Putting that aside this is good fun when playing with friends. BG3 is the closest emulation of the old school pen & paper I've seen.

I don't know if any of you read the CRPG blog thread or if you remember from old BG2.
BG2 had an extremely autistic and deep amount of spell triggers, protections, and so on. But its very complex and the base game doesn't make use of it. But mods do. There's this whole ecosystem of difficulty where the game becomes about identifying and correctly stripping protections off of high level casters so you can ace them.
All of that existed within the 3E ruleset too. Which is just another reason why it was so remarkable for it's time.

Pro tip: At some point in the game (prior to act 2), you can enter a chair in the mountain pass area to potentially cure the parasite. If you do...
get the fuck out of the chair as soon as possible if you use it at all, don't do the saving throws at all if you can help it. I tried to make some saving throws. While I won the throws, it gave me perma stat loss every time. You literally get brain damage, it's not worth it lol. I played for an hour after that until I noticed I had more negatives on saving throws than usual, then I saw the debuff

Yeah I'm totally with you on this. I'm wondering if WoTC wouldn't want an expansion because they know 5e high level play is borked. The things Larian would have to do to "fix" it would probably be substantial.
There were great ways to get around a lot of it though. Did you know Mustard Jellies had a 100% Magic Resistance, and you could polymorph into one? Imagine being a high level wizard and some guy turns into yellow slime and beats the shit out of you while you helplessly throw spells at him?
Imagine being a mighty Shadow Dragon and getting laid low by a pile of animated goop.

Success can be pretty nice though:
If you succeed on the final HUGE check, it makes all your illithid powers cost bonus actions, instead of normal actions.
The act 3 powers are pretty strong, if people are going that route too.
If Lae'zel is in your party:, she will want to go in the machine, so she can get the brain damage and your PC can still get the buff, if you pass a HUGE check on a different skill, Arcane I think.

I haven't been really been helplessly obsessed with a game like I was with the original BG games and some of the others in years, and ive always assumed its just because I grew out of it. I figured it was just one of those things you can only do when you're a kid. Nope. Apparently it wasn't me, it's just that no one has put out a game of this caliber in a loooong time.
I caught myself looking at the clock last night at 1am thinking "Man, I've got to sleep. Maybe I'll play just a few more mintutes..." Next thing I know it's 4am. Fuck. It's been 20 years since that happened.

I've literally killed ANY party member that has said something gay or isn't a dwarf so far. Adolf, Himmler, Stalin, and Napoleon - The Paladin Quadrumvirate have been inquisitioning against all gays and non dwarves.
There are times where a 4 Paladin party can be tough but it's still a blast not being able to stealth or pick lock for shit sometimes.
