I think the biggest difference is that my brother is our DM and he’ll pull his punches if he can tell we’re getting really bad luck or frustrated.

Baldurs Gate doesn’t do that, and really shouldn’t. It’s supposed to be challenging. Ngl, having to control your entire party in combat is kinda difficult for me. I guess I’m too used to only having control of just my PC that it’s intimidating playing the other classes, especially the ones I don’t have much experience with. I also don’t have other player’s turns to plan my next turn.

Growing pains, I’m looking forward to the full release.
