Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Initiative log/details

It would be nice to see details of the initiative roll in the combat log.
I have suspicions that certain bonuses and effects that should influence initiative are not working properly but I can't give legit feedback because there's no way for me to see if anything else is being added to the initiative roll besides the dex modifier.
if there's a way to check that and I'm not aware of it I would love to know. Thanks.

to give a couple examples:
i tested initiative several times with cat's grace on and got several super low rolls back to back.
and then i rolled a 3 having guidance on. The character has 12 dex. so meaning i rolled a d4 and a d20 and got 1 on both rolls lol (+1 from dex). I'm either extremely unlucky or initiative is not getting any bonuses from anything besides the dex modifier (if that?).

It would certainly be great.

In the same vein, the combat log should also display the details of Passive Checks that were made during conversations (e.g. recalling knowledge about the Descent when talking to Zevlor after a successful History Check). So that we can track what's happening.

But I wouldn't want to make this thread enlarge to the point where it becomes "make combat log not suck please". We'll see in a few days how much better the real (not EA) combat log works.

Is this in EA ?... probably be better to ask the people from the test run of the real thing... i have a feeling they have upped thing in the last test run, with the added initiative feat...

This should be addressed. There is zero reason why initiative rolls don't show up in the combat log.

They roll initiative with a d4 instead of a d20, that's why it looks weird as hell. Probably because they want to lump enemies and player characters more together. There's a mod that fixes initiative to be a d20.
