It’s not just internet denizens by even a close margin. It’s not just younger folk.

I’ll put more trust in MCDM’s paid playtesters over unpaid forum theory crafting what has a wider appeal of fun while fitting the four words goal.

I’m not sure what the game mechanic for this would be. But I know it was not fun. 😜

Right. He said it was designed with that expectation, but room for exceptions.

Yup. Matt even accounted for people wanting to use different definitions of the terms they are using than what MCDM is defining. “Knock yourself out”, he said. It feels uncharitable bad faith to just keep on going past what Matt said.

You all can watch what Matt actually means with heroic as one of his “four words”. It’s at about the 6:31 mark and about 3 minutes long. If you can’t be bothered to check his own words, to summarize, “heroic” here means characters who want to be good guys, do the right thing. Not be murder...

Hmm, if they could do a skills ribbon I wouldn’t see much problem giving Monks expertise in Insight and Medicine. Kinda leaning into the bodily perfection and mental training. Fine flavor that isn’t doing too much.

How does the game campaign story play out when four players fill out a campaign and not take any origin character? No Shadowheart around for Nightsong thread, no Laezel for kithrak Voss stuff… etc.? Does it still hold up or is it more of a mess?

Interestingly, wasn’t the trident back in 1st edition something like 3d4 damage to large creatures? I may be remembering wrong…

I don’t know why I was so against the laying as an origin character other than none were classes I was interested strongly. Respeccing was not on my mind as an option either though frankly im Curious about taking any origin and rebuilding as a class I want to do. I did a custom character monk...

It’s good to know that I wasn’t just imagining things with regards to resting consequences. My stretching rests out was just myself making things challenging, and all the “hurry up get these things out of our heads!” didnt have a game consequence for malingering. Honestly the game could have a...

I had some of this happen in my first play through. I was exploring down the Risen Road as part of zigzagging across the map filling in the map first as evasively as possible, heard some commotion to the side and kept on going down the road. Did some things … entered the goblin camp with Sazza’s...

I have had a long habit of pushing off resting as long as possible to the point of continuing to explore and even go into combats depleted of spell slots and casters having to rely on cantrips, potions, thrown grenades. Has anyone found there were issue by casually taking abundant long rests...

The Underdark arcane tower was where I first understood the value of feather fall in exploring. I have an innate distrust of the main front door entrance instilled in my from decades of D&D play so I always look for the alternative way in and go there. Watching my monk and Lae’zel make...

I think there is some truth with this. But coming into BG3 with only reading a minimal amount of active game play or mechanics postings, this was not clear for me going in. Also, maybe I missed some content, but I did not notice any unique spells on scrolls until mid Act 3, when my characters...

That reads like an uncharitable misreading of what I wrote. I would be interested in an argument that the wizard class itself is a top caster class in BG3 regardless of subclass. From what I’ve watched of other builds, sorcerer builds improve on most things wizards could do. With the wide...

While a lot of the experience through Baldur’s Gate 3 is as a fighting monsters tactical game, there are a surprising amount of magic that can in fact happen outside of combat for the heritage of game I was used to. in my opinion, most subclasses of wizards underperform in tactical compared to...

I took her down because I was trying to stick to a good path. But I’ve heard of you don’t kill her she reappears in Act 2 in a scene where she is scolded for failures in Act 1. Not sure how that goes if you’re going for a good path.

It’s amazing how you can’t control your impulse to step right up to performative insults. You don’t even know me but hand wave at the worst assumptions like you shouldn’t have any negative consequences.
