Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Robust numerical analysis of BG3 vs RAW DnD combat (AC/HP/Advantages)

Larian doesn't think this is what will sell copies of the game; they know DOS2 sold millions of copies, so the closer to BG 3 is to that, the more they anticipate they will repeat those results.

(For the record I agree they should try and remain closer to the source material for rules; HP bloat makes caster's feel awful to play and demonstrates a fundamental mistrust and misunderstanding of 5e)
