..., how did we allow this passed EA without picking up on this shit?
Saw it in EA.
Complained like crazy on this forum about it during EA.
Devs never commented once on the topic.
They obviously had a goal of dumbing down the combat to appeal to the lowest common denominator of gamers this time.
Simply means that Larian is no longer a 'must buy' developer. Will always wait until well after release before making any decisions.
It takes so much intentional self gimping of my party to find anything remotely resembling a challenge that I am constantly fighting off boredom with the combat in DOS2.
And the armor system is 100% to blame.
