Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Fun with Boxes

Boxes you can pick up can be put out in the world and you can climb on top of them. Build your own forts.

You do get advantage when up on them.

I need to test this in a bigger fight to see if the AI is smart enough to attack the boxes.

That's the portable advantage hill i talked about in other forums a while ago.

Are we seeing the rise of the school of Cratemancy now? Asmodeus preserve us.

I am at the point of EA where I start to try to activity break stuff.

I am not surprised that others are abusing crate or boxes.

I tried using a barrel but can not seem to climb up on barrels. Guess Larian thought that would make barrels overpowered.

Maybe it was intended to be a DnD Minecraft game all along. Brought to you by the Michael Bay Exploding Barrel Factory and the Standard Oil corporation.
On a more serious note: I do not mind the boxes. Enemies ignoring explosive Barrels and walking into their doom does break the game, this does not. There is no good reason why the player should not be able to build a watchtower or slow enemy advancement by placing obstacles.

Top Anime Crossovers.

Well, another thing I want to test is since barrels can not be climbed on, can I block an NPC from moving by placing barrels around them?

Sigh, I am going to have to make a high strength, high dexterity rogue to test out how abusable this is.

So, used them into another fight.

1. if a spell is targeted at someone behind a box, spell goes through box.
2. If spell targets someone on a box, it can be effected. Acid Slash seems to be the ban of boxes.
3. Boxes can confuse the AI, had one mob just stand still, not sure what to do.

So we can use crates as CC then. Sounds promising.

I still need to see if I can block NPC with normal wooden barrels.

Well this deserves a follow. I'll keep the enemy pathing in mind and might add to the data eventually.
