Ive been playing Icewindale again, and it has reminded me how stupid enemies would be in the old games. They target the first character they see and chase them around the screen. So all I have to do is arm my party with bows and hit from a distance while 1 character aggros the enemy and plays ring around he rosey.
So, BG3 has a far better combat system going with more intelligent and challenging enemies...when it works right that's is.
So do I think it can improve? Absolutely. I just think that sometimes we forget how NOT good the old games could be too at times. They had their gimmicks too.
