I haven’t played any Baldur’s Gate games before but I’ve heard so much about this game that I’m going to buy it.
However, before I start, I always wonder about this: some games allow you to unlock any weapon at some point in the game, and if you miss one in some quest you can always go back. If you accidentally sell one you can buy it back or forge a new one again, or have it respawn. If you want some other class you can switch later.
Other games are not like that, and if you screw up or aren’t aware of [full in the blank] then you can’t unlock something.
What’s the story with BG3? Do I need to be careful and plan before going on missions?
I missed out on a great robe for my warlock by accidentally progressing Act 2 before completing quests. However it’s no big deal as there is a bunch of gear in the game and the combat isn’t exactly challenging anyway.
It isn’t challenging? What’s the biggest challenge then? Or what’s the point of combat if it isn’t challenging?
There are higher difficulties if you want a greater challenge. It helps if you know what you’re doing, how the game mechanics work, how to build your heroes and how to have them work together, but you can definitely get by
