We have already skipped over Flesh, clay, stone, bronze, and iron golems into fighting an adamantine golem. at level 4.
Did they really lol. I fought the golem but that detailed completely went over my head.
You know what it reminds me of? Snyder’s Superman films. Expecting for wow moments to be wow moments because of familiarity of the franchise while doing no set up of its own, while pissing off everyone remotely familiar with the IP.
So there was a gimmicky golem fight. Was I to be frightened by it being adamant one golem? If they assume players will have an extensive DND knowledge, why do they mess with DND so much? And if they don’t, why did they go for adamantine golem? To me it was just a golem, they might have put anyone one of those and it would be the same.
In BG2 when I encountered badder golems I went “oh shit” because smaller ones where already kicking my butt before. And it felt great to fight my way through golems at the end of BG2.
