How much 5e do you have to know to enjoy Balders Gate 3?

I mean, the title is mostly it. I haven’t played DnD for…long enough that I know none of the rules and few of the classes. I didn’t play BG or BG2.

It looks so shiny, but I’m afraid I would just be 100% lost. Can anyone say what it’s like to go in cold?

At least on pc over over the option and it will show what your roll will be.

Can't see the DC till to late but that's a normal rpttrpg thing

Ahhh ok. I'm using a controller at the moment for accessibility reasons, but I'll definitely look into doing that when I can again! Maybe it'll show if I just idle a couple seconds over the selection

Press the left stick during dialogue choices and a little window will tell you what stats are used and if you get any boni on the rolls.

It's possible to view on the controller as well. I think one of the bumpers maybe? I don't remember exactly sorry but it's definitely possible!

Right on 🤙🏻 I figured there had to be with how accessible the controller options truly are - I haven't been able to check since my initial response. I should get to relatively soon though! Option on the controller is: select --> enable help tools
