    I couldnt make it past that first goblin cave. And I beat BG1&2 . I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but I shouldn’t have this big of a problem!

      I swear a huge part of it is the action economy. You have four people vs 12. If you aren’t taking out like one each turn you end up in a slow ass death spiral.

      The game also expects you to do a shit ton of the side content, but doesn’t always sign post it well, and it also clearly has an idea of the order the side content should be tackled in that there’s no sign posting for at all.

      I can see the bones of a great game, but I don’t understand why I don’t see more people complaining about the abysmal combat balance.

          for bg3 just go down every path, never go to far without backtracking and checking the others, I often would seperate my team just to not miss stuff, could usually tell what would be easier to do first

      I mean… I am down to play Baldur’s Gate if you ever are. Not a joke or anything. I am dead serious. I love to play Baldur’s Gate with people and I am generally good about helping someone learn how to play a game without overshadowing them. I have about a thousand hours in the game. I have been the main character enough. But seriously, if you do want to play at any point, just send me a message.
