"One thing that we learned from the statistics is that people are completely uninterested in a lot of buffing and debuffing spells – we have stats where you can see how many people are using what spell and how often they’re using it, and that made us realise every magic spell that we put in an RPG needs to have this ‘oomph’ factor. You have to want to click it, or you’ll never click it. You cannot sell a bless spell to people. It’s boring. They don’t care – they want to see fireworks, they want to see damage."
Wow.... O_O
This is a VERY alarming quote since it shows they re-interpret data without understanding the WHY... not one bit. It's THEIR screwy home rules that made this happen! Like someone stated before, bless is something frequently used in Solasta, as it's quite possibly THE best 1st level spell in DnD 5th. And yet with all wackiness going on in BG3 right now, of course noone's using it! O_O
