Only if this reactions work like in Xcom, where they only work with natural attacks- in Bb3 in the form of cantrips. They trigger automatically and you can not interact with them in any capacity.
Most notably: overwatch: would become readied spell: you use a selected cantrip that is in your first slot [first pick at char creation]
- on the note of solasta reactions, they are really annoying and make combat disruptive by ruining my Emerson by constantly clicking yes / no. It should be automatic and without control on player part- because by logic, reactions are our impulses. You can’t control those, it’s done by our fight vs flight response.
Exactly. Overwatch for a caster should be in form of a cantrip. To be honest I first saw it for my archer. I couldn't understand why they couldn't do an attack of opportunity if they hadn't use their action. So the idea came for there.
I don't want to turn the thread into another solasta vs. BG3. The system should be streamline and intuitive and as close to rules as possible. Neither games are satisfying these requirements.
A large amount of popup would be adverse to player experience and turn BG3 into a niche dnd game. It needs to be intuitive and easy to jump in. Too many pop-ups would ruin that. Imo it should be a simple click during your turn with no interruption during the enemies turn. Hence the overwatch idea. For more complex action to ready they should either be programmed in or not there for the flow and path of the game to be as fluid a possible.
