I rarely ever post on forums. But I just don't know what else to do. I desperately want to enjoy this game, but I just cant, because it is simply too damn hard! I've even turned the difficulty down to the easiest setting, and I feel like that barely makes any difference at all. I just keep hitting wall after wall and, even though I really don't want to, I'm seriously considering quitting and giving up on this game.
Here's what's happening. Whenever I get into a battle, It "literally" takes everything I have to get through it. My party seems to miss about %70 of their attacks, and whenever they do land a hit, they barely do any damage at all to enemies. Whereas enemies rarely ever miss my party and they do insane amounts of damage to them. Either that, or they cast some kind of extremely powerful AOE spell on them, which damages all my party members so much, that it pretty much renders the fight unwinnable. I've equipped them with the best gear and weapons I can buy, but I feel like every single enemy encounter in the game is a life-or-death battle. No matter how small the enemies I'm fighting. Even when it comes to the magic users, I'm simply finding magic almost useless, as it takes every single spell they have to get through a battle, which means they have nothing left by the time the next fight comes.
So I'm stuck in this cycle of spending hours trying to get through a single battle and getting party wiped over and over again, only to get frustrated and quit, making no progress at all.
Balders Gate 3 has such wonderful lore, writing, characters, art ETC... And I feel like I'm unable to enjoy ANY of it because I just cannot get anywhere in this game because of the absolutely insane difficulty.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I'm honestly considering giving up on this game.
If anyone has any advice at all, I would greatly appreciate it.
