Apparently recent PC Gamer article raised some eyebrows. The writer argues that one will have better time in BG3 if they won’t powergame:

Also Josh Sawyer’s 2cents:


I don’t really have a horse in the race - I am in the middle. I definitely do think about building a proficient character, and what role I want them to fill, and in general try to play decently. At the same time I wouldn’t consider myself a “min-maxer” - I am looking for sensible, effective, “fun” choices, but not heavily weighting one good choice against another.

Thoughts?
