What level were you when entering act 2? I entered at level 4 and it said "you're severely underlevelled and your experience will be lamentable" or something like this. I did ALL ACT 1 CONTENT, there was nothing else I could do.
Pissed me off that they balanced it like this. This is a monorail game, it's supposed to make sure I'm okay on XP no matter how I do your quests.
Upon entering Act 2, the undead fight is crazy difficult. I had to cheese with barrelmancy, exploded 5 of them.
Bad experience.
I was around level 5 or 6 I think, have you done everything in the underdark? If you're talking about that undead fight in the mountain pass that is overtuned though, the rest of the mountain pass isn't as hard

Level 6,5 for me. Explore the Underdark, if you're underleveled.

BG3 is the Marvel movie of cRPGs.

It is a big budget version of a popular iteration of an IP that's older than most people on this forum. It's highly polished (besides bugs, which tbh, are expected), is very cinematic, and appeals to broad audiences.

It's success is practically guaranteed unless they fucked it up, which they didn't.

After having played through the entire game twice (second one was a five-hour speedrun), I'll try to be objective and say that it is a very competently made game, but with massive flaws that make it specifically unlikable for codexers.

The top three being poor writing (Larian, so it's expected), brain-dead companions and surprisingly, being very railroady.

I fucked this up, almost, myself. I took the Mountain Pass, completely bypassing the Underdark. HUGE mistake, thankfully, I backtracked. The Underdark of Act 1 is enormous if you complete it and then take the Mountain Pass you'll be deep into Level 5 possibly 6.

I was at level 5, still haven't done all the side quests. May save them for 2nd playthrough instead.

Yesss! I have finally reached act two! After over 60h of gameplay! This is a long game. Good.
You subhumans have lost any right to complain about trannies and nig nogz in video games embrace the goyslop there is plenty more where that came from.
I mean this shit is never going to stop. Culture is only getting more and more pozzed. I like video games so dont have much of a choice

Is impossible you did all the act 1 content and you are just level 4 i did everything in act one and i was 6 almost 7
There is a lot of hidden stuff around this game wants you to explore.
No, I just did it mostly by killing shit and failing quests naturally without reloading, when it happened.
E.g. the shipment quest I failed by opening it before I even received the quest, so I didn't know.
I explored every nook and cranny and killed all antagonists.
The only quest I turned down was in relation to that tiefling NPC being chased by the church, cause I figure let them. I killed all other tieflings anyway.

As far as I remember, Westerners always considered Slavs as subhuman too.
You're talking to one of your Polish comrades, most Westerners always considered Slavs as conservative and respectuous. It's a cliché.
This forum is not reality.

Yeah, that seems highly unlikely. I haven't finished half the Underdark map nor the Hag Quest or swamp area when I reached lvl 5 and I did not resolve everything by fighting.
Something is off here.

D-damnit in retrospect he was only pretending to be retarded and I took the bait. Shameful display on my part.

To be fair there are actual homosexuals and troons shitposting here like that and I just replied to one of them. Honest mistake could have happened to anyone.
