I'm a new member to the forum, recently retired and hadn't played an RPG since the original Zelda on Nintendo. I've been having a great time with a few titles but I'm unsure about BG3. As a point of reference I liked and played DOS twice, and loved DOS2. I've also played Wasteland 3, which I enjoyed and Shadow Run, which was just OK. My problem is I want to try BG3 but I'm concerned about the D&D rules (dice) because I bought Pathfinder WOTR and stopped playing after 5 hours because I did not enjoy or understand the combat and became very frustrated. The world and characters looked great but I just couldn't play it. I'm not saying WOTR is a bad game but only that it wasn't for me. I did a search and found a few comparisons between BG3 and WOTR but nothing definitive enough to make me feel comfortable with the gameplay. I just need to know if the randomness of the dice is part of the BG3 combat or not. I want to play BG3 badly because of the great things I've heard but I don't want to buy it only to be frustrated by the combat.
Thanks to anyone taking the time to respond
