Baldur’s Gate 3 takes into account numerous decisions made by the player throughout the storyline. However, certain crucial elements of character creation, such as class, do not have a significant impact.
In both D&D and Baldur’s Gate 3, selecting a class is crucial in determining the range of skills and abilities for your character. It requires significant time and effort to become proficient enough in your chosen class to embark on the perilous journey of an adventurer.
However, Baldur’s Gate 3 does not place as much emphasis on class selection compared to other player choices. As a result, users on the Baldur’s Gate 3 Reddit have expressed disappointment, noting the absence of exclusive dialogue or content related to their chosen character.
Even Clerics of specific gods miss out on exclusive dialogue
A user expressed their disappointment with the lack of unique dialogue and encounters in the Myconid colony for their Spore Druid character. They expected this section of the game to have some added flavor for that specific subclass.
“They stated, “I wasn’t anticipating a fully hidden questline or anything, but a small addition to make it more distinctive wouldn’t have hurt. Has anyone else experienced this or something comparable?”
“One user expressed, ‘I felt the same as a Lathander cleric entering Rosymorn monastery… why was I not affected at all by the sight of my order’s monastery being destroyed and its people slaughtered by gith?’ Another user shared, ‘I had a similar experience, playing as a spore druid in my first playthrough. I was expecting to have a unique interaction with them, but sadly, that was not the case.’
It is particularly disheartening as these missed opportunities are quite evident. The most well-known instance is the failure to acknowledge the significance of playing a Tiefling Druid in Act I. This character is perfectly suited to resolve the conflict between the major factions, yet it goes unnoticed by everyone.
Despite a few oversights, it’s difficult to criticize the developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 because of the abundance of content they have provided. Players seeking more reactivity can easily rely on mods to properly showcase their Spore Druid’s expertise in mushrooms.
