Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback mountain pass OR underdark

While I can see merit in having it either/or, I'd prefer keeping both.

For play throughs 3+, I'm going to speed it up by doing either/or. Narratively it does seem weird to back track without level gatekeepers.

I remember fondly going only so far in BG2 and then hitting some vampires and retracing steps to do another quest. It's quite cool pepper-potting between quests.

But BG3 doesn't have many level gatekeepers apart from the Githyanki patrol.

Yes! The start of the cursed lands don't play out how I thought they would. I was expecting more shadow/wraith attacks with deadly strength and max-hp drains. Instead, no level gatekeepers. The Underdark plays correctly, but mountain pass route is too easy.
