Hello everyone! I'm new to the Forum, and for context, I love DnD but have only ever gotten to play one small campaign (the usual, time constraints), but I've watched quite a lot of campaigns on Youtube, so the extent of my DnD knowledge only goes that far.
My question is, do you guys think I'll enjoy playing through Baldur's Gate more if I go heavy on research and pre-planning on what to build my class? Or should I just do whatever and see where it goes? I've always liked the Arcane Trickster and I never really even got to become one during the only campaign I've played, but there's multi-classing everyone's doing/planning to do, and all the technicalities. I'm wondering if I won't get to fully appreciate the game if I don't do the same?
Additional question, for the game, are the dialogue options influenced by your character's race and/or class? Or is it just alignment, or not at all?
This is DND 5e not pathfinder, aka its a cakewalk if you got no clue what you are doing just pump one class to level 12, and you will beat the game without any difficulty on normal, as 5th edition is so streamlined you could beat the campaign by beating people with just your fists using an unoptimized fighter with 11 strength. Larian also provide way to many bombs, granades, firebarrels, and scrolls to the point you could just beat most fights with your eyes closed. So no, dont worry about it to much- especially since they are adding respecing to the game. Just try what ever and see if you like it.
