Wow. Our experiences are quite different. I was very happy with 3 mercs. I got to create 3 more characters for it. I also thought they were quite necessary for survival. Without them, my MC would surely have died.

I also totally disagree about the pathfinding. BG3 has an entire Megathread about their pathing and how bad their movement mechanics are. I never had a problem with Pathfinder.

And I have no idea what you mean by limiting to 2 puzzles. I also have no idea what you mean by the puzzle that causes instant death of the entire team. Even if there is one and I missed it, so what. It's like the old Choose Your Own Adventure books I used to read as a kid. One bad choice and The End. Just reload and choose again. If it makes sense to have the whole party die because of a bad choice, then I say good for them.

Oh. Maybe you're referring to the end. If you choose the wrong thing you HAVE to fight the insanely powerful demon. Yeah. I did that and died. Reload. Um. Yeah. If you're going to force the gnome who you know can't control his power to confront the monster, or you CHOOSE to fight it, you probably deserve a total party wipe. And as I recall, they even gave the option to sacrifice a character so everyone else could escape.

And, you know, you and I have totally different opinions on games, so I probably will love what happens when Through the Ashes characters return if you were disappointed.
