What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial? (beehaw.org)

Either it didn't teach you anything at all, or it taught you the most irrelevant parts of the game.

There are actually plenty tutorials, but because of the open exploring aspect, players aren't visiting those tutorial spots that the dev anticipated. They nudge you a bit using the enemy levels, but it should have covered more during the prologue.

    I politely disagree. Baldur's Gate III teaches you absolutely nothing about its rules and systems. You are expected to discover the rules and systems on your own. Things like crowd control, the actual numerical advantages of height, and repositioning while in dialog are never explained.

    It is the most frustrating aspect of Larian games, imo.

    I'm a few hours in and I don't know what you mean? Do you mean being able to switch to a different character in a dialog? If so I'd love to know how to do that. I hate starting dialogue where I need charisma with my low charisma character

    Well, no. I mean using other characters while one is in a conversation. During conversations, there are some buttons in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. One of those will allow you to swap to another character. You will then be able to do whatever you wish with those characters while the original character is in their conversation.

    If you wish to use a different character for a conversation, you can simply start the conversation with the given character.
