Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General A report on tags-specific dialogue options

Someone called fireundubh shared their analysis (datamining I presume) in this Reddit post. I thought it might be of interest to some folks here.

If you want to access the report and tables directly, it's there : https://wiki.fireundubh.com/baldursgate3/dialogue-options.

My quick-look impression and short summary :

• For Races, Githyanki, Drow Elves and Tieflings have the most dialogue options. Note that this is Act 1 data, so it broadly makes sense given the story.
  Humans Halflings and Half-Elves have the fewest options. (Edited : it's the Halfings, not Humans, that are second to last.)
  
  
• For Classes, Barbarians are way ahead. The recently-introduced Bards come next, followed shortly by the Druids (who have special story content).
  The initial EA classes (Fighter, Ranger, Wizard, Warlock, Cleric, Rogue) are way behind. Sorcerers actually didn't do better than this group.

This seems to give more weight to the impressions that several players got : the classes introduced after the start of EA got more love from the writers.

A couple things to bear in mind. This is EA data. Hopefully Larian will even out the situation for the left-behind classes. Also, quantity of dialogue options does not indicate quality (although it possibly correlates with the time the dialogue writers spent working on these dialogue options, if we assume that all options have comparable word count and took comparable times for the writers to come up with them).

I felt Sorc is pretty well loved



Feel like fighter definitely needs love though. They should be able to pry off shadowheart's pod too. Maybe make it a bit harder than the barbs role but I think it should be an option

But what if you make your Fighter based on Dexterity, instead of Strength?
And why not also Cleric? They can have as much Strength as Fighter.

Thats why there is only Barbarian, even tho in Larian version it is possible to play Dex Barb. O_o

If there should be any change it should be just regular [Strength] roll ... rather than just specific classes.
With option for Barbarian to burn Rage, in order to get Advantage, but having to make (easy) saving throw to calm down, otherwise you attack Shadowheart ... bcs you are too angry.
