I mean it looks cool, but doesn't fit with his powers at all. I could maybe see it as a gadget at best, maybe as something he picked up from the Tinkerer, but even then I'm not sure how I'd feel about it in the game.
To be fair, I don't think I've ever done alchemy in normal DnD either so.
As for other games, I think Dragon Age Origins is more or less the only game where I've really invested in making potions/poisons, and that system was still fairly limited/simple too.
Agreed it looks amazing! Hopefully they'll add more playable races along the way too. And it's a great tool for making character art if you're playing DnD too!
As for feeding the wildfire, I know, but sometimes it's good to at least call it out for what it is :)
Imagine being upset by a feature that nobody is forcing you to use. A feature that is based on something that is real, but will in no way actually impact yourself. And you could have easily just scrolled past and keep your bigotry to yourself.

Embargo lifts: 31.8
Official Release date: 6.9
1.9 is just for those who preordered so it's not like the reviews are going to effect their decision to buy or not.
Also it's spelled confident
You're mixing up the 3 year long early access PC had with the 72h early access PS5 Deluxe version gets.

1) It's a DnD inspired game, nobody claims it to be a perfect DnD substitute. No DM is the same as the other so of course a video game can't capture the same feeling. That said it does a great job translating DnD mechanics and storytelling into a game.
2) You can play it with friends, either splitscreen or online, it's not the game's fault you have no friends.
3) We get it, you don't like BG3, give it a rest already...
This is true, but considering the schenanigans Hasbro/WoC pulled earlier this year I wouldn't be surprised if Larian didn't want to continue working with them. At least in my local TRPG communities, people have heavily been shifting away from anything DnD and moving over to other games like Pathfinder.
So you're saying you're not good enough to learn the game mechanics you listed? Sucks for you. Maybe you should consider another hobby than lurking on N4G commenting "boring asf" wherever you can.
Aww you sound like you were old already back when people accused D&D of being satanic.
Keep reaching...
I still don't get what the problem with a slider would be. The "old school" people could keep playing it on as hard a setting as they want. And those who don't have the time to grind (full time job, maybe two jobs, kids etc.) would have an option to still enjoy the game. No matter how you try to phrase it, your arguments come off as gate keeping.
"If a sliders don't change anything then there is no reason to add it or not in the first place."...
"Sliders are not needed to have fun, because people have fun without them. Millions actually, yes, millions of people are doing fine without sliders. None of this is mutually exclusive and that's the point.
Answer this question: Why try to change a game that you don't like instead of playing a game that you like?"
Those millions could still keep playing just the way they have, but adding a slider would make the game more accessible to a ...
"The level grind is a part of how the game is made. People that like their games like it this way. I don't get why it should be changed. I would just play a game that I like instead of demanding games that I don't like to be changed."
But that's the thing, you can have that and have difficulty sliders, they're not mutually exclusive.
That's such a tired argument, the co-op systems in FS are unreliable and the playerbase is among the most toxic people out there. To this day I have not heard a single good argument why these games can't have difficulty options.
Okay but why should someone have to grind to level 150lvl to make the game easier, when it could be done by simply choosing a difficulty level? I get that it's not difficult to grind necessarily, but not everyone has the time to do that either. Having a difficulty setting does not take away from anyone's experience.
And absolutely agreed with accessibility options, but even those are laughably limited in even the most recent FS games.
It also proves you can have a soulslike game with different difficulty levels and it doesn't ruin the experience of anyone else.
The problem is how unreliable and outdated the sign system is, sometimes it works, a lot of the time it doesn't, and when it works there's still a high chance of getting disconnected for no apparent reason. The article points out that there is a better way of doing it.
It's clunky no matter how you look at it. Constant connection problems, no way of simply joining your friend or inviting them to a game aside from setting up a password on the summoning system. In ER sometimes the summon mark shows up, sometimes not, sometimes it shows up but nothing happens when you use it. Don't get me wrong, I love ER, it's a great game, but they're using a vastly outdated co-op system.
"I am more into VTM TTRPG, but I have been thinking about getting into some DnD 5e."
It's the other way around for me, I've been wanting to get into VTM but my friends (and me admittedly) are more DnD oriented, although we do play the occasional Call of Cthulhu or Deadlands to keep things fresh.
