I've finally cleaned up enough space on my 250GB SSD to download BG3. I've tried Divinity 2 before, but bounced off it for some reason. Still, people are raving about this one and I think Illithids are cool, so I decided to give it a try.

Still there are so many options. Generally I like X-com, so which classes are interesting mechanically from the "tactical" perspective? Also there are backgrounds of some sort. Which of them make the game more fun and which are the opposite?

Honesty not sure how to approach this big-ass game...

If it's anything like regular 5e, Artificer, Wizard, end of list. From the Divinity games, Larian are better on environmental combat than specifically tactical.

artificer isn't in the game unfortunately, but you can mod it in on PC

[–] Onimasta@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Oh. Are there any must-have mods?

i dunno? there are some mods to add in spells that 5e has but the game doesn't, same with races, and others to let you have all companions at once in a party and other shit. i didn't really fuck with mods though.
