real quick is occasionally useful.

Personally the only problem I've had playing with a controller is that neither of the two vanilla interfaces can accommodate a party size of more than 7 including the Tav well and the mod to fix that isn't compatible with the controller one. That's pretty minor though, since it's purely cosmetic and off to the side 🤷

It took me way too long to do the brain puzzle under Moonrise Tower on the controller 🤣

Linux PC, 4k TV, and controller. Very comfortable setup.

I can do everything with a controller although I do not know how to end a concentration spell after a fight. I will try to find the answer now that I am thinking about it.

Ending Concentration Spells answer:

Open the radial menu for the character that is concentrating so hard and navigate to that spell. When hovering over it, you'll see options in the lower right corner of screen. It shows to hold ( Y ) down to cancel concentration.

Instructions unclear, held down cleavage.

Sry, couldn't concentrate for some reason

Me neither, especially once cleavage was brought up..and then down 😁
