So my main issue with the arguments in the OP is that you could take the fact this is a video game completely out of it, and make these arguments against a tabletop D&D campaign, and they would still be considered silly arguments.
The main arguments as I see it are:
1. The stats of monsters in the game don’t match the monster manual.
I don’t think there’s a single experienced DM on the planet that doesn’t alter monster stats to suit their adventure. This is an extremely common thing to do. You don’t want every goblin in your game to feel like a carbon copy of one another.
2. I got a bunch of bad rolls in a row.
Yeah, it happens. Welcome to D&D.
I think my points were deeper than that. Shorten it to your level of comprehension if you need to, but even the bad dice rolls I pointed out were solved by by knowledge of D&D and the fact I was in caves without light and darkvision. NOW beyond that, I do still see a lot of straight misses when I have advantage on shots, my target is out in open and low armor (Gnoll fight anyone?). Its not a matter of bad rolls, its the rolling format not working right. You should hit half your shots statistically. Now I understand there are going to be times when you miss many times in a row, but with a +6 to hit AC 12-14 on a D20, my odds should be rrrrrrrreally good. Then there is the spell DC of 15 on my Shadowhart Sacred Flame more often than not saved against....on enemies with bane. So its a balance issue that needs to be addressed. I have read about it on these forums, which is why I posted something.
NOW I DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU PLAYING A BARELLMANCER!!!! Knock yourself out, I dont need it removed from the game, BUT DO NOT ALTER THE ENEMIES from the source material to compensate for exploding barrels! My point and its clearly shared is that I do not want D:OS3. I want BG3, its what I paid for. D:OS1&2 were meh at best. I preferred POE honestly as at least deadfire was a little more piratey RP to make up for the stuff it lacked. We are early enough in EA to get what we want, if we act as a group. Stop defending lame shit and listen.
