Baldur's Gate 3 Playable Regardless of Skill
Baldur's Gate 3 will be a game for everyone. Both for those focusing on the storyline and those enjoying challenging skirmishes. Which of the game's three available difficulty levels will you choose?
In these rather stressful times, a good number of people dream of relaxing for a moment with their favorite game after a hard day. To be ableto complete levels stress free and delve into an interesting storyline. There are also those who want to give vent to their emotions in a challenging duel.
It seems that both of these groups will find something for themselves in Baldur's Gate 3. And although the work of Larian Studios did not offer difficulty levels in early access, they will be added with the release of the full version of the game.
According to the information provided by the developers, in addition to the default balanced difficulty level, two more alternatives will be put into the hands of players: the Explorer mode and the Tactical mode. Below you can get acquainted with their general characteristics.
- Explorer mode - The easiest of the available levels. It is focused primarily on the storyline. In this mode, friendly NPCs are harder to kill, traders offer an additional 20% discount, and our characters receive a +2 proficiency bonus from the start.
- Balanced Mode - This is the deafault difficulty level. It is meant to provide players with a good mix of difficult combat and opportunities to explore the storyline. This means that we will still have to think tactically, but not worry about overly powerful enemies.
- Tactical Mode - the most challenging level in the game and an ideal choice for anyone looking for a real challenge. The mode will not only increase the stats of our opponents, but also their numbers, skill set and intelligence. The environment will also be affected by the changes. Exploding barrels or other elements will appear in some places, which opponents will gladly use against our party.
Developers of Baldur's Gate 3 recommend thinking carefully about the choice of difficulty level, as even RPG veterans may regret having set their sights on the highest one too eagerly.
"You must use every possible advantage you can find, otherwise you will be massacred. I know you're all clever, and I know you'll start the game in Tactical mode because you'll think you can do it. And then you'll start crying and complaining that it's the game's fault. No, it's your fault!," warned producer Sven Vincke (via PCGamesN).
Full version of Baldur's Gate 3 will be released on August 3 on PC. PlayStation 5 console owners will have to wait until September 6.
