It says turn based in the store tags. You knew what you were buying. Also if you actually read any of the threads about the game on here you would have been able to tell if it’s a game for you or not. You are probably just an indian trying to start a discourse tho

What i hate the most about BG3 is that retcons the originals while not even allowing you to import save games from them.

RTWP was a buggy mess that was too easy to exploit. Tabletop RPGs are meant to be a test of one's knowledge, skill, and luck, not dexterity except Dread

If you spend enough years around them, you will find that the average "hardcore" RPG player is: 1. A pseudo-intellectual who wants appear erudite but couldn't stomach actually reading something like Plato. 2. Wants to feel like they enjoy something deep, but would get flustered and irritated if they had to face an actual profound idea. The tell: they'll spend hours on video essays or forums, but think actually reading literature or philosophy is a waste of time. 3. Wants to feel superior to a casual audience, but is very easily influenced by astroturfed marketing and bandwagons. Hence, their "critically received" games and their "punching bags" will often have identical features, problems, and quality of writing. 4. Thinks the measure of quality is market success, sales, and positive review scores, despite feeling like an elitist. It's no wonder that they'll just arbitrarily hype up some mediocre slog merely because it's not a linear action game.

You know, i´m going to just hijack your thread for a second since i just happen to be starting a second run now that they are done with patches and updates and whatnot.Lets talk builds. Is giant or berserker best for a throwing barbarian? Also, is 6 barbarian, 3 thief and 2 fighter a good build for it? or would 6 barbarian, 2 fighter, 2 cleric be better? I´m under the impression that i can get the bonuses from both if i´m willing to have shadowheart in the party as a war cleric sharing that passive +10 to attack rolls.As for my main, i´m thinking of 3 assassins, 5 warlock (old one), 1 wizard dip for spells and either 3 fighter to lessen crit requirements by one or paladin to make full use of the CHA with auras. Haven´t decided yet... may even mix some storm sorcerer just for the flight after attack action. That seems to really fit the crit + mobility build.Final party member will be either Lae Zel or Minthara. Maybe Jaheira if i manage to stay good enough (playing dark urge and aiming for slight indulgences on those to deserve it kind of thing. Like i don´t want to kill animals or kids but any NPC that´s not polite should be fair game. I don´t rightly know what constitutes crossing the line with her and don´t intend to compromise my roleplaying just to keep her around no matter how OP she is)

Feels more of a successor to Dragon Age than anything. I like the combat and exploration, but the quests and characters are less memorable to me for some reason. The best way I can describe it is that I can sense that it doesn't take itself really seriously, which is a turn off. I guess because it's less dramatic? idk

Anon12/25/25, 00:54No.3897146

Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire is what you're looking for They should have done BG3 with that engine instead of giving it to larianfags to butcher. That's what happens when you have DEI hires in charge

rtwp plays so poorly.. Nobody will explain it to me. They just say its faster. But if the encounter is difficult at all it falls apart. Rtwp was only tolerable in kotor because it was easyBut fuck man, its like herding cats. Bad pathfinding and horrible AI. One of your units decides to reposition and gets attack of opportunitied back stabbed. Its just a nightmare every time. RTWP was never made with game considerstion in mind. Its purely marketing because rts was big. Table top games don't play like this. Itd be ridiculous

RTWP is ass. Why do you think both PoE and PF got turn-based modes? Exactly. Because RTWP sucks. BG1, 2, IWD 1, 2 and PS:T all play like complete dogshit. PS:T aside, the strategy is the same in every battle in those games. RTWP is inherently designed for the player to think less.

Has this game become easier? I haven´t played it since launch so this would be my second run on normal. It somehow feels easier. It´s not a complain though, i´m just asking if it´s been re balanced at some point.

RTwP is skill issue the system. Fags are too dumb to play it, see the comments here "Hur dur you can pre-buff and auto-attack" yeah, but if you can do that in a game that has RTwP in turns it just means you could just as much pre-buff and only auto-attack on the turn-based mode.I never had a discussion with a turn-baby where he didn't use retarded arguments like this, they don't understand what RTwP is, it's pure skill issue down to no even understanding what RTwP really is.

Anon01/07/26, 01:36No.3905082

As someone who's just finished replaying BG1 BG3 shits all over it in literally every regard.Even the characters, most of which are ass and gay, are better because characters in BG1 and 2 have basically no real interactions or personalities. And gameplay wise, the original are fucking terrible. Literal hitroll simulators.

RTwP is garbage and any RPG that relies on it is admitting they don't understand how to make interesting, dynamic battles requiring complex thought and understanding and instead wants every battle to be you watching your characters spam their default attack animationYou idiots would probably think chess would be more exciting if every piece moved at the same time.

I really prefer the original series over BG3. I ditched it in the first act and dont know why. I guess I find most companions to be absolutely insufferable to be around. It's not a good sign they shoehorned Minsc and Jaheira into it either.

Anon01/09/26, 15:19No.3906364

This game was so incredibly forgettable. I played through Act 1 and there was nothing memorable that happened, interesting characters or dialogue. If it wasn't for Dark Urge the protag would have absolutely nothing going on. Like I played through Act 1 half a year ago and I can't remember a single character name or moment that stood out.

Why not do turn based with real time elements? I was playing this game st the arcade. Final fantasy 7. Never played it before but I thought it was cool. I felt pressured to do stuff fast.

But what REALLY fucking ruins this game, and it's oddly something NO ONE ever points out, is Larian's OBNOXIOUSLY RETARDED chaining system. It is the worst possible compromise I have ever seen to make a UI/mechanic that works for both mouse/keyboard and controller. Most of this shit-tier game you spend playing against the chaining system. It has been the one thing that ruins all Larian games from and after the first Original Sin.

Anon01/16/26, 20:34No.3910798

Turnfaggots tend to express their arguments in terms of personal preference (“I like it more” or “I think it’s more fun”), or in terms of the historical context of the RPG genre (“most RTWP games were just a product of publishers and studios chasing after the popularity of the RTS genre during the mid to late 90s”) RTWPfaggots tend to express their arguments in terms of attacking their perceived enemy (“Turnfaggots only dislike RTWP because they can’t handle the pace of real time combat”) It’s obvious why this is, and where it comes from

Anon01/17/26, 13:27No.3911142

Whats wrong with "trash fights"? They are about resource control and opportunity costs. With every fight you lose something, either health or resources. So you have to weigh in if you accept your front liners taking damage now or if you would rather use your fireball on this mob and rely on your more rested fighters for the later encounters. You're not just fighting this one mob, you are fighting an entire map or even multiple ones. Exploration is part of the game and part of exploration is fighting enemies who stand in your way. IWD did this perfectly. Every dungeon/level is a long winded, grueling grind. Deciding on what resources to use at which time, searching the map for choke points, finding a "cheesy" approach to kill as many enemies with as little effort as possible, figuring you cant explore an optional area because your group sucks (and learning from this to assemble a better team next time) and even "save scumming" if you figure you underperformed and need to do this particular fight again so it doesnt bite you in the ass later is all part of the game. This is all far more fun and challenging than some gimmicky TB boss fight like larian does. And thats not to mention the infinitely more freedom in designing the game and writing the story rtwp gives you.

The "argumentative" heat in question: >No, I can't handle fully real-time combat, and that's why I need the ability to pause infinitely at will as a crutch, but at least I don't like fully turn-based combat! That's for people who can't handle fully real-time combat

The only serious problem with BG3 is that it's based on D&D mechanics, which are fundamentally broken and terrible, but everyone has somehow convinced themselves it's perfectly fine.

Anon01/18/26, 04:03No.3911540

Started playing bg3 last week, why is the combat so fucking slow? In act 2 every encounter has a minimum of 20+ niggas taking their turns, by the time a bg3 combat sequence finishes i could have cleared out a dungeon in bg2. Adding a fast forward toggle can't be this hard.

Anon01/18/26, 06:49No.3911626

It’s on the same level as Terminator Genisys. It’s a retcon, of the bargain-bin smut variety, slapping the Baldur's Gate name on Larian's goblin toe-licking, bear-rutting Jackass fanfic while gutting the grim heroism of the bhaalspawn epic. "Porn porn porn... best game ever" – average redditor. The 23% completion rate exposed the hype, even gooners got tired of DOS3 and went to get their fix elsewhere. Nobody with a brain still calls Bear Sex 3 a proper sequel in 2026. It's got nothing to do with the series; it's a fringe cope from diehard Larian stans. It's for noobs who hold Sarah J. Maas up as the pinnacle of fantasy fiction.
