Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Multi-Classing in Adventurer Mode

Not all of us have the time or inclination to "challenge" ourselves in BG3, especially on our early runthroughs.

Personally, I find even Balanced far too difficult and frustrating at the moment.

I understand that multi-classing is prohibited in Adventurer Mode? Why? Why is Larian penalizing players that want to play the game for enjoyment, not for masochism purposes?

I love the game but will probably never play it on the higher difficulty settings as I have limited time and resources and don't really want to suffer.

Are there any plans to change this prohibition?

Thanks.

Wow, I didn't know that. Is that true? I wonder why multi-classing would not be an option in that mode.

I can't see a reason for excluding it. I agree, if it's not available, it should be.

Multiclassing makes the game noticably more difficult unless you know exactly what you are doing. If balanced is "far too difficult and frustrating" for you, then I can assure you, multiclassing would lead to similar frustration.
I'm assuming this is the exact reason why Larian does it. To protect inexperienced players from bad decisions.

Thank you. That is sound advice.

I was thinking I should wait until I get through on adventurer a couple of times and then move up to balanced and eventually tactician.

This seems like a confirmation.

I like the answer from @brir - makes sense to me.

You can change the difficulty setting whenever you want. If you really want to try to multiclass (maybe to test around or to try some build you saw on the forum) just switch the game to balanced mode, level up and switch back to explorer mode. You can always respec at Withers if it goes sideways.

Thank you! I had thought of that, but wasn't sure if it would crash my game.
