Every battle is one big tedious trial

[Anomalous Alien]

I did enjoy this initially but now during act 2 it's getting boring

[ZombieKidzRule!]

Uh, turn-based. That's what I LOVE about it!

I disliked the game at first, even quit several times. But once you get a couple level ups in you the combat smooths out. After a couple more levels it gets too easy even.

It is a problem. Instead of throwing multiple little battles at a player over the course of a dungeon to tax a parties resources and decision making -- The game just throws big encounters at you after wandering around doing nothing for a while. Then you take a short rest, or a long rest, and wandering around until the next big encounter.

The developers clearly don't know how to design combat encounters in the game or make the world feel dangerous to the party. RESTING should be very limited if you enter dangerous spaces. The party should be under threat of being ambushed if they're making camp in middle of a dungeon or even the wilderness.

The game needs serious work when it comes to how encounters are handled in the game alongside the rest/resource economy.

Nope it gets harder and more boring as I go. At this point I'm more (but now only just barely in contrast to very) bothered about getting past the unanswered, nonsensical direction of the plot that I don't want a huge ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ battle every single time I move every inch in this tiny world.

These long grinding battles are just padding to makeup for the lack of locations you travel to in contrast to other Baldurs Gate games.

Tell me your builds suck without telling me your builds suck.

Have you tried a high CHA character. They can pretty much skip half+ of the fights

I wish battles were longer, most enemies just kinda crumble in two rounds once you get into the game.

Exactly this.

Maybe the op is used to being part of a community that's been getting a free ride.

Agreed. The longest battle I had was on the base of Moonrise Tower, cause my party was getting blocked by a million Harpers and hit with consecutive pulls + slow.

I just killed every single cultist in moonrise before freeing aylin.

I was the gal who walked wherever she wished like she belonged there, until the locals had enough of me. I scarcely shoot first.

Wow, you're all very talented and deserve a biscuit.
