Hello people from Larian and all other fellow gamers!
First of all, let me congratulate you on the best work I've seen so far in game development in my 30+ years of gaming. The effort and the creativity you shown is really felt throughout the whole game and I think I speak for everyone when I say - Thank you for making us an awesome game!
To be brief, I'll get to my suggestion right away. Thank you for reading this.
My suggestion:
I always start games on max difficulty and Baldur's Gate 3 has challenged me throughout the game sufficiently. The higher the challenge, the greater the reward.
However, with time and after getting the hang of the characters I've played, the game gets easier. When you include the suggestions for the best builds people have been posting online, the result is a decrease in that challenge and, subsequently, in enjoyment. Speaking from my own point of view.
I know that balancing a game difficulty is almost impossible and that it is a lot to ask. But, I suggest that you consider adding another level of difficulty, above Tactician, considering the strong builds people have come up with. It would be fun to have the chance to utilize the strongest builds in the game and still be challenged. I am talking hard, without any mercy.
That is my suggestion. Adding another brutal challenge game mode would improve on the rewarding experience and give us more reason to play it again. Although, to be honest, we will be playing it again and again. But, please consider this.
Thank you for reading and I trust in your judgement, as you've demonstrated you are on top of things.
Also, I would like to congratulate Larian for openly being against selling out and monopolization in the industry, by choosing not to merge with the conglomerate companies and staying close to the fans. This is what motivated me to even consider writing this.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Alec
