    The fact you can handle every situation any way you want and the environment reactivity is great. Its truly like playing tabletop DnD. The GM sets up an interesting story and you are just like, "Fuck that, we kill the quest giver".

    • @Gofr5
      @Gofr5 Год назад +67

      I actually did kill the quest giver at one point in act 2 because they were refusing to talk to me after I did, or rather didn't do, some stuff they didn't like; so I was just like "well screw you too! Gonna kill you and find my own way around." I lost a lot of hours aimlessly wandering around afterwards before finally bumping in to a completely random NPC out in the world map that finally gave me some direction as to where to go.

      Also, character creation and building is very simplified (and not in a bad way). You can't go wrong going 12 levels in a class without multiclassing, if you select recommended attributes at the start of the game, you get a mostly optimal character. And the race of the character changes very little except giving RP options to choose from during dialogue.
      After finding one NPC, you can even change and respec your class (including your starting attributes) for 100 gold. So the option is always there to try something new or try some weird multiclass. One of the few games where you don't feel like you HAVE to pick the correct or optimal choice all the time.

The lava stopped coming out and I didn't understand how to kill him so I had to work out how to escape the fight and survive to come back. Then I came back understanding the fight. He's already spawned so I had to set up. Jump down to the mold, put in the ore and move him into position as I'm fighting. I saved before and died 6 -7 times but beating him on hard mode was so rewarding. I nukes him down in 1 turn.

    The problem with not going back to previous save, is you potentially missing some story because the game requires a 20 roll, and you are unlucky. Unless you plan to play this game 20 times to explore the story and dialogue between characters, it's better to just reload and get that roll you need. And probably it is necessary to change the way the dice rolls to make to completely random.

      skill checks can be really bad you never know what the failed check left you out of unless you look it up, at best it might be a short quest and some loot or it could lock you out of the good ending 30 hours later

      I feel like the game is replayable enough that I'm totally fine with just playing again, maybe with a class that would've made those rolls a little more easily

    0:50 There's almost no plot armor in BG3. In my first run Lae'zel died on the Nautiloid fighting Zhalk, then I just left her (looted) corpse on the beach and went on my way.
