BG3 started my current run of CRPGs, but I was already familiar with Larian and D:OS. I played through the first one and about halfway through the second when it originally came out. I didn't remember Beast at all, so I got no idea what his default build is. However, for some reason back then I also decided to completely ignore the origin companions, because I didn't want to deal with their personal quests, and just roll with a party of four custom characters, so maybe I just never met him.
I'm not using the Summoner changes from the gift pack and haven't looked too much into builds or min-maxing, just some basics. At first I wanted to go Summoner / Necromancy, so maybe I can have more minions, but I guess you can have only one "real" minion active at a time, so I got away from that (also Necro wants Warfare I guess, so that's out anyway).
Unlike BG3 DOS2 is undeniably better playing as an origin character. They tell you their default classes when you recruit them for first time. Larian games are easy enough that you don't have to min max at all, just do what you like and you'll have a smooth time regardless of difficultly
Including BG3? Because there have been a lot of challenging fights so far. And I only got a handful of hours into D:OS 1, but I remember hitting a pretty difficult fight there as well.
Yeah including both. If you've ran them before and you know the systems they're surprisingly simple. If you want a REALLY really easy time with DOS2 just go two Lone Wolf and you'll clear half the enemies before they can sneeze. If you're going into them 100% blind I can see tactician being tricky though yeah
Oh what you were singling out BG3, yeah this one is the easiest by far out of the three including the two DOS
Well, it may surprise you to find out that plenty of us don't find these games to be easy if BG3 is the easiest one. One friend of mine bumped it down to narrative, and the rest of us are finding plenty of challenge on balanced.
