Pathfinder WotR had too much combat for me. There is the usual combat that BG3 has then on top of that you have do another set of those when your forces advance. My last remaining neuron cannot handle all that. I am playing BG3 on the easiest difficult and save scumming the hell out of it and having a nice time. Might buy it on PS5 depending on how good Act 3 is.
If it helps, you can make the battle spam trivial by playing in "Story" mode. It makes most fights breeze by enough where you can just enjoy the story and ignore the battles for the most part.
You can also turn the crusade minigame entirely off in the starting options, which in your case I'd definitely recommend.
Jesus Christ I had no idea
I kind of wish I did in my first playthrough; I appreciate the ambition of putting it in there but I didn't really enjoy it compared to the rest of the game.
i'm guessing it actually works now? i remember when it came out if you chose that the ai would absolutely fuck you over in the crusade mode. i just got a save editor and added like 1000 dragons into my army
My current playthrough kept it on just to experience it, but I personally think that may have been a mistake because I find the crusade's day to day operation an annoying distraction.
I really like the Pathfinder games and I think they tried something different and interesting with the crusade/kingdom systems but at the same time I feel these systems mostly dont improve the game by much. Which is a shame because im sure the devs spend a lot of time on these systems in otherwise amazing games.
It does work now, but you lose out on some story stuff if you're completionist. Steam workshop also has a mod to just auto-win every crusade battle.
Oh sick, that's good to know. Thank you!
