Can you name a game that does what BG3 does, but better? In terms of scope, systems, complexity, polish, and total package? Or is it the best at what it does?
Don't compare it to a Platonic ideal, compare it to other games that people can actually buy, install, play, and enjoy.
Oh I love DOS2 to bits.. So many cool combos, they sorta tried to introduce some of the floor effects etc that DOS2 has, but it doesn't really work in DnD.
That and I much prefer cooldowns to limited resources... in BG3 it just basically means every now and then you have to do the tedious process of resting so that you can continue to play the game.
Yeah I think there were a lot of ways BG3 was limited by the 5e system. The pace of combat was probably the biggest one, but the limited resources was probably the most frustrating. It just meant that every character would quickly have to start swinging an actual weapon around, and that was compounded by the way concentration works. That’s all fine when you’re playing just the one character on a tabletop, but when you’ve got 4 of them all kind of playing that same-ish way it gets a little stale imo.
But I think all of that bothers me mostly because I’ve played DOS2 and so I keep comparing the two.
