My first and only dm was a huge dick

The start of the campaign village is being attacked, I picked a swordsman cus swing sword is easy probably good for a beginner

Anyways I roll a 20, DM hypes it up saying I have impeccable footwork, draw the blade from its sheath perfect, doing this epic buildup for about a minute or 2. Then he flatly says I miss my perfect swing because every enemy was 200 feet away

That was in middle school and now my GF is trying so hard to get me into Baldurs Gate and now it’s just a matter of me doing some DnD homework about classes and other stuff so I’m not going in 100% blind

Dont do any digging in bg3 mechanics or gameplay or story points until you hit a point you need to.

At least in my opinion, its nothing like that shitty DM. If bg3 was how DND games went more would play for sure.

Oh yeah I’m sure BG is nothing like that DM lol

Yeah there isnt even a difficulty that allows you to make mistakes like that. Although you can target the wrong thing by misclicking, it happens once every 20 hours of in game play lol

You don't need to do that with baldurs gate. Just dive in.

Yeah the real secret about 5.0 is that all classes are broken and OP, and the nice thing about BG3 is that they do the math for you.
