I’m on Act II in balanced difficulty and haven’t suffered a total party wipe yet. I also don’t use any of the cheese bombs, arrows or poisons but I have no issue with those being an option in the game.
If you’re not using Bless or gaining advantage in combat you’ll have a harder time.
Unfortunately I missed it completely. While exploring Grymforge I accidentally took the boat back to the underdark beach and by the time I returned and fully explored the rest of Grymforge before going to meet Nere he was already dead. I didn’t realise it was on a timer.
After doing the forge stuff I then just went the mountain pass route instead to genocide the githyanki.
I would love if my partner was into videogames like myself but she’s not. However it does mean the kids have at least one parent present this week while I play BG3 in my every waking moment around work.
I think the only way to play the game is solo as it would be a nightmare trying to coordinate multiplayer for such a long game.
It’s a turn-based combat game which isn’t for everyone so if you hate those mechanics then this game isn’t for you.
I’m going to give a half-orc vengeance paladin a go with polearm mastery. For party members I think I’ll go with Shadowheart, Wyll and Gale but I might replace one of the spellcasters later on with Minsc.
That is a dildo holding the cat up, right?
And if poor rolls meant I had to murder La’Zael at the start of the game so be it. She was obviously meant to die like all those poor innocent deep gnomes.
