Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Superman jumps and CC spells

Every enemy just superman jumps over CC spells and terrains (or some cantrip just burns down the CC spells, like plant growth, entangle, spike growth, grease or whatever... )
CC spells are easily destroyed and even nerfed to begin with. Many enemies just superman jumps over it all. Why make JUMPING such a huge part of combat? It's a kind of ridiculous thing to over-emphasize to begin with, isn't it?

A similar subject was discussed just over a week ago in https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=846201. It’s actually in the same thread I linked to in response to your other recent post about sleet storm and other control spells.

I must say, I returned to Solasta’s DLC and had some great fun with spike growth. While I do sometime feel the lack of manual jump button, so I can better control where I want my units to jump down from, having a set paths up open some actual tactics.

BG3 is so open that the battlefield get extremely chaotic and one can’t really make a plan beyond their current move.

For a lot of these spells, some lack of utility comes from their lack of implementation in 3-D space. They're simply surfaces in BG3. Meaning, if units wanted to bunny-hop out of them, they'd need to bunny-hop through difficult terrain. Not that fixing this would fix these spells, as Larian's fundamental design seeks to make them less useful at every turn. They all seem a casualty of making the Strength attribute 'more useful' and Larian's love of fire and explosions.

Exactly. Even the jumps "over" difficult terrain should be impaired with half movement. Also... I mean... you can bonus action jump and run and actually get further in combat. Kinda silly. How often to people jump around in actual combats?

Mario Gate

Actually, it's Bowser's Gate.

Unironically want this as a Super Mario RPG sequel now.

Alex I will take Bowser’s Gate for $200!

What is better than Mario Gate?

Correct! Now for the daily double!
