@nessisonett I guess pause and play is not so bad with a keyboard and mouse when you can pause and quickly carry out a series of complex movements and actions but on a controller it gets really annoying. Like when your archers are drawing aggro and you have to send them off in various directions while you try and re-position your tank urghhhhh gives me a head ache thinking about it.

@kyleforrester87 It’s still horrible with a keyboard and mouse. D&D is turned based and works like Divinity, which has such better D&D combat than BG - which tries to have some sort of action stuff and ends up completely maiming the rules and system it’s based upon. It’s by far the worst part of the game makes you wanna our combat on easy so you just skip through it.

@JohnnyShoulder
The old DA games were light ARPG hack & slash games tat worked really well. More of that would be awesome.

@Jaz007 I'd just like to see them drop the D&D rules completely for BG3 but it isn't going to happen is it?

@Jaz007 The very word THAC0 brings a chill to my spine 😂😂

@KALofKRYPTON Yep I'd be happy with that for DA!

@nessisonett THAC0 😭😭😭

@nessisonett
“A simple formula for quickly calculating the success or failure of an attack roll using THAC0 is: THAC0 - (roll on a d20) = AC Hit. For example, if the attacker has a THAC0 of 17 and rolls a 15 on his or her To Hit roll, the attacker has succeeded in hitting if the target's armor class is 2 or higher (2 or worse).”

It hurts 😭😭😭

@kyleforrester87 ‘simple formula’ 😂😂

@nessisonett I know, I really don’t know how you translate that information over to 6 characters fighting 8 enemies all loaded with random buffs and nerfs, in real time.

@kyleforrester87 @nessisonett sounds like THAC0 Tuesday for BG:DA.

WATCH OUT!

@nessisonett @Jaz007 @JohnnyShoulder looks like they’ve gone for the Divinity style combat in BG3, then.

It basically looks like Original Sin 3 to be honest.

@kyleforrester87 That's fantastic to hear and makes me want it all the more. It will be an actual D&D game, which is nice because pretty much all D&D games aren't D&D as much generic fantasy games that forgot what D&D is about, and if they don't, they screw up the combat or something in a way that it's astounding the developers put it past discussing it in a room.

@kyleforrester87 Sounds good, gives my poor space bar a rest 😂

@kyleforrester87 Thanks as I'd totally forgotten enough it all. Reminds me that I need to play the first Original Sin.

@JohnnyShoulder or the best original sin, as I call it.

@kyleforrester87 Original: Sin

@JohnnyShoulder yeah why the hell not.

@kyleforrester87 @nessisonett @Jaz007 The cinematic trailer looked very Lovecraftian, were the previous games like that? I've only played the Dark Alliance games and iirc they were just ya normal D&D fantasy stuff.
