No it isn't is the simple answer, you can cheat and steal and rob in DOS plus combat isn't MISS MISS MISS whilst the enemy hits 9/10 times no matter what set up you choose, IN BG3 you can't fight well against crazily OP mobs like at the twisted tree or steal at all due to the "Ahh, let them hit with a spell at least one out of 5 to make it seem fair" way I see this game heading, that isn't enjoyable Larian, that's just annoying, I told you this during DOS2 classic and you didn't change it for the better till Definitive, do I have to wait that long again for you to sort your act out as you didn't learn lessons then?, I say this after seriously failing a 0 roll, yes a 0 roll on an invis potion theft pickpocketing after buffing Astarion with Shadowhearts Guidance..I'm to the point of almost rage quiting EA and going back to DOS and other games so I can feel good about my characters and not so negative as this is my second day of misery playing patch 3, IMO patch 3 is great for the good guy players but awful on balanced like myself or evil players..So far to be honest BG3 for me when compared to English football is proving to be a champions league match whilst the Divinity series are all in the Premiership..So NO, I hate to be the bugbear but please don't compare a fledgeling unbalanced and frankly quite annoying game as it's proving to be this patch to a masterpiece..Patch 2 was better, this patch since doing play throughs is a real let down. Yes, I'm contridicting earlier posts as I was all excited when I started patch 3 with all the improvements but now after many attempts I'm just left feeling deflated, fed up of the nerf on pickpocket, fed up of constantly low rolling during fights and fed up of feeling like my character is tarred and feathered being run over by steam trains..I'm off to play the doom eternal expansion I missed to play this to calm down for a while and feel good actually hitting things. There's utter honesty from me after yet again another very unsatisfactory day of play I could have spent elsewhere, I do forgive you as it is EA, but I can't take the depression my gripes are causing with the game in it's present state.
I'm sorry you're frustrated. Maybe wait a bit and see if they hotfix some of this stuff?
