Baldur's Gate III Announced - ...and it's coming to Google Stadia and PC

[SIMIΔN]

break my class and wall me off from strong high level abilities.

Smart, warlocks get an invocation at lvl11 that doubles your charisma bonus in melee, a bonus spell and upgrades all your spells to level 5/6

The abominations I've seen in the pathfinder circle in particular make me want to die

BG3 can get pretty horrific too.
Gale gets a story event if he dies, so he's autohealed to full every turn in camp to prevent it triggering offscreen. This, you can effectively double everyone's hit points by having him respec to a high HP cleric and cast warding bond on your main party whilst he stays at camp

Man, the game gave me one hell of a good scare. I managed to take out the Shadow Druids and stop the ritual, turned myself invisible and stole the idol, and then, just as I was running away from the ritual area, a cutscene kicked in and some dude warped in out of nowhere talking in vague threats to me. Literally nothing to do with the idol, but I honestly thought I posted off a god or something lol.

nah man
dipping in this one class that gives a stat buff that stacks with all other buffs, taking a level in a completely unrelated prestige class that lets you bypass feat prerequisites, somehow becoming a monk in the middle of your adventure, and awakening a draconic bloodline you've had all along just barely is great because slightly bigger numbers

I can't blame people for metagaming because I dump the shit out of some stats and pick some broken feats/traits/backgrounds in these games too. Class dipping and multiclassing is another thing entirely. The foundation of your character itself is getting pissed on. Unless you're going for a mystic theurge or prestige class, it looks and feels so dirty. The abominations I've seen in the pathfinder circle in particular make me want to die.

At least to me there is a significant difference between optimizing your classes stats/role in the party and making a sorlock because it's a net listed build with easy mechanical abuse cases

True but warlocks have infamously shit spells in PHB for mystic arcanum or in general since you don't get lvl 5+ spell slots but spell-like abilities. So you can do well with just leaving warlock at like lvl 9 and then multiclassing.

Nah foresight and true polymorph alone carry

Is it a specific fight you're having trouble with, or just combat in general? Some of the Act 1 stuff will have the game straight up say "You can't handle this, run off and come back in a couple levels." So there's not really a standard curve on the difficulty for some fights.

I miss the "wait in place and attack the enemy when it moves" things or the defend in place. What i'm trying to Say i miss xcom combat

Are you sure it's you who suck at combat, or the combat that sucks.

I spent 1.5 hours on a single boss in Act 3. He had several bullshit mechanics, could down one of my characters in a single turn, healed when he hit and had high defense.

Ended up getting him turned into a sheep which gave me enough time to kill everyone else.

My main has a ring of rejuvenation so if I get downed I get back up. So I aggroed the boss while my other characters took shots at him. But if I was very lucky one of their attacks would hit and I'd get maybe 20 HP off him(of 250).

Finally found "Fire Shield" spell in my inventory so when he kept hitting me he damaged himself, and got a couple good hits in from the others and ultimately he took himself out.

Probably 50+ saves to try and improve rolls or I'd still be fighting him now.

I’d honestly use Astarion more if I wasn’t playing his exact class. I like his personality, and Gale’s got a likeable “smart git”-ness to him. Will’s a bit one note, but I’m interested in his storyline, I haven’t hung out enough with Karlach but she seems fun. Lae’zel is okay right now, she was being too much of a bitch at first but I’m warming up to her as she tones it down a bit, and Shadowheart has a bit of a “hidden sense of humor” that makes me like her. But I’m still early in act one, so who knows what might change.

Also this.

Baalbuddy provides good content yet again.

Also any kiwis with no sense or self-preservation want to run a multiplayer lobby. We can all be half-orc fighters name Ugly Bastard 1-4.

foresight is advantage on attack rolls.
Literally just fucking use hold X spells. At least it also instacrits for EVERYONE involved, and you can use the spellslot for something actually useful.

Oh so you're playing a lvl 20 campaign in fucking 5E somehow. Ok?
So what does mystic arcanum being shit have anything to do about it again?

How to win every fight in Baldur's Gate 3

Have one character trigger dialogue.
Have a rogue reverse pickpocket 20,000 gold onto the boss when they are distracted.
Hit the boss once with "Twist of fortune" and watch them explode.

foresight is advantage on attack rolls.

It's advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. Additionally, other creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target for the duration. You know basically every useful thing you want to roll well on in an adventuring day or you can you know give it to the fighter rogue paladin or barbarian and turn them into a combat blender for 8 hours

Literally just fucking use hold X spells.

Yeah because tier 4 bosses are famous for their incredibly low saves and lack of legendary resistances

Good for you theorybuilding for lvl 18+ campaigns that don't exist in 5E and bitching about save/suck while touting foresight as a good lvl 9 spell. Am I supposed to give a shit in the bg3 thread while talking about how mystic arcanum is shit, lord autismo of the omnisperg alliance?

Afraid I can't use any mods since I'm on PS5.

In that case for gale dip into cleric a bit for cure wounds + medium armor, give him the yeet trident, then telekinesis + healing word spam.
