Ive been playing the game since it came out, taking time off the game after playthroughs so I dont burn myself out but it seems these arguments just dont die down. They (generally) still cant narrow down what it is exactly that feels off to them and if anything, theyre just repeating themselves over and over. People also get defensive or offensive to others if they ask them to explain, leading to things kike you bring up. 15 replies and its people talking back and forth with not to much beeing said.
I can narrow exactly what feels off: The gameplay.
From the first gameplay reveal where Vincke gets his ass kicked and only wins the very first encounter by dipping his bow literally into fire and exploding a barrell to kill all enemies I didn't feel like that was 5E D&D.
Surface effects, shoving, jumping and disengaging as bonus actions, high ground, walking behind enemies to get backstabs. It felt like playing DOS with d20.
What got me pissed was that they said in interviews that a pure adaptation wouldn't translate well into a video game... and then Solasta came out and proved them wrong. It plainly plays better, not different, better, like it feels like I'm playing D&D on my computer.
It is the exact same system they are trying (or should be trying to) to emulate, and 17 guys with 200k did in 2 years what BG3 with 400 didn't do in 4. How not to get frustrated?
And on a sidenote, I paid 60 bucks for BG3 and 10 for Solasta.
