Baldur’s Gate 3

After about 20 hours, Baldur’s Gate 3.

Want to like it, but I hate the interface on console, and somehow hate it more on PC.

Also, I’m gonna save-scum anyway. Just let me have the damn roll when I want it. — DrugBust

On the one hand, I’m really impressed with the level of detail that is brought to the writing and its characters. On the other hand….I really hate playing the actual game. Like oh man, it’s just largely a frustrating experience to either control characters or move the camera.

Also not helping: That the supposed easy mode that’ll let me experience that detailed story mode I’m enjoying will still wreck my shit simply because of a bad dice roll. — SkaOreo

I’ve got 45 hours in this game and I just can’t get into it. The role-playing aspect is great fun but it’s just so RNG heavy in a very unfun way. A lot of people say “lean into your failures, it makes the game more fun.” However my failure tends to be [that] every character can’t roll above a 3 in combat for 2 straight rounds, and the enemies can’t seem to roll anything less than an 18. My failures are the character with 93% chance to hit with advantage still critically fails and the enemy I impose disadvantage on critically hits with BOTH its attacks. Playing BG3 is like playing with a DM that doesn’t allow house rules because they stick to the rules to the letter and refuse to take pity on you if you happen to have an extremely unlucky streak. — Axetwin
