Good thing they've got that to fall back on, then.

Whaddya mean dumping all but Luck is sub-optimal? Pfft. Hold my coffee.

Yep, this is I. I have a terrible min-max disease. Also, sometimes I forget to play a game for a while and then I don't remember the story line leading up to where I am in the game, and then I have to play from the start again. That's why it took me like 3 years and many restarts to get through Witcher 3.

I've got 550 hours in bg3 and maybe 5 of them are in act 3

Hahahah… I have like 1200 hours and four different characters in Skyrim. Still haven’t finished it. The only game I’ve actually “finished” is AC Valhalla. And I’m now going back and doing all the DLCs.

I finally got the idea to install BG3 again and finish my Wyll origin run. Only to discover the game crashing every time I load the save.
Started a Gale origin to see if the whole game was bugged. Got halfway through act 1 until I found a way to fix my Wyll save. So I'm back there and accidentally started one of the quests I hate the most.

It wasn't so much building the character wrong but convincing the people around me that it was a legitimate character. The magic potions are also a game changer.

I didn't start college until I was 27. Didn't get a job in my field until 32.

More like your build would be fine if it wasn't PTW and the admins not only do nothing about rampant cheating they actually encourage their buddies to cheat and they announce that the next patch will make the game great again and they break features that were fine but now you have to pay for basic shit to function at all and for some fucking reason idiots keep paying for the next battle pass that is the same shit but worse as long as they can shit on those that can't or won't pay for the battle pass and it hurts because it could have been great, it has deep lore and there are many that greatly care about the world building and now they require photo ID for no other reasons than targeted ads and invasion of privacy and you have been permanently banned for the crime of reporting evidence of a child predator and your neighbors are being swatted.

This is why there should never be a level cap, and when I learn that I've built my character all wrong I should be able to just grind a bit more and fix it by spending points somewhere else.

First two BG3 runs finished no problem. After the second run, though, I had experienced the joy of Berserker Barbarian. Lost interest in every run after. “Sure Bard is cool, but I really want to chuck this guy in a pit right now.” “Oh this shadow sorcerer gets a demon dog summon! Shame I can’t hit a dude with another dude though.”

Cannot get into BG3. I bought it because I was like, "hey, D&D game that supports Mac!" and it's funny, I know how to play it if I play a rogue. That is certainly an advantage. But turn-based RPGs don't work for me. At the table it works because the DM is your friend and you're all having a good time, everyone wants the story to go a certain way, whereas with a video game you have to "beat" the computer. It's adversarial vs friendly, and until a game can capture that, make me feel like I'm having fun... I feel like games don't 'get' D&D.
You want a game that's great for ADHD/Autism? (Well, maybe. I'm undiagnosed. Also, I don't speak for everyone.) I've been having a blast with Blue Prince. It's obtuse AF, it doesn't tell you much. It seems like a dumb puzzle game, build rooms randomly to try to get to the top. Oh, you need a key, that closet that gave you a dead end, a key, a gem, and a coin might have been useful! So you "call it a day" (quit) and start over the next day, all the rooms reset... there's no penalty for "losing" and AFAIK you can't "die" (it's not that kinda game). Note what there's 2 of in nearly every room. Note the relationship between them. Then you get a pad and paper and start writing it down... the stuff you "find" in this game is wild. I feel like I'm not smart enough to play this game. But I don't wanna look up spoilers because I'm afraid they'll give the whole thing away and it'll be over. But I also feel like I learn something with each run. Next time, I think I'm gonna look around outside as well, if I don't run out of steps (that's a whole thing but it's explained in the beginning).

I am obsessed with Blue Prince, myself and some friends have been playing together and it's the coolest game I've ever played. Truly one of the best games of all time

You could always run a push caster with Thunderwave and Gust of Wind to push people off cliffs while you're ramping up. Then when you get Telekinesis, you can throw dudes at dudes with your mind.

Never heard of it, but you and the other person who replied to you have made me decide to check it out.

I couldnt make it past that first goblin cave. And I beat BG1&2 . I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I shouldn't have this big of a problem!

I swear a huge part of it is the action economy. You have four people vs 12. If you aren't taking out like one each turn you end up in a slow ass death spiral.
The game also expects you to do a shit ton of the side content, but doesn't always sign post it well, and it also clearly has an idea of the order the side content should be tackled in that there's no sign posting for at all.
I can see the bones of a great game, but I don't understand why I don't see more people complaining about the abysmal combat balance.

If only. There's only two countries that I'm aware of in the world that will let me transfer my graduate degree into something potentially useful.

Starting out in squid central was cool as hell! But the difficulty curb shouldn't be this steep!

wrote last edited by [email protected]I mean... I am down to play Baldur's Gate if you ever are. Not a joke or anything. I am dead serious. I love to play Baldur's Gate with people and I am generally good about helping someone learn how to play a game without overshadowing them. I have about a thousand hours in the game. I have been the main character enough. But seriously, if you do want to play at any point, just send me a message.
