Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Dialogue for Advantage/Disadvantage/Miss/Hit

Larian uses the terrain to create Advantage/Disadvantage much more frequently in combat. While this can make things more tactical and interesting, it also can make it hard to figure out what's happening unless you pay attention. You can assume it's just bad rolls unless you are watching the tool tips.

Dialogue could solve this and would also make the characters come alive.

"Ack, can't see!" complains a human without darkvision who missed due to disadvantage. Repeating this line every time would get annoying, but periodically would be helpful. Especially with variant lines.

"Can't penetrate!" says a fighter who gets a "miss" on a giant ogre because the monster's hide deflected the attack. (Hint: you didn't "miss" the giant ogre. You don't have the worst aim ever.) This could also tip off the player to try a different tactic.

"Ha, ha! Had the high ground!" gloats a rogue with advantage due to height when the attack hits. Again, not repeated every time this happens, just periodically. Especially if this same condition hasn't happened recently.

More voice ques can defenitly help with transfering information and/or the baldurs vibe.

Just rip his voice from the movie and use that.

Good idea. And they had it in DOS already. Looks like it's one of those things that didn't get there yet.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

I do think that this kind of line is always triggered far too often, and the more unique they make them, the more obvious it is when they are repeated. So my request would be that whatever the devs (any devs, for any game) think is a reasonable number of times to here a such lines, divide that number by at least 10.

Now I imagine myself yelling at some random goblin from my one foot high ground "You were the chosen one!"

Make it happen, Larian.
