I can finally play D&D instead of always being the default GM! Yay!
It's a fantastic game and I am having a blast with it. It'd be neat if they found a way to incorporate a little more of the utility stuff (scrying etc.) but I can imagine how difficult that would be. The scope of what you can do in the game is definitely much farther than I thought they'd go!
Forever GM's unite! (But like, once we get the schedule finalized /s)
Yeah, this is probably the best D&D game in existence now. It definitely has some pretty fun mechanics and a lot of depth that other D&D vidya games just lack.
Agreed. It's the most direct translation of the actual mechanics and gameplay of D&D to a game ever made and somehow also the most fun.
Hm, now I want a mod for NWN 2 that makes it actually play like a turn-based game to see if that's fun. 5e is probably still more fun than 3.5, but with all the math automated away it could be close.
I forget, do the pathfinder games use v1 or v2? V1 was basically D&D 3.5 in most ways.
Either way, if you haven't played it, you should put Pathfinder Kingmaker on deck for after BG3
They're both based on PF 1e. Looking at the wiki page, I didn't realize they were optionally played in turn-based mode.
Guess I'll have to play em.
I used to GM PF 1e without opening the rulebook because I had those rules down cold from all the years of playing 3.5 before Pathfinder came out.
How does scrying work in the game actually? I'm kinda curious and I don't have the game yet :<
Scrying type spells are not in the game as far as I know. There are a lot of non-combat spells in D&D that are not present, likely because they are based on creative liberties, and difficult to replicate on a computer.
