baldur's gate 3
i just learned there was an entire quest line with that giant red guy in shar's temple. i didn't realize it wasn't immediately hostile and just fought it and the bazillion grunts around it and it was a FUCKED battle to do when you're only level 7 on tactician
re: baldur's gate 3
me: the game is ultimately combat-focused, and I would prefer if there were more situations where non-combative solutions are possible
also me: fights unknown NPCs on sight
re: baldur's gate 3
to be fair, the game had sort of established a gameplay loop where the non-combat options occur in cities/villages and the rest of the map is combat so i was not expecting to find an extensive quest with a threatening-looking demon thing out in the middle of some ancient temple
