... But unless part of a multiplayer party, you are forced to learn how to use casters anyway...
True dat, good point.
I'm not new to D&D 5E, I regularly play an Arcane Trickster in my weekly campaign, and despite everything I've read, and I'm pretty sure I've read everything, lol... about how sucktastic AT is compared to Theif with Fast Hands... I'm bringing my High Elf AT into BG3, lol.
My buddy, who has never played D&D, (at least not since High School, and we're both 55 now 😁), was asking for my opinion, and Fighter/Champion, or Rogue/Thief seem to me to be the most straightforward, little decision making, characters to play.
With Eldritch Knight you still need to pick spells, know when to use them, juggle stats to have INT high enough to cast offensive spells, or not and just stick to buffs.
Put a gun to my head and I think Fighter/Champion is even more straightforward than Rogue/Thief because you don't have to worry about stealth and trying to get advantage as much.
