I’m ok with this. The difficulty curve is pretty uneven. Also, if you’re a beginner, it’s largely reversed, with some pretty lethal encounters at the start.
Yeah Witcher 3 and Skyrim are the most recent RPGs I’ve played. This is very next level without much guidance as to what’s what.
I’m experimenting and being free with the reloads to try and get a grip but I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. I’ll get there.
This is how I started BG3 as well. I ran through the beginning “map area” as a Druid support and it was NOT the right call for a first-time Baldurs Gate player(or at least me). Once I got through the first “map” area, I restarted the game. I chose a more damage friendly class(rogue) and pretty much steamrolled after that. Now that I know that game enough, restarting helped me see some hidden areas I missed or things I just walked passed because of not knowing. 100% would recommend this. I think I was 15 or so hours in. But I quickly got back to my same progress maybe 12 hours in.
Similar experience for me. I somehow missed getting La'zel and Gale on my first playthrough. I managed to go back and find Gale, but La'zel was nowhere to be found. The encounter already happened I guess.
I restarted and things now make more sense.
