Should just try improving your IQ over 50, gitting gud and realizing thunderweave, haste, bless, fireball, command and rightclicking, is all you'll ever need for the whole campaign, to instawin every encounter in the game on Tactician. Cope as much as you want, everyone who played the game and isn't a game journo, knows the balance is shit.
Which of these have you played: BG, BG2, IWD, SoD, NWN, NWN2, MotB, Solasta?

All of them. Well, can't say I really played NWN, I tried 3 times but every time I dropped the playthrough after 5-10h, one of the worst RPGs I've ever touched, it felt more like a very janky and retarded Diablo clone.

Fabulously successful new entry in genre with 1 mil players: hurr, durr genre's dead.
A game aimed at Redditors, Streamers and Journos.
Its obviously aimed at the former Bioware audience, and the already existing Divinity OS audience. And it obviously delivered for both groups.
BTW quests reqularly have more solutions than most of those in the Codex top 10 RPGs, if not all of them.

Agreed, I guess Larian did overpromise and that’s on them but even with the fake branching dialogue in most conversations there are more than a few quests that have consequences further into the game. Thus far it does not feel super different from Arcanum.

This freak must be german.

Can confirm.

Also, who's that guy? He hung around the Defiled temple and tried to get out of there after I slaughtered the place. Nothing much else going on with him so far.
Just a Professioneller Dienstleister für die Befragung von Gefängnisinsassen.

At least that's what I gathered from our short talk. I'd say freelance, probably in high favor in the Underdark party scene. He was supposed to help the goblins interrogate the prisoner but got discouraged by their lack of sophistication in the means of torture.

Add custom hirelings too and make it so I don't have to download a mod to fix the jump/shove action economy.
Also make tactician + mode. Tactician stats are too low considering how insane the items are.
For the difficulty having sliders like Owlcat's PF games would be ideal, I prefer the AI and extra moves on tactician but would like the enemies to have the same HP as in balanced (I know it's only 30% extra but I'm impatient and don't like it when the mopping up stage drags on), and someone who wants more of a challenge could amp it up further.

Bard could use a Proficiency bonus for their Unique Cantrip so it isn’t useless.

That’s Owlcat level incompetence.

Bard is OP and should be removed completely, making the fucking clown class so strong is the biggest sin of 5E. Who the fuck thought it's a great idea to give them both extra attack and full spellcasting and at the same time be a best skill monkey, best talker and also have shitload of powerful utility abilities, like what the fuck, how some faggot at WotC arrived at the conclusion that "jack of all trades, master of none" archetype, should instead become "master of all", it's supposed to be a funny drunk charlatan tavern singer class, not some insane cringe power fantasy shit.

it's also the most thirsty class, making it ultra-degenerate.

Like more people will play Bard from now on. Byebye Paladin.
