Eight pages in and the Team Hardcore real men still can't get their heads around the fact that nobody forces them to use the OP items or to use the broken implementation of haste or any of the other things they complain about.
There are at least 4 mods on Nexus that convert various things to 5e and several that make various classes more like 5e. There are also at least a couple which alter the level curve.
Eight pages in and the I am Always the Smart One can't get his head around the fact that having so many things and tactical options in the game that you do not use and revert to the most straightforward one klick-and-bash, so the "tactician" difficulty would be at least a bit challenge, takes all the fun out of the game and completely denies the meaning of "tactician"...
Who is using "the most straightforward one klick-and-bash"? I mentioned three different groups of mods, do you use mods? I currently use about 20-24 and many of them are to make the game less Larian and more RAW/5e. No Larian Haste for me and no 5 attacks a turn, etc. I don't use mods to make the game more difficult, I use them to make the game more like I want it. The bottom line is that nobody is forcing you to use OP gear; nobody is forcing you to pre-buff and nobody is forcing you to tweak your spells so they are just so for a particular fight.
"the meaning of "tactician"..." Tactician: One versed in tactics.
