Is BG3 worth playing if I wouldn't like the combat?
Posted On: August 5, 2025

I prefer games to have as little luck involved in possible, I want everything to be within the player's control. Mechanics like hit chance and random critical hits are annoying to me. Are the other aspects of the game, like the writing and roleplaying, good enough to make it worth playing despite the fact that I will not enjoy the combat? Should I just pass on this one and stay within my greener pastures?


Question from user throwawayimgonnakms1 at BaldursGate3 at reddit.com.


Answer:

I mean, probably not? Like, the combat is great, but if you inherently hate the chance of failing ever due to luck, no?
