Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Min-maxing (BG vs DOS approach)

>old good new bad

what are you talking about.
PoE allowed min maxing? the game by BALANCEMAN himself?
The biggest criticism of PoE was that you couldnt do this.

Meanwhile in Divinity you could make a completley ridiuclous lone wolf build that wipes the floor with most encounters before they have even begun. If you didnt find it possible to minmax in divinity, you were just bad at it.
i genuinly do not understand where those arguments keep coming from.

Its like you people sit there all day, pondering about a new thing you can claim larian does "wrong", without having any actual clue.

>5e is balanced
the only edition less balanced than 5e is 3E / 3.5E
The older editions were much more balanced because they were far more simplistic and characters couldnt be nearly as powerfull.
4e was created with class balance in mind.

5e is basically 3.5 light and thus it shares its problem with having vast differences in power even within one class depending ont he spells or fighting styles you pick
