    Agreed. It’s the most direct translation of the actual mechanics and gameplay of D&D to a game ever made and somehow also the most fun.

    Hm, now I want a mod for NWN 2 that makes it actually play like a turn-based game to see if that’s fun. 5e is probably still more fun than 3.5, but with all the math automated away it could be close.

      I forget, do the pathfinder games use v1 or v2? V1 was basically D&D 3.5 in most ways.

      Either way, if you haven’t played it, you should put Pathfinder Kingmaker on deck for after BG3

        They’re both based on PF 1e. Looking at the wiki page, I didn’t realize they were optionally played in turn-based mode.

        Guess I’ll have to play em.

        I used to GM PF 1e without opening the rulebook because I had those rules down cold from all the years of playing 3.5 before Pathfinder came out.
