I mean, the tactical battles are fun, but deep into final act, they become prolonged and tiresome to a point I stopped really bothering and instead focus on a story. Especially enemies getting anywhere from 2 to four actions per turn, that is really asinine if you have party where everyone has 1+1 actions.
Kudos to all of you that endure, you are real mvps and enjoy the game
So were you shamed by someone for doing this? Or maybe you’re projecting that you think people would shame you for doing this?
Why is it that gamers who play at lower difficulty levels need to tell people about it in a manner that acts like it’s some sort of “against the grain/unpopular opinion” thinking?

This guy over here doesn’t want to be challenged by the game’s combat system!

See? Nobody cares.
You do you, man. Meanwhile my headcanon is that the tadpole gives me time powers while I save scum.
Games are for entertainment, if you’re entertained then do what you wanna do. I save scum all the time because, no, I don’t wanna blow up because I failed a check on a trapped chest. Godspeed!
The best part of DnD is you can play your way and Larian seems to have embraced that. My tabletop group is pretty much pure homebrew at this point and it’s a ton of fun.
Your party has ascended to another plane and are unstoppable! :)
I totally understand. This game is pretty old school when it comes to the difficulty curve, and with the huge number of character options, it’s really easy to end up with a seriously sub-optimal party without knowing.
Also, the difficulty is all over the place early on because the game has no idea where you’re going to go, but the encounters don’t scale. Depending on how you wander around, there are a number of encounters early on that will definitely wipe a first level party, especially if you still only control 2 characters. Bandits in the ruins, I’m looking at you.
If you like tactical play, I would suggest simply starting a new play through after you get some experience. You’ll be surprised how easy this game is once you know what you’re doing.
