The combat is fairly challenging - it’s easy for one or two bad moves (or bad luck) to kill your whole party in a battle. It also takes a bit to learn the combat system if you haven’t played D&D.

I’ve always been interested in D&D, but no never played it.

You end up with 4 different characters with different strengths and weaknesses and each with a bunch of different abilities that have different rules for when and how often you can use them.

I have played quite a few games with the party system, so I have so previous knowledge on the strengths and weaknesses of party members, which may help. Thanks for the info!

Outside the combat, how have you liked the game?

I haven’t played any Baldurs gate before, but the hype has definitely made me look into it.

Definitely seems like a game I’d like, a fantasy RPG, I haven’t always loved turned based combat, so that’s one of my hold ups. What do y’all think of the combat system?

Strategy and empire building! Total war is by far my favorite series.

Mount and blade/Bannerlord is up there too.
