HAHAHAHA that video is hilarious!
As I said, it shows how screwed up Larians combat system is, but I doubt they will change it because its their special snowflake thing they want to advertise.
Think that's a little on the extreme. I think it's fair to say this kinda stuff will most definitely be fixed.
That said I agree with Tuco, I don't need levels, though i am happy enough if players want the option in settings totoggle them on/off. As for finding out like i ye olden days. I mean I killed the Ankheg bugs on the farm in BG1 at level 2 and Drizzt shortly after. Oh many a reset and playing with necromancy etc for extra bodies, but it was fun and the rewards were massive. However due to the RtwP nature of it, it was fast, so failure didn't cost you an hour, hence I could see why some form of indicator might for some be helpful.
How do you want to fix that? This is an ingrained part of the entire system in BG3 which depends more on environmental effects and barrels than actual D&D combat.
If you choose to use barrels and environmental effect. I'm lazy and unorganized and distracter so a lot of times ended up fighting face to face (that means D&D rules were full in controll). Larian don't force the players to take advantage of heights (that by the way in what would conflict with D&D except if we interpret the D&D background as something where being clever, that is making the most from the battleground, just like you know a lot of very famous war generals in History did, you know people like Hannibal, Gengis Khan, the Russian generals that twice defeated big armies just letting winter, a delicious environment tool, do its deed, or the Vietnamites that used at their advantage the tropical forest they knew very well, or the Afghanis that used the mountain environment to cripple the attacks from the Russian army first and now that of the Staters, or the measles infected stuff used by Europeans to weak the autoctones populations defences, is frowned up because I don't knowI can't get a serious explanation on the reasons, if you consider D&D a background with races, cities, politics, cultures, economy, classes and so on to have freedom of choice on how you want to do a battle (strategy or brute force and frontal attacks), where you have enemies hard to fight because of numbers and hp (that are not so enflated).
And seriously, snowflake? From the complains I'm not sure on wich side is the one rilled with snowflakes because I see and I read too much of something easily resumed by the phrase "I like things in this way, I think things are this way you producer have to give exactly what i want as I want it and i fyou don't you are a bad producer. That is. A bad producer who prefers another approach other than the only and rightful rightest one that is mine and mine alone!!! Who cares if you crate a game that should be enjoyable by thousands. Mine and only mine is the rightful rightest way to create a game! Because i played since loong time/I'm very skilled/I know better and other players are just spoiled and snowflaky ones!That is. I said it".
