Please Get Rid Of The Explosive Barrels

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

They are a detriment to the game.

but no action I take (no matter how careful a player is) can prevent the loss of a character due to an enemy throwing a basically free shove out randomly, especially if that enemy has literally no other use for its bonus action anyway.

That`s great, my characters have been pushed in abyss multiple times, but that`s there fault.

Barelmancy and environmental Hazards and interaktion are a core Aspect of Divintiy so why you expect that this will leave?

Since this is not Divinity?

They will stay, let`s get used to them.

Is jumping still op for positioning still aswell?

Depends of what you mean. It's still over-tuned and comes with a the silly hulk stomp for whatever reason but at least it's not a free Disengage anymore.

Well i honestly dont understand the problem.... why cant larian simply make a choice in the options menue where it will simply flag all Barrels as indestructible..... then those who hate barrelmancy can play without barrels. And those who like donkey Kong RPG can keep em all game long.

However if Larian designed Encounters around Barrelmancy then this wont work..... but it would mean Larians game design is highly incompetent.

because then encounters like the Zhentarim Hideout and trap would be alot different.

They've balanced it substantially around patch 6 or so?

For high-strength characters like Lae'zel, jumping is preferable to moving. For lower strength characters, it is substantially worse and a waste of your movement.

[Phantus]

Agreed. It cheapens the game and is a sore reminder that this D&D game is based on DOS.

[Dis Lexic]

Orrrr, maybe just ignore them if you dont like them? I think I've targeted about three barrels in my entire time playing and not one of them was done in combat. Honsetly, the barrels are nowhere near as omnipresent as the memes suggest and they dont really do that much. Besides, adding a bit of environmental interaction spices up the combat.

Barrel of barrels

[ExcaliburV]

Quite literally the only time I use barrels is when I throw a water barrel on the patch of fire between Waukeen's rest and the Zhent hideout so I can walk through the water mist instead of picking through the fire. Despite this I am able to consistently beat the Gith patrol, the hag, the minotaurs, so on. All of this even without doing the "optimized, only option available because only 4 party size" fighter, thief, cleric, wizard composition.

It's entirely possible. Don't blame the game for making it the only option when you're not even considering other options.

I think this game would be awesome without exploding barrels, hazardous surfaces spammed without concentration, tedious party management (why I can't just click and drag to select few characters at once? Why the hell they are chained puppets?), bonus shove actions, lazy advantage from high, exploits in action economy, exploits in initative line, balance issues caused by higher HP/lesser AC, dangerous critical miss - SERIOUSLY, once a goblin score critical miss with some arrow while still pushed my character from hight.

I remember when game journalist citicized Icewind Dale 2 beta because of exploding barrels and made fun of Kegsplitter axe. Good old times.

I guess I would enjoy this game with gameplay I like - I don't know... maybe BG-like gameplay? Or at least the type of gameplay from Solasta, ToEE or even Gold Box games. I had more fun playing Pool of Radiance from 1988 than BG3 ;<

I always said there were just too many boxes in BG3, no dm would ever put that many in their campaign. Who even made that many of them, eh? It just doesn't feel like dnd and it breaks my immersion. Like which other dnd game had that many boxes?

[dolby]

haha really? lol amazing... They really need to make a fight with a panda that's surrounded with barrels and we can one shot him...

so yeah add more barrels please!
