Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback SURVEY - Baldur's Gate 3 - Satisfaction Level V1.0

I didn't understand the targeting system question. Took it!

You’ve translated how I feel about combat in general. The way it’s expected to be is always by using your infinite line of sight granted by the game to foresee the odds by properly positioning your characters. Do in think it’s tactical thinking? Maybe. Do I think it immersive? Definitely not.

I like to mention the spider matriarch. I was walking carelessly through the cave and then the initiative rolled. I though - “ok, more than 100 hp, it’ll be tough but who cares.” Then out of sudden those spiderlings started to hatch and I was without spells slots from the very beginning. Died.

Then the second time I was already aware of the monsters in the surroundings. I’ve placed my rogue to lure one by one and I dealt with the boss. Also, I’ve took a long rest to replenish my spells slots. Didn’t used the shove or the web burning strategy to kill it. Didn’t even kill the eggs before the battle. I won, but there was this bitter taste in my mouth that I’ve cheated the system. In the end, this battle was less fun than simply beating the imps in the very begging of the game.

Summarizing, I don’t want to know about the boss position to try it again using a better strat. I really wanted that battle to be unique.

I really do understand where you are coming from. I would simply say that this is how Larian does it and not everyone is going to feel the way that you do, nor are they going to care as much about changing some of the D&D rules. For example, I liked that fight with the Matriarch and it would have been far less interesting without the eggs hatching.

This game has a lot of constituencies and it's probably impossible to make everyone happy. Maybe best to make everyone a little bit unhappy to find the sweet spot.

I think I'll echo Vic's question and ask how does one participate?

bumping because there once was a link to the survey in the first post, though it seems to have been replaced with a link to the pdf results. I assume this is a mistake...OP?

I was apprehensive, but it is a good survey.
Even if it focuses a lot on 5e implementation, it is fair enough.
Hopefully a good mix of players will respond.

EDIT 1 : the question about "no for-of-war" was a bit confusing for me. I presume it refers to the fact your camera can look everywhere.

EDIT 2 : The "engage all" was a bit surprising also. Some enemies that are near do not engage at all, so the question seemed biased towards claiming all enemies attack, which is not true at all. In the goblin camp (ruined Selune Temple) for example, you only fight goblins that are in the close vicinity, which is not realistic, unless one hits the war drum.

What exactly are you trying to achieve with this survey? It isn't a good measure of the opinions of people who are playing the EA, because it has a very clear selection bias. Only the people who visit the feedback forum will even see it to begin with, which is a very small subset of the total number of people who are playing the EA. It is likely that there is also a non response bias here, as unless everyone who looked at this thread opened it 10 times, there is roughly 10 times as many views of the thread as responses.
