Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Broken flight mechanic still = Lazy

Cast Mage hand to hit a lever over sewer water. Find out that the flight mechanic can't fly over water due to no path. Last time I checked flight has nothing to do with ground movement yet for some reason Larian decided not to rise to the challenge of making flight work the way that it should! Like flying over obstacles, water and move in the vertical axis as well. To me this is being lazy of Larian. I'm a game designer, if I was hired and worked for Larian, this would have been pushed through to work the way it should. Not tied to ground movement.. almost ruins the game experience due to little things like this.

I really like how Solasta does that. Flight effects make your character actually fly. You can zip around the 3D environment, hover at any height, and smack flying enemies who'd be out of reach if you were grounded. Plus, you can aim your spells in any direction across the 3 dimensions. I hope BG3's engine gets that at some point.
