Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback So many unnecessary confirmations...

Like.. why do we have to go through stages with things like dash? You press dash and then the character goes into an epic, glowy magical stance that you have to then press again to confirm? Why not just get into dash directly?? Or just expand the movement grid, and you can always opt out if you don't end up wanting to move into "dash territory", like they do in Solasta? And druids with their produce flame.. it takes so many clicks just to throw a fire cantrip? Why not make separate buttons or at least make things faster, there is no need to go into stances for everything that you have not yet confirmed.

+1. It also applies to spells like second wind, armor of agathys, blink and mirror image(and maybe i forgot something). These QoL features would be most welcomed

I agree. Hide works instantly, dash should too.

I can see confirmation being useful for abilities that use a ressource, even if the only target is self. In that case, the confirmation should happen directly in the hotbar to help flow of use.

I am always for less clicks and minimal mouse movement to accomplish certain tasks.

I agree - there should be less clicks

Many things are resources. Action and Bonus Action are, and you get only one of each per round, which you can only use on your turn.

As you pointed out, Hide costs a Bonus Action, and there is no confirmation required. (Not that it should be so btw. Hide should cost an Action for everyone but Rogues, but this is outside the scope of this discussion.)

Dash costs an Action, and requires confirmation.

Personally, I fail to see why there is a difference. And I would welcome a more consistent UI. (Also, perhaps some UI optionality. Some players might want to have the game require confirmation for both actions —and plenty of other things. Some players might want to have to confirm their choice for neither action. Some players might even want to mix-and-match.)

I third...economy of motion for less tedium.

I second this, it's really bothersome. I don't know if it's the game's way to tell you "Are you sure? Sure sure sure? If you do it you can't undo it" but, as @Drath Malorn pointed out, the hide action doesn't have a confirmation click, so there is no reason to have them for the dash, disengage etc. actions.

This is a turn-based game, by definition it has slow gameplay. Making it slower for no reason is just detrimental to its experience.
