Oh my God, a few nights back I had three hours to play and just spent it respecting everyone and playing with their gear. And by everyone, I mean everyone. Even the people I have not had in my active party outside like a quest or two.

"Hmm, should this Act 3 companion go Ranger 8 / Barb 4? How best do I build them to dual weild? Which swords should they get? Let me change my party so I can see what everyone else has."

I beat the game two nights later only using the characters I ran essentially the whole game with. But honestly, I love messing with builds. The fact that we can just do it all the time to try something new or min-max just a little bit more ("hey, I just got a permanent bump to my main stat, let's see if I can rework everything to up a bonus somewhere...") is such a great feature.

Really glad they added respec and multiclassing, it's going to extend the life of the game for me for sure.

Every time I level up, I spend the time to make sure everyone is too. It takes a while, but I can plug and play them all. I still run my main group of my Paladin/Bard, Shadowheart, Karlach, and Lae'Zel most of the time, though.

Plus, making Gale learn all the scrolls I've squirrled away took a while.

Tip for making Gale(or any wizard) learn scrolls. If you open up his spell book, then is a small button that opens a new menu(I think it is an open book with a flame, it is early in the morning for me), and it lists all the scrolls you can learn that you have, tick all the boxes, and then the pay the money. Took me 1 minute to spend over 3000 gold learning spells.
