I’m sure it’s the upcoming, it’s been in EA for almost a year so plenty of people like myself have been playing it for some time
Couldn't be too sure, older games tend to be a bit more brutal and I think the original uses a bit of less forgiving ruleset.
And I've played the Early Access as well, just last week. The combat didn't seem to hard, though I may have just been better planned and more aware of how much more combat-focused CRPGs tend to be over TTRPG.
I think the biggest difference is that my brother is our DM and he'll pull his punches if he can tell we're getting really bad luck or frustrated.
Baldurs Gate doesn't do that, and really shouldn't. It's supposed to be challenging. Ngl, having to control your entire party in combat is kinda difficult for me. I guess I'm too used to only having control of just my PC that it's intimidating playing the other classes, especially the ones I don't have much experience with. I also don't have other player's turns to plan my next turn.
Growing pains, I'm looking forward to the full release.
