Game is too hard

[侍Kage]

Playing on balance for some reason it's too hard for me. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

Stuck at level 3 can't seem to hit lvl 4. Trying to kill goblin leaders way too hard like this. Am I skipping easier content? What am I doing wrong?

I'm super new to the genre, more like my first time of this genre, i know for most people this game is easy but i can't seem to be successful for now.

Watch some of fextralife youtube videos for newbies... there's a bunch of stuff but they summed it up pretty well

[Snip3rW0lf^.]

watch the environnment, the game can be easy if you think. It's not diablo4.

Most likely. And hello again.

it is hard to tell what you did and what not already. Maybe sharing the savegame or journal screenshot could help. In general most fail at the beginning at one thing

gamified thinking

while it is not exactly wrong, it is not right either in a role play game. Would you attack the goblins head on in real life without preparation? Or would you look for other approaches?

That in addition to the fact, that there might be of course other stuff you need to do first to level up. But for that a journal screenshot would be helpful.

are you playing on easy? if yes. play bit more smart.

which goblin leader you try to kill?

It's hard to advice anything without knowing your and your companions builds.

The game is 90% luck.
Just reload until you get critical hits and the enemy gets critical misses. The RnG in this game is awful.

not really you have room for mistakes.

[Sel Und Irae]

As we would once say in the early days of Dark Souls . .

GIT GUD SCRUB

All honesty, Baldur gate always had learning curves and rng as part of the game. You have to remember, It's based on DUNGEONS & DRAGONS.

You should level up by doing easier quests/fights first, Goblin camp is quite rough at level 3 if you don't fight dirty.

[Drakken]

It's not that hard, you just need to find the right combo, tempo well training.
At lvl 3 use, Lae'zel, Shadowheart and Gale and you should be good what ever you have an extra warrior would be nice, like the MC.
Use your potions, scrolls, just don't stock them.

And yes, the one above is right, do all the quest, you need to be at least lvl 4 for the goblins camp, i was lvl 5

Thats pretty much the culprit here, i guess.
Never rush headfirst into combat and consider your options and tools at your disposal, also since the game provides so much interactivity with objects and characters outside and during combat keep this always in mind aswell.
Characters with high strengt might simply push an enemy over the ledge behind them, or ignite a puddle of oil with their spells instead of directly attack an enemy with it and so on.

If you fail, do not try to do the same thing better, do something different. Iin this way you will practice different tactics and spells until you find a playstyle that works.

Not really.
Most enemies can almost one shot you if you make a mistake.
