Shorter prologue than EA

[Ragnar]

Anyone else found it strange they cut so much of the prologue? I found it funny how the controlled thralls acted etc. Specially when you healed the one laying injured.

I assume they decided that people wouldn't want to spend too much time in what essentially is a tutorial section and just let people into the main areas of the game sooner. It's probably better for repeated playthroughs.

i was kind of shocked but it was a nice change as the prologue was a bit long TBT i thought i missed part and reloaded save

[Stoibs]

You mean it was longer than this originally?
Honestly... I'm fine with it as is.

I swear there seems to be some unwritten CRPG law somewhere that states every single friggen game of the genre needs to start you in a Jon Irenicus style starter dungeon crawl, and I can't for the life of me understand why we can't just start in a pub or town for once!

So many games have the 'skip the starter X' mod specifically because it gets old after a while

Tho being shorter is nice i def miss the View

YEah but it was a needless bloat.
They cut exactly the worst tutorial bits: That confusing section that served no real purpose and confused all friends I showed the game to (where you have to run up the steps in that convoluted sort of way) and the stupid very first fight with elevation and no real urgency. Now the very first battle is so much better (more epic as well thanks to improved presentation).
Overall I loved the tutorial now twice as much.

Early access version of the starting area definitely wasn't as big as Irenicus dungeon at the beginning of BG2. They might've cut maybe like 1/3 of what's there right now.

It was too much fluff imo, makes restarting a pain in the ass when/if you decide to.

[Ragnar]

True. The prologue was still good. I know some complained about it. But I guess/hope to see some thralls acting funny later in the game instead, so maybe it's not double up

I was confused that i didnt go through the top deck but i actually like how it gets you outta the "tutorial area" faster

Yeah but let's be real: That section served no real purpose and dragged down the entire urgency.

[Flozem]

Yup. Glad to see I won’t be wasting time on an Irenicus starter dungeon in BG3 for my reruns. I could actually beeline to more interesting area’s.

I would have love to have seen a "skip prologue" option when making a new character. Especially now that they made the cambion commander essentially unkillable.

Well it's difficult to kill all 3 on tactician, ok on normal and easy on story mode. Just the way it supposed to be 😊

Protect the mindflayer to let them do the heavy lifting, get in whatever chip damage you can, and it shouldn't be too bad.

The problem is time limit of 15 turns on tactician... The two adds have to much hp to kill in time, one could be killed if i tryed it multiple times i guess.

But the commander goes down with a basic fighter, I would say if you have a extra caster that can cc - buff it's easy.
