I'm in the middle of an "Oops All Clerics" playthrough. Highly recommend. I have Light, Life, Tempest, and War. War is probably the weakest of the bunch but she's good for holding concentration buffs. Throw on bless and Phalar Aluve Sing and you'll never lose concentration on anything.
All of my ability checks get guidance and advantage.
This party is stupidly OP. The shadow cursed lands were a cakewalk, and I steamrolled Cazador without really trying. Hasted Tempest cleric pumps out obscene amounts of damage.
Light has access to fireball, wall of fire, and their Chanel divinity is a nuclear bomb with a huge range.
Life can almost bring a completely dead party back to full health.
And the Chanel divinities restore after a short rest, so I can deal with three moderate fights and maybe even a boss before I need a long rest.
I think Cleric might be my favorite class.
But they already crossed that line. There's tons of shit from 5E that aren't in BG3 and lots of mechanics work differently. You don't need a rope to climb, you don't need to find and secure and area to rest, there are no hit die. Shit, Cleric is missing like 7 entire domains.
So what if they exclude a couple impossible to balance spells?
The flaming fist can see you steal things from like six buildings away.
When I fought Gortash the first time (I didn't do the foundry) his steel watchers kept kicking my ass. "Ah ha!" I thought, "I'll close the door and cast Arcane Lock on it to keep them out and trivialize this fight!". The watchers teleported next to gortash as soon as the fighting began and wiped the floor with me.
During the Ketheric fight, Ketheric decided he... Just had enough? I guess? He went to stand in the center of the platform and fucked off for five entire rounds while I killed everyone else and started phase 3.
Inventory management is impossible with a controller.
I play on a Steam Deck and while the game runs amazingly in Acts 1 and 2, the instant you set foot in Rivington you're lucky if you can get 20 fps. And I hear its the same on a PC?
Speaking of Act 3, the entire act is awful. Acts 1 and 2 were incredible and then the whole thing just falls apart. The pacing is all wrong, and you pretty much forget the absolute entirely. Someone else said they stopped playing after moonrise and ended their game, and honestly I like that idea more every day.
Felogyrs Fireworks. That's all I need to say.
You need to loot literally everything or you'll miss critical items, and the loot overwhelmingly sucks ass. Oh boy! Another rotten tampon I can sell for 1g!
Potion tooltips are less than useless, especially on the crafting screen (oh man don't get me started there). What does this potion do? No idea! But at least you know it tastes like Troll cum!
I really do love this game, but a lot of parts of the game are just steaming piles of shit. I also don't believe it deserved all the awards it got, and it's kind of amazing it did.
Astarion doesn't know anything about ascension until
Spoiler
he shows up at Cazador's palace.
Gale doesn't talk about godhood until
Spoiler
He sees the nethercrown at the end of Act 2
The other two are right from the beginning though, yeah.

I just don't want a dongle. I'm not willing to buy one, I'm not willing to keep track one one, and I'll never have it when it need it. I'm not willing to charge wireless earbuds, and they're going to get lost after 2-3 uses anyway.
Just give me a fucking 3.5mm jack and be done with it.

Not all violent crime is gun violence.
You used to have 20,000 violent crimes a year, 500 of which were violent gun crimes. Now you have 5000 violent crimes a year and they're mostly gun violence, then violent crime would be at an all time low while gun violence was at an all time high.
I'm completely making this up, but that's how I read it.
What do you have against Taoism?
Two things:
- Separation of Church and State is not codified into law
And
- 1A specifically says "Congress shall pass no law respecting any religion". They'll say this law was passed by a state, not congress. Ipso facto, they rule in his favor.
