That's 5e for you

I realize lvl 6 spell of Sorc is noob trap and respec into Sorlock 10 Sor/ 2 Lock and find this is the most all rounded multiclass setup in the game with both good offensive and utility.
Warlock (or Eldritch blast) is such an balance issue in this game.

Pure Sorc is the most dangerous caster in the game. You're high.

What did i miss? All lvl 6 spells feel very mid and you can only cast them one time.

Chain Lightning? Globe of Invulnerability? Upcast Conjure Elemental?

It's a huge power spike

 

[jackofshadows]

Upcast of anything else, also. Upcasting + use of sorc abilities = unlimited pawa.

 

[Yosharian]

Yeah and the game fucking throws free casts of that level 6 slot at you

There's two staves, an amulet, and a few other items iirc

I didn't play for a long time but as I remember effective spellcaster level is calculated just by adding levels from all classes, and as a sorc you gain spell slots from ESL not levels, and you can cast wizard spells that you learned from scrolls with sorcerer spell slots. I am 99% certain that I had chain lightning with my 2 tempest cleric (for destructive wraith) / 8 sorc / 2 divination wizard (for portent dice). Did they patch it out or is my memory just really bad?

Only for cantrips and that has some limitations. You cast everything else by using a spell slot of whatever level (f.e. up-casting).

 

[kalash19]

With only 2 level at lock, you can shoot powerful Eldritch blast 3 times per action, that makes the offensive of Sorlock just on par with lvl 11 fighter (do 3 attacks per action). With haste and use quickened spell, you can shoot 9 times.

Why would you just want to cast limited times with lvl 6 spells then? the trade off for 2 lvl of lock is so great.

 

[Lacrymas]

You go lock/fighter/sorc so you can get Action Surge and cast even more eldritch blasts. However, warlocks in BG3 are weak imo because of a) no limitation on magical items that can be equipped and b) overpowered items in general. Warlocks are good in low magic settings, but drop off hard when good gear is on the table.

Chain lightning is strong but you need wet status and elemental adept lighting feat to deal high damage with it, so many enemies have lightning resistance.
Globe of invulnerability? Good offensive is the best defensive, i dont need this spell.
Conjure Elemental? I dont need cannon fodders, my sorlock is tanky enough to be a frontline caster with ketheric shield, dark justiciar armor, harper amulet....

Only lvl 6 spell really looks fancy to me is disintegrate but it's a hit or miss spell.

Summons are busted.

Yes but he's talking about Warlock

Like something that makes character building and classes more fun, and deletes the pozz and other SJW junk

The slide on that glock mod looks way too long. Tilt your wrist up even a hair and you'll break skin.

A higher difficulty automatically makes the game better.

 

[luj1]

True but that guy just scaled HP and stats up, encounter design etc is still the same

Gonna take that as a NO

Nexus most popular mods of all time are cosmetic rubbish and nothing else. Size of nipples and genitalia, etc.

The encounter design is already good in this game except for a few situations.
The enemy simply lacks the statistics to be a serious threat.
In terms of encounter design, there's not much to criticize about BG3.
If we compare it with the questionable quality of the designs by Obsidian or Owlcat, BG3 is probably one of the best encounters designs we've had in CRPGs in recent years.

I miss the old Codex where people would rip apart a game like DA:O's writing and analyze minutiae of the lore while DA:O isn't even that egregious most of the time. Now a fanfic-tier game has ardent champions who will defend every single part of its overly bland, sanitized and nonsensical plot and characters.

The Codex has fallen, millions must roll the die.
Personally I couldn't give two shits about the pros and cons of the game, it's 5e, I'll never even pirate it.

To me the most disappointing part of this game is how they butchered every interesting concepts they have just to appeal to the mass auidences, and they admit it openly like that's a good thing.
