Are you going to cheese the game?

[Fast]

So many mechanics allow you to cheese, break or undermine encounters entirely.

Are you going to do this or play like a normie?

100%. Cheesing all the way to get the best results. That's half the fun with games like these.

You're missing to see what can be a whole spirit of fun with a dice based rpg. I understand where you're coming from though.

Gonna use cool synergies and stuff, but not the exploit/cheese that Larian should have removed a long time ago.

]since they didnt remove it, and its part of the game is it an exploit?
Exploits by definition are unintended.
But they kept much of the stuff in.

What exploit is that?

i liked stealthing around making artificial walls and blockades out of crates and barrels in DOS2 b4 a fight started lol

ill probably do the same in this :)

[Maitrepof]

Gonna play normal, and only cheese encounter if it's too hard or too fun to pass.

[Toodeloot]

these games are made for cheese in bg1 and 2 you coulden't make it thru without it at core difficulty, i gassed the entire room with gass cloud and killed everyone , also finger of death just point at someone and they would die instantly

A throw away joke... is cheesing a romance considered r*pe? Lol... (obviously not in a sane world). Let it go into the ether before someone get offended over the concept.

What a question... cheese is part of D&D for me :D if you find a way to exploit and the DM allows it... do it!

back in the day the hag was super bugged and i just killed her with AOE after i figured out where her invisible self hang out , if something like that happens again i would glady destroy the bugged npc

For example, the Height cheese.
Stacking boxing to use thrown tagged weapons or improved weapons and throw them, they gain damage per 1.5ft of height you go up.

Meaning 20-40 boxs can allow you to drop nukes on enemies. This worked great on the bullette and spectator , or for the matriarch, you can build a box cage, and have her teleport inside and she cant get out and you can stack barrels and blow her up in one hit, or ofc we can just shove, thunderwave everything off a cliff, of run around with guardians on a cleric with invis and everything dies whilst standing still.

Or you can sit out of combat and spawn summon over and over again into combat and burn encounters whilst hiding.

Or you can hide, sneak attack, disengage, hide sneak attack disengage, etc.

Mobs skipping turns (stealth/invis/sanctuary), barrelmancy, high/heavy throw

At the end of the day it's about the person enjoying the game. Don't let people tell you what you're doing is not fun if you payed for it and you're enjoying it!

Again, I do recommend people explore the idea of letting the dice decide their fates more than their save states. Consequence, as Larian has so often explained, is a major part of the game. Letting fate decide takes a surprising amount of willpower. It's a fun test for oneself.

I might push and throw certain encounters to their deaths, not sure if that counts as cheese? I'll throw potions on allies that are downed and swap items in my inventory when needed? Is this cheese?

I'll be pickpocketing everything I can like in DOS2, especially the undead guy in camp because you will get Resurrection scrolls from him (at least in ea)
