| Mummelmann said: Just about my only complaint about BGIII in its current state is the rules system itself; I'm not a fan of D&D 5th edition at all (Pathfinder 2e is my jam). But I understand that they can't use the, now archaic, 3.5 system, or the 4th edition that everyone hated. |
I haven't been following almost anything about BG3 (want to be surprised when I play it), so I don't know how faithfully they implemented 5e, but yeah, 5e is piss poor choice to be the core system for BG3, given how few choices player gets after initial character creation in 5e.
Obviously, given the setting, they had to use some D&D system, I'm not sure if WotC is playing any active role in that, so maybe they had no choice but to pick 5e, but 3/3.5e would be so much better fit for the game, no matter how old that system is.
