How large is the party and what is the level cap?
You create four characters at the start and can add up to two companions during the campaign for a six-member party. Each single class caps at level 16 in the ruleset described on the store pages and classic FAQs.
What is Legacy Mode?
Legacy Mode is an optional setting in the remaster that keeps the original gameplay and presentation while still allowing you to toggle individual quality-of-life enhancements such as the action bar, tooltips, or controller support.
