Fuck. I didn't pick spiderwalk on my level up. Thought it wouldn't work there.

There are Slippers of Spider Climbing for sale in the main city. There are other spells like Misty Step, Fly etc that will get you into certain places.

You'll be going back to most locations for sidequests so I wouldn't worry if you can't get to it straight away.

I fought the Ogres and it made me realize how useless my spell selection was. Couldn't Charm, because apparently Ogres aren't humanoids. Couldn't Levitate, because they're so fat. Ray of Enfeeblement? Blindness? Good luck with that - I doubt they have problems rolling a CON save.

The best I could do was put +AC for my priest and paladin and hope they miss, while I chip away their armor. By the way, Sleep is very problematic in use, because I can't tell if enemies have to be fully in range or being halfway in the border will get them affected.

What am I missing here?
Is the 2nd weapon having the "light" tag?
No, but neither does a crossbow and I can sneak attack with that just fine.
Sneak Attack
Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an Attack if you have advantage on the Attack roll. The Attack must use a Finesse or a ranged weapon.

You don't need advantage on the Attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't Incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the Attack roll.

The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table.

but only light (finesse) melee weapons.

Light and Finesse are different tags btw.


Finesse
When Making an Attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the Attack and Damage Rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.

Light
A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when Fighting with two Weapons.

There are weapons which are Light and not Finesse, like the sickle. You can dual wield those, but only use them with the strength attribute. Solasta is incredibly inconsistent when it comes to enforcing dual wielding rule restrictions tho.

There are other weapon tags that don't seem to be working correctly. For example, right now the Loading property does nothing and you can shoot two times with a crossbow if you have extra attack.

Man that is really strange, because the game deploys scouts as enemies (https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/scout), but they only have one ranged attack and a heavy crossbow. I thought that was because of this rule.

This would almost make Crossbows worth using on Archer type characters, but I don't think there is a single magical crossbow in the game.

Flying is ILLEGAL in wooded areas. Attempting to hover across a patch of rocky terrain is NOT allowed. Levitating more than 10 centimetres above the ground is STRICTLY prohibited. Thank you for your compliance.

Seems the patches are not coming out for the game pass version. Has the GOG version got the hotfix patch?

It gets more ridiculous than that: there are gaps that you can jump over but not fly over. Hopefully they'll do something about it in a patch.

Just noticed that myself. And moments before I thought "damn, flying spell is the most OP ever", but suddenly it couldn't be used to fly down and grab an item. I had to jump to get over there as it was intended I guess.

There are exactly 0 QoL mods on the workshop. Mods will absolutely NOT fix this game.
The dungeon Tactical Adventures released to showcase the dungeon maker tools has better combat encounters than the entire EA of BG3. There are aspects of this game that needs to be fixed, but it's perfectly playable and enjoyable in its current state.

Manlets are all males.
Dorfs are men. Their build is of a strong man. Now if you look at elves... i mean 100 pounds and 5 feet tall? Seriously? No wonder they are regularly mistaken for wommynz of their species by orkz.

I think the problems is that either fly has a maximum altitude (so it needs a ground to calculate it from) and some pits are marked as bottomless. Or you just can't fly over the ground that's designated impassable. The rationale probably being that if the spell's duration runs out exactly over such a pit or ground or the caster loses concentration, it's immediate game over since the fallen character is dead and unresurrectable. But I don't think the solution is better than the problem in this case. A more elegant one would be to allow jumping while flying and having the fly spell maximize the jump distance.
Oh well. Just remember that in Ultima 7 you could fly over mountains but not over 2-story houses.

This game is starting to annoy me. The elementals not being rezistant to the things they should be. Also not vulnerable to the things they should be. The Fly spell working only "when it's supposed to work", not when it's logical to.

I'm starting to think that even though you have to "be content" with the fact that this is a good game mechanically, it really isn't.

The are also puzzles that seem to require 4 characters. Which means that, mechanically, you're punishing anyone that likes to play with less than 4 characters. Or, even worse, people that like to solo.




The more I play this game, the worse my opinion of it gets. And it's not because of the pronouns.

You can't click on "start game" if you haven't selected at least 4 characters.

What elementals are you referring to? I haven't noticed any missing resistances or vulnerabilities.

how dual wielding works?
If you equip two weapons that have the Light property (like a shortsword or a dagger), you can use your Bonus Action to make an attack with your secondary weapon (the attacks you make with your Action will always be with your primary weapon). However, you won't add your ability modifier to the damage dealt with your secondary weapon. With the "Two Weapon Fighting" Fightning Style (available to Fighters and Rangers), you add your ability modifier to the damage dealt with your secondary weapon, with the Ambidextrous Feat you can use non-Light weapons, and with the Twin Blade feat you can temporarily boost your AC.

I mega critted a fire elemental with a frost cantrip, so they seem to be vulnerable to their opposite element.

Go ahead and cast a Lightning... anything, at that lil fella, and see if you get any extra damage. Unfortunately, I got irritated and closed the game before I could provide a screenshot as proof that you don't.
