mods that make the game easier

[superbit]

Hello,

I'm playing on the easiest settings and I'm struggling, A LOT, each fight makes me want to give up, I feel like everyone in my party is useless.
Are there mod that just gives the player an edge ?

I played Divinity OS 1 and 2 and it was way less frustrating (it still were).
Like right now I'm underground fighting a level 7 even though I'm 4, I just don't understand how the game is balanced, since the main quest asks me to be there.

I'm looking for a mod that gives better chance to hit the ennemy (I'm always at like 45% chance), gives the player more HP, makes levelling faster, stuff like that ?

If you don't have a mod to share I welcome your experience and wisdom :p
thanks!

I have friends who played through who are not great at games but loved it and played on the easiest level. I would suggest doing any side quest you can find to level up. Also a balanced party. I always play with a tank, Astarion, a magic user, and healer or paladin.

It depends really on what your PC is balanced on who is best to take with you.

Thanks for the answer !

To be honest, I'm kinda lost, I've played when the game came out and gave up because of the difficulty, my brother playes at a harder difficulty and enjoyed it so I guess the issue is with me :/.
I remember going to the swamp and failing, I should now have the right level. I'm still quite far from leveling up.
I have Astarion, Shadowheart, and Wyll in my party. And I'm a sorcerer

If You are a Sorc, I'd suggest switching out Wyll for Lae'zel or Karlach or Minthara depending on where you are and such. I don't want to spoil.

Check Cheats section at Nexus. Everything you want is there. May require Script Extender. There is no need to use WEMOD or any external program/trainer or things like Cheat Engine; there are mods for everything you've mentioned.

Alternatively, just keep asking for advice and help, there's plenty of people here willing to help you. I make no judgement over what people do. There's stuff that essentially implements god mode or story mode; not to my taste; but it's there.

It takes practice, OP. That's all. You will figure out what works, I promise. I went from n00b to slightly less n00b after a few sessions.

Don't count on Shart to hit ANYTHING for the first few levels if you're leaving her stats as they've been set up as default. When she does manage to hit anything it usually pays off but I spent most of my time swearing at her in between those moments. I have friends who have redone her roles and made her into a healing cleric and she's great.

Astarion is fantastic for the sneak attacks when one of your party is right beside a mob, automatic advantage right there. Hiding is great for him. That's where his strengths are early on and later on the hits you can get with a rogue are awesome.

If you're consistently getting low percentages on your ranged shots, try backing up to put a little more space between you and the target, try to get to higher ground or or move so that the space between you both is clearer. You can also use the portable high-ground trick. Have your bow person carry four or five empty crates, you can drop them and stack them without wasting a turn and then climb up as your movement. Then you can shoot from up high - the stats improve immensely.

I would also suggest swapping Wyll out for one of the heavies, either Lae'zel or Karlach so that they can tank for you.

There is a custom difficulty for your “problem”, if you find yourself quite far (more then 1-2 levels) in exp comparing your enemies - you should think why do you enter that area.

If you are a level 4 party (somehow) and you just skipped every single exp mission and etc and rushed to the UnderDark - yes, I guess you have a problem, once again, you should think harder.


Comparing to DOS2 same topics - if the player in ACT 2 rushed Demon Island or Pit - it’s a player fault, you are not supposed to be here if you haven’t done everything in the town.

You can ask your brother how to play this game, you can also just set level 12 via Nexus modes right from the start, if you still having a hard fight after that, well, godemode only seems to be the only solution.

There is a mod that lets you have a larger party size. This make the game funner, in my opinion, while it also makes even the hardest difficulties much easier because you bring so many more actions (an therefore firepower) to every fight.

Post your character sheets, I'm sure we can fix your problems in like 5 seconds flat.

If you type "bg3 tips & tricks" on youtube... you will learn a _massive_ amount of useful info about how to cope with combat. Take notes if you can't remember everything you've learned there! But whatever you do, don't fall into the trap of trying to create an "optimal" party -make your party in your own style.

Some more info on how you have built your characters, wht gear you use, what spells you have, would help a lot in getting to fix the difficulty issue. I'm sure the hive mind can get you over the first few levels and the does get easier after leveling up.

Also don't forget, when comparing yourself to other players, a lot of us are coming at this from a vast amount of DnD experience, which makes a huge difference. I hope you don't give up! I agree with others, it sounds like you're pursuing the main quests too quickly. Slow down and explore, and if a fight is super outmatched (like lvl 4 to 7), then run away and come back to it later. You get all kinds of experience points just for exploring! Open boxes, talk to NPCs, read books, etc. Curiosity will get you far in this game (though also leads to accidentally stumbling into mis-matched options). And don't forget to just spam save always - in my first run, I saved SO often and it helped a lot because I wasn't having to go back far, I could just run away from something that wasn't working. Remember that this is an entirely open world map, so it may not be totally clear which order you should do things in, because there are endless ways to do things!

Also, personal opinion maybe, but sorcerer is a pretty complicated class, especially for a beginner. The mechanics of managing sorcery points are a lot to take in. (Really is personal opinion, everyone has their thing. Druids are famously complicated but have always been my personal favorite in BG3 and in DnD real play, so everyone has their preferences.)

If you're struggling, I highly recommend going either barbarian or rogue to start out, they are powerful but fairly simple. I recommend this for new DnD players too, and it usually helps a lot. Use the scrolls and your companions to practice magic. Make your primary Tav a beefy strong rock with a ton of HP to lean on. I hope this helps!

(Pro tip: When you ask Withers to change your class, you can pickpocket the gold you've paid him afterwards, and there's no penalty for failing. So I just sit and pickpocket him endlessly until I get my money back hahaha)

Lucky for you, someone literally posted a mod like yesterday!

This is an unfair assessment, in my opinion. I absolutely know what OP means - if they aren't used to the "sense" of playing DnD, its not obvious. DOS is sooooo different in the overall mechanics and strategies. Also, for the record, in BG3 you get a warning message for venturing into the Underdark if you're level 3 or below, so technically the game IS designed for level 4 to be an acceptable entry point to the Underdark. Hilariously, I know this very specific fight well because I'm playing with a buddy who is doing his first run ever on tactician, and he literally came into this EXACT fight a few nights ago, level 4 party against level 7 duergar...and won. Because he made the monsters fight each other leading up to the fight, then made the spore dude we recruited resurrect the f-ing BULETTE for funsies. Turns out, Zombie Bulette stuck around and absolutely destroyed everyone we fought. So it can be done. But while my buddy is new to BG3, he isn't at all new to DnD, so I really think DnD experience matters a lot here.

There are SEVERAL entry points into the Underdark, and several references to the Underdark, so I can absolutely follow the logic in pursuing the first path you find to the Underdark. Don't underestimate "gamer instinct" most of us have - if you're new, you don't have that. I guess I'm just trying to say, OP's moves make total sense to me, and there's no reason to say mean things like "you should think harder". That's not helpful. Be nice. It's a game. We love the game. We want other people to love the game. Saying rude things doesn't help other people love the game.

I forgot what it's called, but there's a mod that gives you a potion that when you drink it, you get a bunch of actions that let you raise/lower any abilty score (a workaround for not having the option to roll), add or remove nearly any base class feature (like Sneak Attack, spell slots, Channel Divinity, Lay on Hands, Metamagic, Invocations, etc.)

It essentially lets you make your own custom class, and a bunch of other stuff too.
