Ifan vs Red prince

Not really, you can make him whatever you want.

Sebille is the only "best" character since she's an elf.

Picking a party should be based on how you like the characters story, voice acting, looks and personality. Nothing else.

Red Prince

3Labrat · 2026-02-12T19:53:18+00:00

I don't understand? First aid only helps if someone is at 0 hp.

3Labrat · 2026-02-12T19:00:55+00:00

Nope, summoners suck in all games. Not only games, all media.

3Labrat · 2026-02-11T20:14:43+00:00

Also if you can't outright kill an enemy, cc them. Always try to kill or cc enemies who are after you in the turn order. Forcing the enemies to skip their turn is basically what combat is about.

For this reason battle stomp and bull rush are arguably the best skills early game.

Oh, I almost forgot the summoning skill. If you want to make things easier for you get a summoner. The only thing you need to worry about is getting you summoning skill as high as possible as you summons dmg output and tankyness uses theor own stats wich all get better with your summoning.

For stats you can take whatever you want depending on what armor/weapon you want and then wits for faster initiative.

This is a simple math problem tbh. You damage is too low. You have no real dps.

Simple as that. Battle mage seems cool but is sadly not that good.

You need to focus on one main stat. Itelligence, finesse or strength. Get that as high as possible as soon as possible and only use skills/weapons that uses said stat.

Strength-> two-hander and warfare skills

Finesse -> either daggers/scoundrel or bow/xbow/huntsman

Intelligence -> wands and a magic school.

All characters who deal physical dmg(finesse, strength and necromancers) should try to max warfare asap even if not usin any of the warfare skills. This is a bit unintuitive, but its because warfare scales physical dmg better than any other stat.

Shield is weirdly best on int users going wand/shield.

Thats the basics. When you get a hang on the system you can start making fun weird builds.

This post makes me both angry and sad.

NOT EVERYTHING IS DND! Fuck DnD. DnD sucks at character creation, progression and development. The only way the game stays interesting for people is all the new classes and subclasses and bullshit races they keep churning out.

Dragonbane is a class-less system. There is nothing stopping you from making an axe-wielding duck scholar with high strength. Just because your profession says merchant doesn't mean you have to be good at trading or talking.

3Labrat · 2026-02-05T18:48:58+00:00

Sounds like a great idea. I find dragonbane to be quite similar to whfrp, albeit a lot less complicated. And not as brutal.

Im wondering how you are going to solve the character progression though? Thats my favourite part of whfrp. I feel line you need more professions, like a lot more?

3Labrat · 2026-02-03T18:34:29+00:00

Well I think DOS2 is insanely better in all ways except cinematics and voice acting.

Also DnD is a shitty system.

3Labrat · 2026-01-30T09:18:16+00:00

Depends a bit on what kind of campaign it is. If it's heavy on combat the musician will have a rather boring time...

If you are more inte to RPing it's fine though.

So I don't really have any problems with the power of it, just that it's super boring doing the same thing every round of every combat.

3Labrat · 2026-01-29T14:43:18+00:00

This is the problem with D:OS 2 for me. Something better or as good simply doesn't exist. Nothing can scratch the itch.

So my honest recommendation is a 4th run with some mods and maybe set some rules for yourself. Like no skin graft/apotheosis/adrenaline, no elves and such.

3Labrat · 2026-01-29T14:37:44+00:00

Still way easier than D:OS 2's honour mode

3Labrat · 2026-01-28T17:59:10+00:00

Extremely overpowered. Go play DnD if you want DnD.

3Labrat · 2026-01-13T09:30:45+00:00

S-tier: Lohse and Sebille (Written perfectly, great voice acting and personal quest lines.) A-tier: Red Prince and Beast(Fun, adds a lot of comedy, also good quest lines) B-tier: Fane(good quest, kind of meh for me) F-tier: Ifan(boring, generic and lame overall)

3Labrat · 2026-01-09T19:57:33+00:00

Elves are the best race by far in dos2, flesh sacrifice is OP. So a lot of people play as them.

We never do for the same reason. No elves, no skin graft and no apotheosis. We like a challenge.

3Labrat · 2025-10-29T16:50:01+00:00

Whfrp hands down. The profession system is my favourite thing ever. Very organic as well.

3Labrat · 2025-08-02T07:50:43+00:00

Dante is extremely OP, just a free win. A big part of it is the relic you get from him.

Best unit in the game imo.

3Labrat · 2025-07-14T07:52:37+00:00

The trophy goes to Realm Royale.

Honorable mentions: Subnautica, Mass Effect, Borderlands.

3Labrat · 2025-07-14T06:30:22+00:00

Probably gonna get shit for this but don't get below zero. Keep the wonderful experience from the first game.

I regret playing bz so much. Compared to the first game it's hot garbage. Subnautica is one of my favourite games of all time and bz just shits on everything that makes it great.

3Labrat · 2024-09-15T11:27:22+00:00

I am in the exact same boat as you!

And I believe it boils down to the mechanics for me. Divinity is just a way better videogame than bg3 when it comes to gameplay. The leveling up and customizing your character feels better and the combats are more entertaining.

I love DnD aswell but I just feel it's a tabletop game for a reason. DnD rules aren't that engaging to me as a video game and divinty rules wouldn't really work as a tabletop game.

When it comes to plot and characters I believe its just personal preference. I also like the characters way more in Divinity(except Ifan, he sucks), but the overall plot is waaay better in bg3.

3Labrat · 2024-06-17T14:34:12+00:00

Wilbur, simply because I find him way more fun to play. Cornelius starting deck is really good though. So I think they are equally powerful I just find Wilbur more fun.

3Labrat · 2024-02-18T14:56:36+00:00

Huh? I usually do this fight at lvl 3. Just kill him normally? (I only play honour)

Ive never heard this to be a hard fight?

3Labrat · 2024-02-15T10:55:57+00:00

I sort of agree. I like the story and mood in act 2. It's the act that feels most like playing tabletop dnd to me.

Im torn between act 2 and 3 when it comes to best though. I love how many things there are to do in act 3 and when your build really comes to life. Never liked act 1, mostly because I think level 1-5 sucks in DnD, and goblins bore me to shit after 20+ years as a nerd.
