Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Role-playing elements

I have only played a few hours yet. But I was a DM along time ago.

I would like to see some Role-playing elements that makes the world more alive.

Map- a nice big painted map over the world should be put in. Like Tolkiens Middle Earth map.

When you going to camp for the night a 1D20 should be rolled to determine how good campsite you find.
Weather and environmental features maybe. Day and night cycles.
Food and drink. Check out Vikings or Battle brothers.

Random encounters when you travel. 1D100 determine if you run into something.

Thank you

+1 to maps, day and night and weather

Not interested in food mechanics or random encounters myself.

Better map, D/N cycle - yes.

Food etc. - yes, but in "survival mode".

Random encounters - nah.

Definitly agreed ... about most things, except encounters ...

Yet i might not damn it so quickly ...
Some randomness may not be exactly bad ... if there is some encounder not directly related to story around (not sure if there efen is any) ... i see no problem if enemies will be choosen randomly from bunch of options ...
The only one i can think about are minotaurs ... if there is some chance that we will met different enemy of copareable power ... i see no problem in this "random encounter" ...

But except this one, im affraid everything is related to some quest, story, diary, etc.
So there is also question if that work is even worth it.
