How difficult is this game to get into if I've never played the prior entries (or DND) before?

There's tutorials but you might have a learning curve.

So I reloaded the encounter and this time Karlach burnt herself to death after her rage since she'd been on 1hp
To add a final insult to injury apparently you can't remove dead party members from the party so I have to spend a revivify scroll on her

I dont get your posts. You claim to like the game but everything you post about is negative. Just dont play the game.

There's things i dont like about the game but i dont need to harp on it. Everything ive seen you post about is so cynical and negative

The combat is also more tactical because it's pretty much DoS2 in that department more so than traditional turn based rpg combat like the original fallouts and Pathfinder WotR or real time with pause like pillars of eternity and the infinity engine games.

Karlach strikes me as a major writing downgrade from the other party members so far. Like this one is just somebody's OC at the office

I like Karlach quite a bit, but I agree she feels the least fleshed out of all the companions. Which makes sense since she was the last companion added, and never made it into EA as a companion (she did exist as a quest giver)

I feel like I've said a lot of positive stuff about the game over the last two threads. I generally post in a moment when something makes a big impression on me. In this case a silly mechanic caused something to happen to me twice in a row. These may have been negative, but "cynical" strikes me as a mischaracterization

There's definitely a learning curve, but it's not terribly steep to enjoy the game. Basically pick a class that sounds like it's up your alley and focus on the mechanics of that, then sprawl out to the basics of other classes, your party members. Don't focus too much on the nitty gritty of D&D, just know everything is dice rolls and the higher the better.

I went back to look because i didnt wanna call you out if im wrong and i wanted to apologize but nope a lot of your posts seem to be gloating when you find a fault.

You harp on about bugs or how something is wrong. You have a few positive posts but to me a lot of your post come off as you enjoying to hate on the game.

Like if you dont like the game you dont like the game and thats cool. Not everyone is gonna love it but your posts just come off as trying to rain on the parade of the people enjoying the game

I think it's 1,000 gold per pound. So unless you're hauling 250,000 gold chances are good it is something else weighing you down.

A big culprit is Camp Supplies. Other than carrying one or two bags with you, for 2 or 4 pounds, everything else can be dropped off at your Camp itself. Otherwise you can easily be hauling around 30-60 pounds of food before you know it.

Can you use camp supplies directly from your drop chest, or do they need to be in your inventory?

I mean, it's not huge, but it's currently 20lbs I could be using to carry something else instead. It's the largest item when I sort inventory by weight. Although the alchemy pouch isn't that far behind it. I probably need to sort that out at some point.

I just hit her with a fire arrow to reveal her. Anything with an AoE effect should work, really. An alchemist firebomb or something like that

You have to pop them out but it's more inconvenient than anything.

Don't forget alchemy supplies either, my main was carting around thirty pounds of random shit in a bag before I caught on.

After making it through level 5, respecing Shadow heart into a war cleric, and getting better spells for Gale, combat has been much more enjoyable.
Also helps to take advantage of all the items I have stashed in a bag. Bad habit of not wanting to use stuff until I really need it. (I always need it)

Hotfix 3.

One part was cool:
"Also, weve decided to make the Blue Behir Dice permanently available to all players. Some lucky players may have gotten hold of it early, but well just roll with it."

I love how they spoiler plot-relevant fixes so you don't just read over them accidently.

You don't actually see anything, as they're both "clothed" (if you want to call loincloths "clothes"), but as soon as you enter, you knew exactly what they were doing.

Kinda sad they nerfed "The Barn" scene a bit from Early Access.
In EA when you clicked on the door it started dialogue where you could hear something going on in there and your companions had comments about whether or not you should open the door or just move on.
It was pretty funny.

There are still a few open quests I have about finding people who got captured, but I'm assuming that's an Act 3 thing since I don't think there's anything more I can do here.

I'm still curious if I should have tried using the flask before I killed everyone but I can't seem to open it yet, only inspect it

oh I actually tried again and opened it. that fight seemed pretty underwhelming but I guess I should have opened it at lvl 3

It doesn't exist. What Larian did do though was roll several Hexblade features into the Pact of the Blade option from the PHB. Immediately you get to use Charisma to make your attacks with your Pact weapon. At level 5 you get Extra Attack with it, no need to burn an Invocation. You still need an Invocation to add your Charisma Modifier as extra Necrotic damage with each hit though.
