Baldur’s Gate 3 players have expressed their love for “the most OP” feat in the entire game, giving their party immense advantages when initiating a battle.
With a bounty of options, players are able to take their own unique path while playing the game, really giving them the freedom a sandbox provides. Whether or not they choose to be good, evil, anoble Paladin, or acunning rogueis entirely in the hands of the player.
The same can be said for the game’s combat, which lets players pick and choose how they take on each encounter. Sometimes this means avoiding combat completely, however, when push comes to shove, Baldur’s Gate 3 players have fallen in love with the Alert feat.
BG3 players have fallen in love with the Alert feat
When starting a combat in Baldur’s Gate 3, all entities involved will need to roll for Initiative. Initiative enforces the turn order in combat, meaning it’s vitally important to have a high initiative so you can get the first strike in.
That’s where theAlert featcomes into play, as it grants a +5 bonus to Initiative, and prevents you from being surprised. This is incredibly handy for taking on opponents, as you’ll always have your say first.
“‘Alert’ must be the most OP thing ever,” oneReddit user claimed.
“It’s amazing and my favorite feat. I always pick it in regular DnD too if my character is neurotic, anxious or a scaredy-cat,”another agreed.
Otherspointed outthat since Baldur’s Gate uses a D4 to roll for initiative, a +5 bonus is all the more welcome.
“It’s even more busted in BG3 considering the initiative is done with a d4 instead of a d20.”
With a wealth of feats to choose from while playing Baldur’s Gate 3, it can almost be too much for the player to pick, fortunately, Alert is always a great option for anyone unsure.
