it feels like this is getting worse as time goes on - programming.dev

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.

I like the game, its plain to see Larian is a skilled developer, but fucking hell the dnd influence is just poison. The setting? Mid outside of the Larian specific writing, wizards have always had uninteresting world building. The underlying the system? Fucking awful, 5e is easily the worst ttrpg i have ever played (out of 8 i think, including a completely homemade game and condensing very similar games).
