Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Request to make game more apealing to some BG fans.

Just use cheat engine, you can make it so that your turn never ends and you one-hit kill everyone, you will get through any combat encounter extremely fast without any effort, you can solve your problem very easily this way.

Hmmm lets see..... i paid the SAME amount of Money like everyone else. So why is my request a ridiculous one? Asking kindly for an easy to implement feature thats purely optional.
And belive me i would NOT be the only one to use it!

As i said the game is very good and enjoyable in other aspects. I gave my money cause i trusted on larian to make a "true in spirit" successor to BG series. I among MANY others are not realy happy with their vision of BG. And instead of crying "make the game like i want" (wich is in fact ridiculous) i am trying to ask for a simple and optional feature to make the game at least enjoyable.

And here come the DOS elitegamers who blame others who do no like their favorite playstyle.
But the true irony is that such a feature would in NO WAY influence THEIR Gaming Experience!

The request is ridiculous because I can’t think of a single game studio that provided a toggle to skip gameplay altogether, so Larian is almost certainly not going to give you one. The best you can hope for is a story-mode difficulty.

Console commands have been and still are a feature of various games, but Larian's design philosophy doesn't seem to run that way.

Yes, I’ve played Bethesda games and the original BG games and used the console for both, but that isn’t what the OP is asking for. Providing access to the command console is not the same thing as programming a pop up window that asks the player if they would like to skip gameplay.

Yes, but the solution to OP's problem is still very easy to achieve without the dev's involvment.

...And? That has nothing to do with anything I said.

Yes, but the solution to OP's problem is still very easy to achieve without the dev's involvment.

Relying on modders isn't an ideal solution, but, of course, this isn't an ideal world.

At the very least allow an option in the menu to speed up enemy turns during combat.

if I just need to spend 15 minutes to fetch some files from the web that will solve my problem I don't see why I would bother asking the devs to do it.

Or maybe they just wanted to vent.

It is related in the sense that having access to console commands would also be another solution, and in the sense that you don't need to ask anything of devs if a solution to your problem is readily available.

Then why are you directing this at me and not the OP?

Because you said that console commands ( and I guessed cheat engine by extension ) are not the same as asking the devs to make a skip combat button, which to me indicates that you think OP's request is reasonable.

I’m sorry, but this is the kind of nonsense that makes me hate speaking to people online. I said “ The request is ridiculous,” and the first response in this thread is me saying that the OP’s request is never going to happen.

Yes, but I don't always remember which post was done by whom, I answered to your post in a vacuum. My bad, no need to hate.

Currently its about as D&D as Dark Alliance was. Same names, different rules.
