Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback COMBAT LOG is still lacking

Combat log this patch is still awkward to read and unclear about how things are calculated. Some of the DCs have had unintelligible numbers displayed in parenthesis as values for calculations or the mathematics have been off.

It's also not easy to scroll up and read back previous events. The placement of the log as a part of the entire GUI doesn't fit and I wish the skills hotkey UI were smaller so the combat log could fit inside of it.

I played a character that had the option to REROLL dice and the log does now show "Reroll" when it rerolled some OR all of the dice, but it did not specify which dice and what the initial value was or the reroll value. Additionally, I do wish the dice rolls were just visible above the characters head like the symbol BG3 uses for passive skill checks in the environment.

Anyway, outside of the issues with the overall UI, the combat log itself needs to be improved and enhanced. Please add your own feedback.

Its pretty bad and I can't see them releasing the game with it in its current condition. Its just jammed partially offscreen to the right in a awkward position, it doesnt show relevant information like what you loot, or has tabs to better view damage numbers and skills going off. It needs help.

The forums can only embed direct links that end in .jpg or .png etc sadly.

Woah, that is one smart Tav!

But to comment more seriously on this. One thing I also find a bit annoying with the logs in general, is that it auto scrolls down when something is added.
Meaning that in combat or in area with npcs talking/singing, it's near impossible to consult older entries.

Like this?

yeah log is half done not even close as to what it should be at the end... It should look like tool tips do now with all the info. Sadly loads or rolls are missing.
