Didn't complete BG3 until my 7th playthrough

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.

The cool thing is life isn't over, you CAN respecc, just ask my cousin who switched from janitor/ gamer to software engineer over a few years of night study at the age of 35
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!

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.

It's not wrong if you enjoyed it. Minmaxing kills the fun a lot of the time too.

I got it on family share, if you can teach me something, I'm willing to learn. You should find me underneath the same name.

Yeah, only if you can afford the respec fees or absolutely ruin years of your life with grinding.
What a miserable existence to force people to go through. If life was a game, I'd be getting a refund.
