Somewhere during the Early Access Larian introduced the loaded / Karmic dice, to even out extreme effects of dice rolls. In EA this was enabled at default, and I assume the same will be true for the final release. It feels like it is a less pure D&D feature, since D&D gameplay is based on die rolls.
What do you think? Play with or without the Karmic Dice option enabled? And why?
I’m fairly familiar with 3.5 and pathfinder 1 rules but never played 5e, how would it translate in terms of character building?
Severely overqualified. 5e is much simpler than 3.5 and PF1. If you’re familiar with those, you could probably even make fairly good builds in Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous (the PF1 video games) without any guides.
I haven’t touched BG3 Early Access specifically, but 5e has very little in common with 3.5e/PF1e.
