WE NEED A HARDER DIFFICULTY AND HIGHER LEVEL CAP

[Fast]

Im playing tactician, and blind running everything and its just far too easy, there is no risk to any encounters, the scummy encounters are still winnable even if you are brainded.

Also, Ive just finished moonrise im already level 10... not even at baldurs gate yet...

Who thought it was a good idea to level cap at 12, my power will growing in 2 levels and im basically on the train to the end with no real care for progress....

FIx plz

in all fairness though, OPs complaint can really be a flaw in 5e and not in BG3.
combat encounters are notoriously difficult to balance. CR is a really poor indicator of threat. Action economy is a really big deal.
a single high CR enemy can be trivial, while many low CR enemies can be deadly.

especially if all the party members are minmaxed, of which 5e is NOT balanced with minmaxers in mind

compare to owlcat games, where they absolutely do expect you to minmax. . and they inflated all the numbers with that expectation

and that's normally an indicator of a bad game design normally oh we cant make it harder i know give it more stats its what online games have done for years and its never been received well

Owlcat got away with it in WotR due to mythic classes haveing huge numbers or op ablitys the first game was very meh in the you spend more time buffing for fights than some of them would take lol

yeah it s too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ easy. that said-

don t reroll companions. don t use barbarian. those help a tad, even if it s still too easy.

barb is just too tanky for the amount of dmg he does, i stopped playing mid act 2 as a barb and rerolled as monk to see if the game gets better

as it is BG 3 tactician is not even equal to pathfinder core/challenging and a farcry from that game last two difficulties

even DOS 2 tactician was much harder

kingmaker did not have mythic abilities and difficulty wise it s one thousand times more enjoyable than facerolling in BG 3. which is a pity because the game is a AMAZING otherwise, i just hope a mod fix it, IMO martials are just way too strong

OP, I think you're utterly full of crap.

Explain to me how to win the fight against the Goblins and Wargs torturing the gnome in Act 1 on Tactician??? PLEASE, upload a vid of you "owning" this fight, or doing anything but scraping by with a bloody win. (I'm just going to preemptively LOL you though, anyway.)

how are you struggling. thats the question. There is not a single fight in act 1 that should give you difficulty.
Im struggling how you even had a hard time with goblins and wargs tbh, i dont even remember the fight thats how trivial it was. I just proessed buttons and everything ded.

Im in act 3 btw my achievements show it. Also i stream the game on steam earlier u can watch me play . ez pz.

[FakeyNamey]

Mmk. Like someone else said, you played the entire time on the wrong difficulty, thinking you were on tactician. Or maybe your game is just broken. I'm pressing the same buttons you are, and it says MISS, and then the enemy doesn't miss. That's tactician, and you're full of crap.

Literally started on tactician, it says it in the menu...wtf are u on about.
You need to buff your martials up, they should always try to have advantage, and always haste in the more difficult fights.
Its also helpful to give them elixirs as well.
I usually go for stuff that gives an extra spell slot for my pally for more smites, and my barb i just give whatever it feels like the fight needs, usually try and go for spell save stuff. or pure damage stuff like bonus to attack rolls or some such.
Hold person, hold monster, always good spells if u have cleric/bard/sorc etc...
oh and if they are using two handers get great weapon master, but make sure always advantage.

Also, on tactician just examine the enemies and be clear of your needed rolls....ez pz.

there's room for one more difficulty. honor mode w/ only 1 save and it gets overwritten automatically at every roll. death=delete save.

i want it. i still cope that maybe it'll unlock once i finish a tactician playthrough lol

i savescum too much for my own good as it is, if someone had the list of my checks they would see i passed every single one of them, with 8-8-8 int/wis/cha. sus ;)

I actually think it goes :
Story
Very Easy
Easy

we are missing, Medium , hard, very hard and unfair modes.

Also there ought to be some more options,added to those harder modes, like limited to supply packs for long rests, and 1 save per long rest, or in unfair maybe only save on quit.

Stop playing Meta.

If you’re lugging around boxes to stack them up and get advantage on attack rolls, sorry, you’re cheering the game. I’m not doing that crap.

Frankly, I see people here who played the snot out of early access, know the rules like the back of their hand, only choose the most number-crunchedly optimal builds, and explore *everything* so that they’re a level or two above average. Obviously you’re going to have an easier time of it than the bulk of people. If Larian balanced the game around *your* skill level the game wouldn’t have 800k concurrent players.

I’m not saying that the game shouldn’t have a harder difficulty to accommodate people like that, but the game is just obviously not *too “ez”* in some objective sense.

[krunjar]

If you just want higher level cap there IS a mod out there that allows it. As long as you don't take any one class over 12. SO you can say do a Sorc12/Warlock 8 and have 20 effective character levels XD
