Can't multiclass in Explorer difficulty?

[Martin]

So you change it to balanced, multiclass then change it to explorer? Really? Well Duh. Awesome game design.

[Pinhead Larry]

Yeah as good as a lot of parts of this game are, theirs other parts that... aren't as well designed or well thought out.

"If you cant handle BG3 on normal difficulty... multiclassing might be a bad idea" is an entirely fair assessment.

true. multi classing will just screw your character if you just pick random classes and don't know what you are doing.

If you do know what you are doing then why the ♥♥♥♥ are you playing on easy mode?

Unironically this.
The games far far FAR too easy on tactician already.

Some people just wanna relax and just mess around/have fun no need to make fun of someone playing on a lower difficulty

I don't know man, this D&D version is pretty anti stupidity, you sort of have to KNOW how to make a bad character.

Not making fun. If you want to multiclass on easy. Up difficulty when leveling and lower it when playing.

But it not being a default option for easy mode is entirely reasonable. Any DM worth their salt would strongly advise against it for a inexperienced player at their table (particularly when that player is running 4+ chars at once) and BG3 does the same thing.

Video of what?

just switch the Difficulty up bevor you level up, select the Class you like to MC, and then Lower the Difficulty again.

Has anyone done this before, switched from "explorer" to "normal", then applied the multiclass option, and then switched back to "explorer" mode? I have read several times that all stages are still assigned to the starting class, i.e. the multiclass is "dissolved"?

I'm totally new to the game and have no experience in D&D. I usually only play simulation games like Cities Skylines, Sims 3 or Prison Architect XD

So I don't want to fail immediately in the fights. I'd rather experience the story. So my preferred difficulty would actually be "Explorer" to explore the world and experience the story at leisure.

But now that I've read a lot on the Internet about multiclass options and the "best variants", I would still be interested in the possibilities without dying at the first opportunity.

I find the exclusion of multiclass in the easiest difficulty level really annoying, mainly because Larian actually wanted to give the players maximum freedom and possibilities in the game under the motto: "everything is possible".

You could have simply pointed out in the description for "explorer" that multiclass is more for experienced players and you can "scrap" the character if in doubt, but that shouldn't be a drama because of the easy difficulty. So it would also be possible to experience at least the options and possibilities of a multiclass without dying all the time. As a kind of "experimental mode".

So I'm looking for a mod, but I can't quite understand this decision or this "ban" on multiclass in easy difficulty, even if multiclass is aimed more at experienced players. For me, a story mode doesn't necessarily contradict trying out multiclassing.

Sorry about my bad English, it's not my mother tongue.

How do you even multiclass? It's never given me the choice.

When you level up there is a small button in the top right of the level up menu that allows you to pick a different class for that level up (i.e. multiclass).

[Janthis]

That does seem silly, why not just add a warning like other games (I think it was Pillars 2) that tells you multiclassing is not a good idea if you aren't familiar with game rules and mechanics?
