The combat has ruined this game for me

I think I've given Baldur's Gate 3 a fair shake. I've played through most of Act 1 and I think the characters and writing are great. The combat on the other hand, is absolutely horrendous. Every action you ever take being influenced by a dice roll is frustrating beyond belief.Luck determines if your attack will land, how much damage it will deal, if a secondary effect will be applied, if a critical hit happens, if a buff wears off, if a debuff wears off, if a debuff applies in the first place, if you lose concentration on a spell, if you slip o . . .

Cannot beat this fight to save my life, help?

I’m at the Kethric/Myrkul fight and I am getting my ass beat. Level 8 Warlock main with Shadowheart on support, Karlach as melee, and Gale as range/distraction. .I’ve read the tips, I go free Nightsong ASAP, usually by turn 2, but she’s no help at all. I kill the skeletons, brains, and mind flayer ASAP too. .Kethric has such insane defense nothing hits him. It’s just misses all the way down. I’ve tried using rain and lightning galore but Nightsong always downs in like two turns and Shadowheart runs out of heal casts super quick. Karla . . . [More]

Pretty sure I'm screwed (Myrkul fight: First Honour mode)

Hi all, figured it wouldn't hurt to share my current experience and see if there's some way to salvage my run, though I don't see how it's possible. Worst case, I've learned for my next run. .*Note.Please refrain from you should have done X or why didn't you do Y? as it's not helpful at this moment. I'm definitely open to helpful tips for future runs, but right now I'm trying to see if there's some solution to save this file. .For example: I've played comfortably on Tactician but have never played the game through Act 2. I wanted to play Ho . . . [More]

Act2 & Act3 Spoilers with Astarion

Hi, it’s me again. You’re going to see me asking lots of things. So, I did the quest for Raphael, for Astarion’s sake and now I have to fight Cazador while we have the tadpole so we have the advantage. Except I read that I can’t go to Baldur’s Gate during act 2 and I also can’t leave the area with Halsin without possibly losing him forever and I’m not the kind of person willing to do that. Does all of this mean I have to reload a save and tell Astarion that destroying the absolute is more important? I’m so lost and confused as t . . . [More]
