Okay, time to re-rail this because certain people insist on continuing this train of thought and proving me right.
- BG3 is proud of being vertical. Then please add fly and spiderwalk too, this was great in Solasta.
When I see BG3 now, "fly" being a big jump feels just wrong.
I don't think this is happening unless Larian overhauls their engine. Even though it's been about three months since we've last heard from them, I don't expect that this is what they're spending development resources on. Especially when realistically it'll only affect the Harpy fight (although the spider fights could be redesigned for this too).
Fun fact: Harpies and Phase Spiders DO NOT normally have ranged attacks, they are a deliberate addition. They normally only possess melee attacks, and the main counter to Harpies for melee characters is to ready action an attack for when they swoop down to strike. (Spellcasters could also use spells like Sleep to force them down and take fall damage in the meantime.)
