I noticed that the Spiffing Brit did a review of BG3 EA today and it was both really funny and pretty much spot on. Combat is broken, stealth is broken, the AI is broken and until it's sorted the game will be broken. Coming up with creative ways to abuse the combat system is not being tactical, it's abusing broken mechanics. And he really didn't even dig much deeper into the broken levels of surfaces; just the bonus action stealth combined with a ranged attack alone basically makes any encounter shooting fish in a barrel. I'm really hopeful that as the game is created that things will be changed for the better, but I also have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that the problems are so much a part of the base of the game that they can't be fundamentally fixed.
Regardless it is a funny review; long live Cheddar.
