@@cembaturkemikkiran4109 If you can't beat DOS2 on hard without barrels then that's on you. Turn down the difficulty if you're having too much trouble.

They shoud have at least make enemies more suspicious if you put those barrels in front of them before a fight or at least force you to put them in less visible area. But instead exploiting brainless AI is hailed as masterful strategy.

Regular games. Ok, I have all my buffs, and I drank my potions, time to fight. Larian Games. Ok, All barrels are in place, all entrance access are blocked by crates, and my party is not even in the room....

[@ICaligvla]

Despite all the people complaining about how easy it is to cheese this game, i actually love that. Games that allow you to be completely over-powered if you choose to be is great because you are expected to game the system. It adds an aspect of creativity to the game and how you beat a tough encounter is only limited by your imagination. It's fulfilling to go against the odds and still be able to come up on top no matter how ridiculous the means. And the best part is you don't even HAVE to cheese, simply play the game as you want, but if you do you don't have to feel guilty about it because creativity and thinking outside of the box is expected. TL:DR Baldurs gate 3 is an amazing game because it allows you and expects you to handle things in your own unique ways, and there are almost endless posibilities

Man its almost like player creativity and sandbox of options to play with is core of DnD... these complainers are joke lmao

[@LooneyClipse]

I cant handle all the "this game is so easy" comments. They just completely miss the point of the game and are all carbon copies. Anyways, absolutely love the sandbox they have created. Just recently discussed how it could just be possible to go full murdurhobo if one wished as most npcs CAN die. Good and evil and neutral route, plus all the ways to cheese the game and challenge runs to try. So many choices and roleplay variants, true sandbox rpg. AAAAND its gonna be out sooooo ! ❤

So, the general feel of the comments are, "this is great" and "this isn't BG3." Never played the original BG games so I can't weigh in on if it's a good successor or not. I do however love the look of this game and I can't wait to try it out for myself.

[@FlourEater]

it has the same theme, lore and enviroment, but it´s extremely different to classic BGs, not only from obvious technical point of view. It also has different set of rules, as there are literaly dice rolls happening in the background, same as with old BGs, but BG3 runs on 5th edition of DnD, while BGs were on 2nd.

[@Qaeta]

It basically feels nothing like the original BG games, and I wish they had just done their own thing rather than shoehorning the BG name onto it, but it's a fun game in it's own right, so the name thing is a minor quibble, and it's not like it's the first BG named game that I've had that issue with *side-eyes the Dark Alliance games moodily*

Actually I found all those in 3 main spots, first is in the area where the buildings are on fire, That room leading down to the Zhentahrim. After you convince the guy to let you go down, you can pick up all the barrels. The second is in the goblin hideout. It's in the room guarded by the Zhentarim merchant and friends. You can get into that room from The priestess's room, jump up into the rafters by using the boxes in that room, and you can get into the treasure room the Zhents use. the last is in the underdark, there are several in the temple. You can also find a few scattered around in random places, but those 3 spots have an abundance of them.

Lol where’d you get all the barrels

[@TwistedDark]

From a few places, there are a bunch of places that have 1-2 barrels. But there are two places that have several. At the burning Villa, after you convince the Zhentarim guy to let you into the basement, you can then pick up all the barrels in that room. Then another big cache is in the goblin outpost, again with the Zhentarim. If you go into priestesses Gut's room, you can jump up into the rafters, then drop down into Zhent's store room where there is a bunch of the powder kegs, and a couple of the fire wines. and also a chest that usually has like $1500 (roughly) also if you go into the underdark and go to the temple before you deal with the goblins then you can grab those barrels as well.
