Baldur's Gate 3 Is Still Doing Fighter Wrong

Larian has added Arcane Archer to the game instead of several much better Fighter subclasses.

1) If you're never playing it again, why do you even care?
2) Subclasses don't scale exactly like 5e in BG3, some features are given early and are buffed (such as the draconic sorcerers wings, BG3: lvl10, 5e: lvl14). So it's very likely the arrows will be getting an earlier buff too.
3) Even in 5e, AA gets plenty of features just between 1-10, and there are already items that synergize well with it.
4) Echo knight: Critical Role content. Gunslinger: not official content and no guns in the game. Psi warrior: we already get a ton of psionic stuff from tadpoles. Rune Knight: Sure, would have been cool, but mechanically probably hell to try and implement without the rune mechanisms either breaking or becoming exploitable.

All in all, I don't see the problem here. Arcane Archer is a solid subclass in 5e already, and we don't know how it will be balanced for BG3 yet. So it's a bit early to complain about it. All I know, is that there there are already fitting items for the subclass, and it has huge potential in builds.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Is The Kind Of Game That Makes Me Wish I Could Play One Thing At A Time

I respect people who can dig deep on one game, and only one game, but I can't do it.

I used to play multiple games at a time but because of the time constraints I have I don’t have a choice but to play one game at a time or I’ll end up with some unfinished games. I like to get platinums for the games I enjoy the most so it can take me a long time to get to the next game.

It definitely takes some will power as I always have a stack of games I want to play at all times. But most of the games I play are really good and I am fully immersed when I’m playing a single game at a time.

Same here. I’ll focus on a game that I really enjoy and get the most out of it before moving onto the next title. That is why I have a massive backlog of games now.

Armaggedon14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Same for me. I play so many games, currently playing oblivion, expedition, blades of fire, bg3 with friends , avowed, and Nioh 2. After learning more about myself and gaining mastery, I have developed an ability to get fulfillment from a game without needing to “complete” it. Unless of course, a game hooks me for the story, in which case I have to complete it to see what happens. I have discovered that in terms of gameplay, one can get most if not all of the expected experience in about 25% of progress through play.

Sounds like renting is the best way to go in your case. No point in buying games you won't complete.

Armaggedon13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

It depends on what one deems as “complete.” For some, it is completing the story, and for others it is completing all tasks and objectives. Usually when this happens, people will feel “that was fun, whats next.” There is always a whats next. Cant think of anyone that has consumed media and thought “I am completely satisfied and will not need to play or watch another. I have simply mastered this “hunger” if you will. I am able to get so far in a game and then move to another without needing to reach a certain requirement. A benefit of this is that I do not get bored, as that game I didn’t beat still has mystries to unravel and new things I haven’t done.
