I don't care that it's not 100% faithfull to D&D but I don't really understand some changes, I'd like to be able to choose my starting equipment and the character creation looks way too much like DoS / really lack of GOOD explanations and UI to teach the basic rules.
Obligatory "Armor progression in BG3 is wack" post.
Characters should start with bad armor in one of the 3 tiers: leather armor (light armor), chain shirt/scale mail (medium), or chain mail (heavy).
Level 2-3 characters should acquire the next level of armor (e.g., studded leather or leather +1, breastplate, and splint mail)
Level 4-6 characters should acquire the next level of armor (e.g., studded +1, half plate, and full plate)
Levels 6+ characters should get more magical versions of ^
Characters should
not start out with only light or medium armors, and then find magical versions of those before even finding decent mid-tier Heavy Armor. Last time I played (patch 2), the only heavy armor I found was Ring Mail, which is
worse than what level 1 characters are
supposed to start out with. My level 4 fighter with 8 dex should have access to splint mail AT LEAST.
