Hello everyone. Hope you all had a relaxing weekend. I have been playing more Balatro and Nightreign, but I spent this morning readying another playthrough of New Vegas that I will be undertaking soon. Have a good week everyone!

I finally bought the bullet and bought Baldur’s Gate 3.
It’s good, but I’m experienced with NWN-type games and the D&D 5e system, and I still can’t quite figure out how the two have been reconciled here.
Also I’ve been playing for less than ten hours and I’ve encountered at least one quest-breaking bug already. In a game that’s more than two years old.
This is why I usually avoid AAA titles.
I’m in the same boat comrade. It feels really weird all around. And some of the adjustments made because the game designers working on Baldur’s Gate 3 realized 5e’s rules just don’t work make it especially weird. Like how the changes to jumping make it practically the most effective method of locomotion in the game. Not enough movement to get anywhere near that enemy? Just jump, it solves all your problems.
And if you don’t need to jump, then bonus action potion chugging makes you practically immortal.
I’m playing on the hardest difficulty because I knew my familiarity with the genre and with 5e would make the game too easy, but it’s even easier than I thought. The game is straight up cheating, like every enemy gets like an arbitrary +10 to every roll (bounded numbers mean this basically guarantees every attack roll hits always) and the game is still too easy. My friend is a goblin ass barrel hoarder and if we ever run into a situation that’s tricky to handle conventionally we drop 3 explosive barrels and autowin.
It’s just a weird game from so many angles
