    I’m ok with this. The difficulty curve is pretty uneven. Also, if you’re a beginner, it’s largely reversed, with some pretty lethal encounters at the start.

      Yeah Witcher 3 and Skyrim are the most recent RPGs I’ve played. This is very next level without much guidance as to what’s what.

      I’m experimenting and being free with the reloads to try and get a grip but I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. I’ll get there.

        Don’t feel bad about reloading to figure out how you want the story to go. BG3 is one of the best story generators in the genre and a lot of the dialogue options have unclear implications (e.g. just-friends dialogue options with gale accidentally leading to romance is one of the fixes in this patch). The point is for you to be able to build the story you want through your actions while still having consequences for those choices, not to pigeonhole you into making the “right” choices.

      The group of Intellect Devourers right after the crash killed me about 5 times because I haven’t played BG in about 10 years lol. I had to turn it down till I got back in the swing of things.

        I ran into that problem.multiple times on tactician now, I believe it’s because I usually don’t kill all imps in the last nautiloid fight and don’t level up. On level 2 that fight feels very reaonable. Anyways, you should always sneak up on the sleeping ones to wuickly get rid of one and then it’s 2v1 until the devourer from the back shows up.

      Yeah I’m cruising through on my first run on balanced and killing a lot as an evil character, but I played DOS2 and that was damn hard. I can understand new players running into a lot of challenges
