Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Roll for stats

This was verbally verified, back when Methuselah was contemplating his life choices, but they did come through on multi-classing.

I really don't want use a stat cheat mod, neither do i want to be the village idiot just so I can multi-class.

So will they come through?

The only thing we know, is that Larian stated that they know that some people like to roll their stats.
Anything beyond that is just speculation.

Maybe you simply cannot have everything?

Now i wonder since when asking if default 5e, and both previous BG games feature will be present counts as "want everything".

I'm pretty sure I saw a quote in an earlier FAQ or perhaps it was that early AMA that said that other ways of setting stats were planned, though I don't think it said which specific ways those were, and even if so that could have changed. This might be something we can hope to get a glimpse of on Friday if we're shown any updated character creation screens.

Why not? What's the difference if it's build in or not?

Game stability?
Requirement of additional download?
Unmatching versions after patch?
Risk of accidentally alterning things you didnt wamt?

i like the roll stats as in solasta. but seeing larian style i can foresee they want to purposely gimped the stats to have better control on the game difficulty and according to their design. their design has always make the impossible and gamers resort into cheesing...

In the Playstation bg3 article, if you look at the zariel tiefling, he has a 17 in Dexterity and an 8 in strength, both of which are impossible with point buy since zariel gives a +1 to strength, and no bonus to Dexterity.

Assuming no funny business for the presentation, felt like a soft confirmation that dice rolling will be in the game to me.

Game instability is a possibility but not necessarily a probability. It depends on the game and on the mod. I had an extremely stable Skyrim LE with over 200 mods installed and there are people who have even more.

An additional download and install that takes 5 minutes for hours of game play?

Not all games screw mods with patch updates. It depends on the game and the type of mod and also what exactly is getting patched (if it gets patched).

Accidentally changing something in a video game is unlikely to be life threatening. Worst-case scenario is you have start the game again and given that you would only be in CC if you are messing with stats, does it matter?

Question was whats the difference ...
Those are differences.

If you dont find them valid, thats your business.

Any update on this? I am really hoping they are going to have rolling for stats built into the game; sure there will likely be mods but it would be nice to know for sure what to expect for 1.0 and not have to wait to find out. Thanks!

Doesn't look like it but yevery race can do a +2 asi. So any race can be viable as any class
