Literally 600 of those are from my stalker mass rating every one of my posts. I see you've started stalking me too. User0001 took a lot more work to get him worked up. Something about you Larian TBers makes for real degenerates.

5E extremely simplifies bonuses and progressions: you no longer have an attack bonus and various saves bonuses, instead you have a single bonus (called proficiency) that goes from +2 at level 1 to a maximum of +6 at level 17. Everytime you roll to do something, if you are "proficient" in wathever you are trying to do, you add your proficiency bonus to the relevant ability bonus for that task.

Characters' abilities are capped at 20 (which gives a +5 bonus) and there are very few ways of getting higher scores (very few means just two or three in the entire game).

Another important thing to know is that there are very few ways to get a bonus on your roll (a couple of spells and class features), so usually your maximum bonus on any given roll can't exceed +11.

Which is boring, stupid as hell, and kills all sense of diversity and power progression.
You're one of those faggy could never get laid 3.5E powergamers aren't you?

LoL keep your triple garbage production while i enjoy the owlcat's pathfinder games :smug:. Talking about AAA as a good thing in 2020.....yeah the isolation must have driven you mad.
What are you even talking about, dude? I presume the process went something along these lines -> WotC wanted to make a AAA D&D video game, perhaps an RPG -> The only viable candidates were Obsidian and Larian -> Obsidian's track record is of financial failure with their only RPG franchise -> ergo Larian who have had 2 successful RPGs already -> perhaps Larian and WotC decided together a Baldur's Gate game would be the most appropriate due to being the D&D game with the most name recognition. This doesn't have anything to do with AAA "being a good thing" or me implying that, or whatever other nonsense goes through your head on a daily basis.


How does character development in the 5th edition work ?
Technically, it doesn't have any outside of leveling up. Feats are an optional rule (but Larian will use it), and a 20th lvl Ranger is not significantly different than any other 20th level Ranger.

5e has optional mechanics like Faction and Piety systems as alternate forms of progression, and Larian will have their own ideas on this such as the Tadpole Skill Tree.

The only optional mechanic to redeem 5E is to revert it to 2E or, maybe, 3. Those editions had glaring flaws but highly redeeming qualities. 5e is babies first PnP campaign.

This is literally what I wake up to every day.

Wait, am I not your only stalker? Am I at least your favorite one? I even summoned you from the shadows!

You're not nearly as degenerate or committed as User0001

Honestly having any discussion with Larian fanboys gets you spam rated because like the company who's shit they swallow no matter what, you guys are all fucking idiots. Doesn't happen in any other threads except for Larian. Something about swen brings out the degenerate scum in people

I thought that was Bioware and RTWP

BioWare maybe. The common thing between Larian fans and bioware fans is that they both release such shit games ( with BioWare it's been a really long time since they got anything good, pre Dragon age basically) that anyone willing to be a fan of either company already has a mental deficiency. I don't think any of the real Baldur's Gate fans consider themselves BioWare fans in this day and age.

"Special" is maybe a more appropriate phrasing for the retarded button when applied to you, Ontopoly.

Who's more special?
Me, a guy who just hates Larian studio and makes a bunch of comments about it.
Or
You, a guy who dedicated a bad amount of time spent going through every comment I ever made so you could rate it as retarded? All because I called you a pussy for threatening to put me on your ignore list because I called larian shit?

One of us is special, a pussy who can't even go through with ignoring someone, and a Larian shill. Guess who it is?

You remember incorrectly

In real-time: If you move the mage away from the enemy that is trying to engage him/her, you can have a character that simultaneously is engaging the moving enemy; instigating at least one attack of opportunity every six seconds (infinitely until the enemy dies).
One attack of opportunity every 6 seconds is not that much [infinitely]. Especially since you think an enemy can walk up to the mage in one turn [YES, in turn-based, compared to real-time]. It's either the enemy reaches my mage in one turn or takes long enough to get there that it dies from attack of opportunities. The fact that aoes exist like that is nice though because it works both ways. Sometimes it's worth the risk to take the extra aoes to get rid of a mage. [The mage YOU are running towards with a warrior IN REAL-TIME will not simultaneously move away so that an enemy get infinite AoO on your warrior (Attack of Opportunity is NOT shortened to AoE!!!!)]


You're going in the ignore. I can't bother with poor reading comprehension.

I remember coming up with the perfect rebuttal to your reply, highlighted green text and everything. Since you decided to go back 60 pages to impress me, why don't you go one less to see how much of a baby you acted afterwards.

You're leaving out a bunch of stuff that happened after that but I'm not going to go back to quote it because despite your 500+ retarded ratings, I'm not actually retarded. Unlike the guy who just went diving through who knows how many pages of shit so he could find a nugget that he could twist into making himself not look like a pathetic cunt.

Plot twist: Ontopoly actually is the main villain in Baldur's Gate 3.

Ultra plot twist: Ontopoly actually is an undercover Larian employee trying to make BG3 haters look bad. Bad news for you, undercover Larian employee: we love our Ontopoly!

Plot twist: DraQ Firdraaq (the brother of Firkraag) is actually the main hero in Baldur's Gate 3.
Extra twist: DraQ is Swen's liaison to deploy TB agenda and make us forget sweet RTwP. Bad news for you, it only makes us stronger.

Instead of you talking about a system you don't know shit about I'd like to hear why you ignored me but still decided to comment.
Because:
Also what's up with shit talking me and then immediately ignoring me. At least have the balls to read my reply then ignore me

Now give it a rest.

Once again, give it a rest.

Eat my ass bitch.


I'm convinced you guys only egg me on so I can bump your stupid game's thread so you guys can jerk each other off about how popular and successful it is already.

Are you some type of degenerate that only communicates through memes? Imagine making a whole meme just so you can give a quick reply that's as shit posty as everything else on this site.

Once again, give it a rest.

I'm pretty sure you don't want me to give it a rest, considering how much you beg for my attention all the time.

No, I really respect your opinions. I think BG3 is headed the bad turn with TB and writing.
It's not just them just heading there. It's influencing the industry to head that way too because a bunch of casual degenerate Larian cucks will buy that crap up.
