I left BG3 somewhere on the second map, in that temple ruin. The game is nice and fun, except for the combat. I hate the combat and it ruins the entire game for me.
What were some things you disliked about combat? I personally liked the freedom combat encounters gave, coating everyone in grease was hilarious and also somehow a very viable strat lol
I mean, it's just my personal tastes. I enjoy a good story and exploring worlds and solving riddles. I dislike combat. And in BG3 it's especially frustrating because it's so complex. You can only pick a limited number of attacks/spells, those have limited ranges and cooldown times. It's work and not fun.
My friend, I agree with you completely. Depending on what you’re playing it on, I highly suggest WeMod or Cheat Engine if you are on PC. With that being said, the game is absolutely phenomenal in every other area. I hated the combat in Divinity so I stopped playing that game pretty quickly, but the story and world building they’ve done with BG3 is out of this world good (in my opinion). Hopefully you’ll be able to complete it and see that all the combat was worth it in the end. 😁
Disclaimer: I just don't think this game is for us (or me) and want to do a mini rant. I'm not saying it's a bad game.
Yeah I'm at Act 2, and just got off one big combat encounter and then another 12 enemies jump out at me around the next corner for ANOTHER unskippable encounter and it's like COME ON why does it have to be so involved, so tedious, so feelbad. I'll pull up a game for a play session and an hour later I'm still in the same room. The most fun I have is when I find some new way to cheese the AI, because playing by the game's rules offers no more novelty or pleasure for me, only endurance and a trial of patience.
Anyway, I might try again on the lowest difficulty level, but then I fear the combat would turn into a chore with no challenge. What's weird to me is I loved the combat in Divinity 2 and often wished there was more, but while I recognise their shared DNA, I really rue getting tangled up in the combat in BG3.
Anyway to be fair many encounters are skippable, or even alterable by your actions outside of combat, so that is very cool.
In closing thank you for reading, and I'm genuinely happy for anyone who is enjoying this game, and I'll be happy if they release even more for you. God knows we haven't got a big one like this in a very long time so enjoy :)
