I’m having a real hard time finishing Baldur’s Gate 3. I wasn’t a fan of Larian’s other games, but I loved the first Baldur’s Gate games. The constant frustration from having to save scum, buggy gameplay, and endless annoying puzzles just makes it a chore. I’ll finish it, eventually, but I need a week between sessions to forget.

People say that it’s a heavily polished game but 4/5 of my characters I had to throw away because of some bug that made their build useless, or put the story in a state that I wasn’t happy with.

If EA put out the exact same game it would have been blasted.

That’s Xcom, baby.
That’s 5e, actually. Don’t get me wrong you can fail a roll in much better games, but in Pathfinder your character build actually matters. It’s an issue with the bounded accuracy, a fundamentally terrible idea for a game (tabletop or otherwise).
