Hey guys,
In 5E the Wizard class is one of the most powerful classes. In Baldur's Gate 3 he is not a desirable class to play... Why so?
No Ritual Casting
No copying spells from scrolls or books
No real use of utility or social spells(You really need a DM, the nature of a video game is limited responses, which makes social spells weaker)
So the advantage of having access to the most spells in the game is not here.
Most of the blaster spells are accessible to the Warlock as well.
Having more spell slots Just for blasting in combat does not help, with short resting the warlock or Long Resting him as well.
Having Intelligence as Major attribute is mega negative with truly on having Arcana checks being useful here. Having Charisma as your main attribute will have infinite more benefit, comes up more in your game, than intelligence.
There is no real advantage to take the wizard over the Warlock, Bard, and Sorcerer. The main advantages are Not in the game Ritual Casting and Massive Spell Selection(SELECTION OF UTILITY SPELLS) which to be fair is very hard and almost useless in a video game. Just saying the wizard class in 5E works very well in Real Life, but is falling short in the video Game.
