I was talking about skills and spell how AI handling it. That they are standing out of darkness and they don't do anything thats a different problem. But you are rigth about a lot of thing's. But there is a misunderstanding its one thing to be stupid AI but it's a bigger problem that the AI don't have tools. Because this is an excellent example.
So when you cast darkness monster are standing out of darkness the are just slaughtered by the Warlock or whatever.
But when I went to Shars trial they copied my Sorcerer and that was a different story. Because he started to shoot fireball near the darkness are and in this way it owercame the AI stupidity. But if the AI have 0 tools he is just standing. And the can't up ast spells I gived a good example what is really easy to test out .
Ah yes, I forgot that once enemies have access to higher lvl aoe spells they might try throwing them blindly at the character chilling in the darkness, good catch!
Speaking of spells, I recall Swen mentioned that BG3 was supposed to have dispel magic in one of the interviews, which is a staple D&D spell, but in the end they kept it out of the game cause it caused too many problems (like you could legit use it everywhere, including conversations). Why do I bring it up? Well, if only we had dispel magic (so enemies could dispel our darkness or buffs) and enemies actually were scaled to an even playing field to the players... like using the same abilities, heals, spells and whatnot, using their equipped item passives it would make the game a lot more challenging.
Instead of us steamrolling everything in our path as early as lvl 1 (if you know what you are doing, or once your martials reach lvl 5 and get extra attack per round) which is imho really really sad for the so called 'highest difficulty' setting in the game. And add to that possible barrelmancy shenanigans! Meanwhile in PF:KM & WotR 'unfair' difficulty is really damn worthy of it's name... and look, I am not asking Larian to do what Owlcat did when it came to the difficulty settings, but for the love of all that is holy make tactician worthy of it's name at least and give us some lone wolf/honor mode/something higher than tactician. Pretty please!
