I am a computer RPG veteran and long time fan of the Baldur's Gate series. I started playing BG3 early this year. I have spent close to a thousand hours on the original BG series, including a hundred or two on no-reload, solo runs. I have created a website to house articles and guides on computer RPG's like Neverwinter Knights, Icewindale, Pillars of Eternity, and most importantly the Baldur's Gate series. My plan is to focus on BG3 content, polish it to a shine by full release, then see if I can draw new players back to the CRPG classics.

Here is the link to my latest guide, where I review all of the classes and sub-classes available so far: BG3 Class Tier List and Guide. Your feedback is welcome!

Impressive work! Now, before getting into the actually valid critics, I'd like to point out that if it is within your power, I'd recommend a smaller font and row spacing so that your readers do not have to scroll as much. The text size and formatting feels overwhelming at first glance, which might be discouraging - especially for the new people who really would benefit out of reading your guide.



With that out of the way - I'd like to state that when discussing class-tiers there will always be discussions whenever a certain class really is X tier or debates of whenever a certain class is more useful than the others. I agree with some tier choices, and others I disagree with (not that my opinion should be valued very highly, considering most people on these forums are much more experienced and knowledgeable than I am smile ) .

However, regardless of which - I think the guide itself is extremely helpful, especially to newer players, only because of the detailed explanation of the classes and their sub-classes and the tips provided to each class' game play style and group role. I am not sure how hardcore the average CRPG player is regarding tiers, but I for one would never consider swapping my PC's class and character fantasy just because there are better ones for min-maxing - but having the information out there is great. Knowledge is always great!.

So, while I certainly wouldn't make a character of class X and race Y just to min-max my session, the overall information in this guide is a welcome sight for people who simply lack experience and/or knowledge of DnD. I certainly would have benefited from reading it before engaging in the world of BG3... Fortunately for me, it worked out well in the end (thanks to some people on these forums!). laugh


Hoot hoot, stranger! Fairly new to CRPGs, but I tried my best to provide some feedback regardless! <3 Read it here: My Open Letter to Larian
