I remember using it only once to a great effect, it’s similar to your example with the gem. There was an item in the nest of big birds and we couldn’t deal with them, so we hid behind a corner and used a hand to throw the item towards another hand who was able to throw it to a safe spot.
Why do you think it’s obsolete? I suppose nowadays we can use AI generative models to explain the difference between the easy and the virtually impossible, but it still can be hard.
You don’t need to take the same number of levels in both classes, it’s common to take a single level from another class to get some proficiencies or class features.
The biggest negative is that you postpone cool class abilities, and you cannot get the best ones from higher levels. This also means that you could mess up the character if you don’t plan the build before starting, but this isn’t a big problem in this game as you can change everything later.
In the interview they mention a specific case of taking two spellcasting classes, that’s what I was wondering about.
What’s the issue with multi class casters? They will have more spell slots than single class casters, while in tabletop they don’t? How does it work?
Rtwp wasn’t the norm as far as I remember, but manuals were. So the systems are explained in the manual, but not too well so there were a lot of online guides.
Anyway you are hardly the only person who dislikes rtwp, it’s a crutch system that tries to give you some control over a full party but ends up in a chaotic mess which is slower than a turn based game would be because you have to pause quite a lot.
I loved BG1/2 in spite of its systems, but I can’t play them today.
If you want to play them, I would suggest a low difficulty, and a lower game speed which both lessen the need to pause all the time. Also most of the party should be melee and archers, assign them the basic combat script so they can fight without too much babysitting.
