Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Serious balance issues ranged vs melee

I honestly believe a little buff would only work if Larian fixes the broken stealth system and NPC AI to limit sniping abuse. Like I said, and others on this board have also said, ranged + stealth makes a lot of the biggest fights soloable without a scratch because the AI won't go looking for you. Advantage is a big deal, and granting advantage for attacking from high ground (ranged) is really hard to equalize with melee that doesn't benefit ranged as well. I have little faith that Larian will fix the darkness/devil's sight and the description of darkness tells me that they really have no intention of doing it.. (a warlock with devil's sight should have no issues making ranged attacks on targets inside a darkness spell),so much for a melee warlock mix that uses the same trick to get advantage. The only way I can see fixing it is to nerf the hell out of the height bonus to ranged attacks, maybe make it a +1 to hit at most, which would also give melee a step up when fighting on the low ground because they wouldn't be turned into a pin cushion in the first round particularly if they have a high ac.
