Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Just completed early access :-)

I've just finished early access! I can't wait for the next patch/update.

I spent all weekend playing it. Such fun.

I'll update my thoughts in due course.

My party consisted of the following level 4 heroes - and you'll notice that I didn't use a "pure mage":

- Battle Master - Lae'Zel
- Thief - Astarion
- Cleric (Trickery Domain) - Shadowheart
- and my main hero - "Coffee" a Ranger (Beast Master)

Tips:

- Make use of the "throw skill" i.e. fire potions to engulf/bomb your enemies area
- Use fire a lot
- Keep your range hero/supports constantly jumping out of battle/stun range
- Use the Spider Companion - it rocks - web+fire = gg
- Make sure you tank up your meatshield as much as possible i.e. Lae'Zel in my case. I spent A LOT of gold on her, i.e. the flashy helm that prevents critical hits.
- Arm everyone with a bow if you can, sometimes you need to hit enemies at range.


TIPS FOR THE DEVELOPERS [TO BE UPDATED]

[PLACEHOLDER]

EA is capped all level 4, so "only" level four was bad wording if you happened to know this. Congrats Still haven't finished it myself yet.

I am using Wyll, Gale (abjuration), Asterion (thief) and my main is a wood elf melee cleric (life) using finesse weapon and a shield as tank.

Ah I wasn't aware of the level cap. Thanks.

How was the Ranger beast master to play? Been thinking of that oen in my next playthrough. Which race did you pick?

It was so much fun. Haslin, one of the NPCs you meet later on, is my dream hero. He's able to transform himself into a bear and he's tanky as hell. And a mini-mage on the side.

I didn't quite reach the heights of Haslin (because we're pretty restricted in early access), but I did get to test the ranger/beast master.

It's fun - I like the idea of summoning a meatshield/cute pet that I can stand behind, which soaks up damage, allowing me to gun down my enemies from afar.

I would definitely recommend it if you like this kind of style.


NB. I believe I picked Elf. My detection skills were very useful in this team for night vision etc.
