Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Patch 6 - stop adding combat actions to bonus actions

Watched the panel from Hell....
saw the "weapon abilities" - Then played it a little bit. Its just soooo unnecessary. Look Larian, I get that you're coming from DOS and when you made wizards, druids and sorcerers for Baldurs Gate 3- they have all of these flashy abilities and you feel that fighters are lacking. But that's not the case. As they level up, they get extra attacks, superiority die, all sorts of stuff. And we're not even talking about multi-classing yet. Adding these weapon abilities (especially where a fighter can attack using an action and attack again using a bonus action) takes away the special abilities of the rogue, and helps to not differentiate between the martial classes at all. Please - again, stop doing this. You guys are going to inevitably make a DOS3, and this kind of thing belongs there. That game was built for exploits and a bit of imbalance. You guys said you were making a 5e game. So do that. Give us the branching story, atmosphere, even the dirt thing is kind of cool. But 5e rules have been balanced and the classes differentiated so that it matters. Stop doing things because "a class(fighter) doesn't have enough to do" - as they level up, they will. I think part of this is linked to your reluctance to limit long rests or make them more expensive to take (i know you guys have made some changes to it in patch 5). If you limit it more, you see that while magic users are strong, that the action economy will make them choose to use their more powerful spells when it really counts. (since they only have so many uses per long rest) in addition, limit who can use scrolls like 5e does. Then scrolls become more valuable, and magic users have those to use in lieu of using a spell slot. Then you would see that, while they have powerful options, it's balanced. Stop giving combat actions to bonus actions Larian, please (unless its the rogue, where it belongs). Everytime i think you guys are listening, you do something like this. Give yourselves less work - just stick to the rules and build the world and story...
