🔔 So, I have been playing a fair amount of Baldur's Gate 3 over the past week. I want to preface this by saying that I am enjoying the experience, mostly. When this game is firing on all cylinders, there genuinely has not been a high-fantasy romp of this caliber for a decade; it's lushly-detailed, explores its setting in great depth, has a fascinating cast of characters I enjoy spending time with, and I do in fact get to be a very sexy and cool dragon, which is always a plus for me. However, I find myself frustrated with the game frequently, not because of anything its developers have done; rather I find myself frustrated because of its decision to build upon the bog-like substrate of 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons, which has shed some of its faults in the transition to digital play, but not its most pernicious ones, chief among them from a mechanical perspective the problem of the dreaded '1.'
