Brace yourself, Baldur's Gate 3 might be getting a new difficulty mode even tougher than tactician (www.vg247.com)

I love this game. Every major update seems meaningful, with patch #4 finally adding FSR 2.2 which is quite a big deal for the Steam Deck.

If they add another difficulty it adds even more replay value to the game.

Hopefully not arbitrary stat padding. The +2 to rolls made playing tanks incredibly frustrating, especially early on.

I can’t imagine how they would make it harder. The dice cheat on tactician. I platinumed it but I yelled a lot during my tactician run.

it will probably work like d:os2's honor mode. a perma death hardcore mode.

More fights would also be fun. I'm using a mod that adds some.

What mod? Is it clunky with random fights or relatively immersive?

It's pretty good, handcrafted encounters. It's named "Additional Enemies - More Encounters and Fights"

Thanks a bunch!

What kind of fights? Just random?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It's called "Additional Enemies - More Encounters and Fights". The fights fit pretty well IMO.

News difficulty will probably be a mess. Balance was already out of whack and had random unpredictable results with random stats and resistances.
