BG3 is nothing but stumbling into encounters where characters are OHKOed. Stupid Souls logic to game design/difficulty these days, at least Garrus won't let me down.

Early encounters in BG3 can be rather difficult due to the lower health of your party, but you really shouldn't be getting wiped in 1 turn unless you mismanage your positioning.

First few levels can be tough, specially if you do certain battles first. After level 5 spells start becoming op and it becomes more manageable.

It's good well before level 5. It's just level 5 is the first real power spike people get as more class features go online. Except for Rogues.

Yeah, because Rogues are OP as soon as they unlock hide and dash as bonus actions.

Rogue gets its power spike at level 3 when you pick Thief like the gods intended for you to.

Bg3 is not my type of game either.
The combat was manageable for me tho. Found it enjoyable most of the time. I like point n click gameplay.

I just got burnt out from picking up and sending items back to camp . Was picking up everything i could see through the in-game highlight function. Started taking up more time than I'd like (I was still lvl 5 at 35 hours mark). I can't help it either lol.

I did this for gothic 2 as well but had to use mod to highlight items. 60 hours later and I was still in act 2 iirc.

Yeah I can't play rpgs that have too many interactable items. Just way too stressful and not fun for me.

You don't have to use complicated references to other games, just say "I'm not good at old-school RPGs".

Not quite the same.

5e D&D hits a big power spike at level 5. That's when casters begin unlocking spells like Fireball.

Getting there is definitely a feature, but it's supposed to be a relatively safe coast into that point as the game pretends to be hard/gritty/low-powered before that. On paper, anyway.

It is definitely not a "20 hours in" kind of problem. But, depending on your taste for how power scales and progresses, it's still a problem.

God I fucking love how you can coordinate shit in Fallout 1/2 and have it actually work. That sort of organic chemistry, emergent gameplay, that made BOTW such a hit.

they came out in this liminal period where aaa video game writing was starting to get good but was not quite there yet, while rpg elements were beginning to get unpopular and BioWare was grappling with how to mass market stuff to people. The result is a very middling squandering of potential

The learning curve is steep starting out and every early fight feels like the enemies are hammering you in comparison to the damage you can put out. It totally turned around for me once I hit level 5, I never really struggled again after.

Also having started a new game, the beginning isn't as unapproachable as it seemed. Enemies still hit really hard but after knowing your way around all the mechanics (especially positioning, very important) it's not nearly so tough.

Don't forget you can lower the difficulty too, it's what it's there for. I know for some weird reason difficulty options have become kinda controversial (again, seemed like we were past it at one point) but it's much better than not playing the game at all.

The best advice I can give to any BG3 player is to always buy every potion in stock from every vendor you meet, because you can never have too many and drinking one is a Bonus Action.
