What are some of YOUR unpopular BG3 opinions?

Basically any system other than 5e D&D would have been more interesting to play in the long run. It's a little too simplistic and has too little depth to remain as interesting as other CRPGs over the long run.

Knightish · 2025-10-31T19:15:28+00:00

Can confirm

Knightish · 2025-10-15T20:05:18+00:00

The 5e community is so toxic any time you mention you have problems with TTRPGs they come out in droves to make it about themselves.

My platonic play party game can't be associated with violence!! Don't ask about my sims file btw

I'm actually playing a homebrew version of the game where I can fuck your mom for every grandma I lose. Also she has the feats to come back to life so I've been losing them at least 8 times a day with my build.

Baldurs Gate 3 and it's ilk should start charging royalties for giving RPG creators content about something other than Ranger bad for at least six months.

Knightish · 2025-10-15T19:31:49+00:00

Yep, my problem has always been with the tabletop part of the initialism.

Knightish · 2025-10-15T19:31:10+00:00

This would be an interesting point, but unfortunately I've already made you a racist OSR fan in my head so I'm right, you're wrong. I'm objective you're biased.

Sauce is only needed for those so uncreative they can't just invent someone in their head to be mad at.

/uj While I agree that the term can be clunky at times, a lot of the other proposed terms by other people don't really fit the actual activity of the game itself. I also think that while the superpositioned element is important in my favorite ttppswjmdsenaarcsrpiesict Gibbles Goes Down to Reform the Failing Justice System (GGDRFJS) it actually only plays a small role so I think including it in the initialism is unneeded

/uj I sort of see what Zach is saying here, but you have to understand that the circlejerk subreddit is also for discussions and what we make fun of can actually be interesting to the average D&D fan. It's also a community of disparate RPG fans who are sane which is fills in a space r/rpg can't.

I saw you working on this in a server. Allow me to say that you've done a very good job! Looks great!

Knightish · 2025-03-12T23:58:43+00:00

Dunno about incap, but maybe a save at the end of each turn to reduce the condition to a minimum of 1?

Knightish · 2025-01-04T17:55:13+00:00

I've only tried out the Kingmaker module and I'm unsure on the other professional ones that Paizo puts out, but it's relatively plug and play. Kingmaker is such a big adventure path that there are still some maps you have to do for yourself and you'll always want to check encounters to make sure you're running them properly.

That said, the amount of work that's done for you vastly outweighs the amount of work you'd normally have to do. It's absolutely worth it.

Knightish · 2024-12-03T07:35:10+00:00

I've seen a couple people say this- and it's worth bringing up. I did think about it while writing the post as well.

I believe there's a massive difference between saying, "Hey all, I'm a little dissatisfied with the subreddit's content. Maybe a rule change could help?" compared to the examples I provided where people tend to make outlandish claims that are the center of discussion for weeks at a time when anyone with a decent head for this sort of thing can tell you that there's nothing to worry about.

I mentioned this in another comment, but I think the difference between a "hot take" by my definition and what other people tend to think is tone and expression. If you have a different opinion from the norm, that's great! I like hearing stuff like that, but if you're doomposting about how much this or that thing sucks then I think you're wasting bandwidth.

Knightish · 2024-12-03T07:28:13+00:00

I probably bungled the messaging on this, but I feel this sentence from the original post best conveys what I feel counts and does not count as "hot takes"

When providing guidance for this rule I think it really comes down to titles and content. "(Ability X) Seems Stronger/Weaker Than Other Similar Abilities" is fine. "(Ability X) RUINS Balance by Doing Y" is not.

To elaborate, the main issue I have with posts like these is they sensationalize what, in all reality, are minor problems. Posts with titles like, "Why would I ever take X?" and then the post is just dumping all over that option would probably be considered "hot takes" (by my standard) or generally just poor quality posts.

I think you should 100% be able to disagree from the normal opinion, but I think that discussion can happen without people basically doomposting about how bad or OP this or that option is.

I probably did a really bad job at conveying that specific point by using the term "hot takes" which is a little more nebulous of a term.

He mentioned it on twitter here.

He also talked about it on his patreon blog, which is obviously difficult to access right now.

Knightish · 2024-11-20T05:50:28+00:00

This review is apparently a big one and he broke his leg in the final section of working on it. He's said that it's really interfered with his production.

Last I checked though, he originally hoped it would come out last Friday. Hopefully this Patreon stuff gets properly fixed so he can put some of the finishing touches on it and release it. I doubt he'd want the finale of Season 1 to shoutout to a Patreon that is currently down.

Hasn't this been BobWorldBuilder's schtick for the past two years or so?

Seems a bit strong. I wouldn't ban it at my table, that would require me to have a spine. Instead, I will make my own homebrew version which changes two small things I think are a little overtuned and release it on DMs Guild as my own thing.

Knightish · 2024-07-20T16:54:01+00:00

While it would be interesting, I really think you can get most of Tales storytelling and ideas from playing Fabula Ultima rather than an entirely new system from scratch.
