    I play a weekly dnd session. I’ve been playing for almost 7 years. I thought I’d check out baldurs gate. I got absolutely bodied in the first encounter.

    I learned 2 things; my DM is very kind and wants us all to have fun, baldurs gate is not kind and is coldly indifferent to my concept of fun.

    I’m exaggerating a bit, but it was tougher than I thought. Saving helps a lot. I’m sure I wouldn’t have gotten wrecked right away if I planned better.

      Yea some of the encounters are quite difficult in the early stages. Once you get a full party and some levels/items it gets smoother

        I’m sure it’s the upcoming, it’s been in EA for almost a year so plenty of people like myself have been playing it for some time

          Couldn’t be too sure, older games tend to be a bit more brutal and I think the original uses a bit of less forgiving ruleset.

          And I’ve played the Early Access as well, just last week. The combat didn’t seem to hard, though I may have just been better planned and more aware of how much more combat-focused CRPGs tend to be over TTRPG.
