Baldur's Gate 3

Finally Started playing with the GF on tactician (first play) on coop split screen with controllers. It's the first new game I've played in about 5 years.

I found it frustrating that it isn't identical to D&D. We are both very familiar with D&D. For me I don't like that some spells are different. It means I have to check every spell.
I also wish it was first person.

But everything else is great. I get why they change some things. It's just frustrating!

Controller is a bit difficult to use. Some things take a lot of button pushes. And split screen is definitely tricky too with such a small FOV.

I think some things are broken. Wet condition is too powerful. And the minor illusion is also too effective.

We are running a party with
Me: Storm Sorcerer (shame sorcerer class is limited)
GF: moon druid
NPC1: shadowheart
NPC2: astarion

There's quite a lot of changes from 5e as things that work around a table don't work as well in a video game.

Wow. There are some big ones.

The game does not stop a character from casting a levelled spell with both an action and a bonus action in the same turn.

Initiative is a d4?

Thanks for this list. Very useful

I think that was @Noxia that started that trend about me only buying games at a fiver. Though I did go along with it for fun to be fair :p

If you look back, for new games i have always said £35 was my sweetspot. I just got Crimson Desert sub £35 for example.

Fiver is more for games I kind of fancy, but in no rush.

I am willing to go beyond £35 if I class a game as must play. But these are quite rare :D

You paid £35 for Crimson Slop lmao. Thank you for assisting the beta testers.

I’ve got back into this after a few months of not feeling it.

I still really struggle in combat though, last night a stumbled upon two Minotaurs who continued to wipe my squad out until I eventually beat them but had three dead teammates!

They seemed to do 20 plus damage whilst my lot are lucky to get more than 5 per hit.
