I made another post about the Faithwarden Staff because I agree, the items are not great. You do this quest, save the grove and tieflings, Kagha makes this big deal out of you being a Faithwarden and what do you get?
...
In my humble op. the reward is the TITLE we get.
As this game is all about personality, Dialog and relationships, a Title is far more important to open Doors then anything else.
But such is rarely used all the time. Titles are a different kind of currency and we have yet to see which effect Titels have ingame.
Are they only for the Achievement department or do they have relevance in the Game and can chage the Story in a special way for a special end?
But i do respect the wish for difficult quests resolved that the immediate reward should reflect the quests difficulty.
The staff is a nice to have object if we really would go deep into roleplaying and stick with Druids theme.
But its mostly just much more easy to kill stuff in other ways in the game.
So why go tactical with that Staffs abilities too much and slow things down by using Vines when a high critting Fighter resolves issues in one round.
If we get items with almost no relevance, why even bother using them....
Itemization is a difficult thing to achieve propperly done.
Many games out there have a lot of problems with balance and items availability.
Larian is surely trying to find a good balance and they learn by our feedback and telemetric feedback what happens in game.
Let us be in good hope for a good compromise in the release version of BG3
Until then... we give as much good usable feedback as possible.
