Quick Diagnosis
| Problem | Check first |
|---|---|
| Combat feels brutal | Frontline, support, control, and utility coverage |
| Checks keep failing | Character choice, buffs, and preparation |
| Afraid to long rest | Rest when resources are empty; it also advances scenes |
| Cannot open locks | Bring Astarion or cover Sleight of Hand |
| Choice anxiety | Track major quest states, but do not freeze for perfection |
Common Questions
Is Shadowheart mandatory?
No, but she is beginner-friendly. Bless, healing, and recovery make early mistakes less punishing.
Will long rests ruin quests?
Some quests are time-sensitive, but many companion scenes need rests. If resources are gone, resting is usually safer than forcing another fight.
Is a failed check a ruined run?
Not always. BG3 often supports failure branches. Prepare before key checks, but do not restart every small failure.
