Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Feedack on Gear and Tadpole Power, and how they will affect Builds

I generally agree with your opinion. In a vacuum, I could see myself being excited for these additional systems; they could enable additional variety and depth of builds, which would be great! In practice however (considering Larian's design history - both in the DOS games and EA), I don't really trust them to do a good job and create a system that has a lot of horizontal but little vertical power disparity. I expect certain combinations to be drastically more powerful than others without any significant drawback, and overshadowing (or invalidating) other character options (e.g., race and/or class).
