why the hate on BG3

[rusty_shackleford]

Yeah, I did. And?

what is (3+5)/2?

 

[perfectslumbers]

One of the biggest flaws with many modern RPGS like The Witcher 3 is the small party size of 1, so I'm happy with a party of 4

I think 4 is fine in modern games where companions are more detailed but less numerous, it increases replayability but decreases the possible variety in a party.

[perfectslumbers]

Sorry, you caught me. Asscreeds-likes such as The Witcher 3*

what is (3+5)/2?

DM's Guide states that 3,4,5 players. Did they teach you at school what "interval" means?

 

[Joyvankek]

2 years later level cap is still 4....

Wait, the level cap is still 4?
Holy fuck, and they were claiming to have it out of ea in 2022... It seems I was too generous when giving them the benefit of a doubt.

and the average is 4, the size of a BG3 party.

can you tell me what happens in 2022 since you're already in october?

and the average is 4, the size of a BG3 party.

And at no point that says "recommended party size is 4".

Because of my big compassionate heart I agreed with Wotc to finally make the first good game in the Baldur's Gate franchise.

Imagine hating a beloved game series simply because it has party-based RTwP combat, which you are too autistic to master.

Thread is updated. Several new pages of content I'm not going to read because it's all going to be basically this over and over.

The recommended party size for Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat is both 4. I'm not going to bother looking through every 5E book, but I'm going to assume that 4 is pretty standard.

who gives a fuck about the default party size of 5e

4 man party in a crpg is on the small side and unfortunate

[Sunri]

I didn't do any of the evil stuff.

What is the incentive to be evil in BG3?

Sex with drow lady.

I don't understand how one roleplays as a party.

have you considered playing tactical games instead?

 

[Grunker]

rpgs are often tactical

when they're not, they usually suck

only 2/10 of the top 10 games on rpgcodex's top 101 RPGs has full party control fyi

 

[Grunker]

true, maybe i'm wrong, maybe fallout wouldn't be better with tactical party-based combat

as is proven by the overwhelming praise of fallout's non-controllable companions

fallout would have been a worse game if it was designed with the player having full control over the entire party
contrast to how easy it is to cover every weakness in the modern wasteland games
