[Fresch_K]

Bard tops the list for me. The amount of bosses in act 2 I could convince to kill themselves was staggering

[AlgorithmMockery]

I think it’s great that I’ve yet to see anyone do a list that’s the same. Strong indication Larian did a great job

[failedJedi]

Only half way through act two and as a bard I was able to get a group of fish people to warship me as a god and a torturer to willingly let himself be stabbed to death by his assistants. This was supposed to be a throw away character I played before mods came out and I’m having the time of my life.

[ocean]

I can't make it out of act1, i play a few hours and go "this is good but you know what would be cooler", make a new character and start over and over and over... send help.

[nicholasp]

Paladin is indeed unparalleled in single target burst damage for BG3. I’ve single shotted many bosses in my playthrough and it was downright hilarious!

[TheNzFox]

The thing that really surprised me with this game is the magical items, they are absolute insane for a 1-12 level adventure, some of them would be considered overpowered in a epic 20+ campaign. I don't necessarily dislike it as it gives you a lot of options to build interesting and fun characters, but the power spike around the start of act 2 is less a spike and more a vertical wall.

[skaldrgaming]

One somewhat nice thing about Druid is that if you multiclass with barbarian, raging before entering animal form will maintain the rage bonuses!

[AegisAegus]

My first playthrough was a red dragon bloodline sorcerer, full blaster with fire magic. By the end of the campaign I felt absolutely unstoppable, and it felt amazing just being this force of nature in combat and conversations.

[LeiKultur]

Warlock with pushback on Eldricht blast is such a cheese I love it.

[KaitoGillscale]

Friend of mine told me I should play a bard because of the dialogue and it’s been an absolute blast. Loving all the Bard specific dialogue, and eager to go back as another class to see what else they’ve got

[thedanish]

I chose Battlemaster for Lae'zel and she's super fun to pilot. Such a fun subclass

[Tuskor]

My current character in my first playthrough is a Druid and I went Circle of the Land, and it's honestly felt like a powerhouse spellcaster. The toolkit of a Land Druid is amazing, your subclass features allow you to pick up spells like Web, Misty Step, Cone of Cold, Stinking Cloud, and with their base spellbook having such amazing spells like Heat Metal, Spike Growth, the Guidance and Thorn Whip cantrips, Entangle, Hold Person, Moonbeam, Call Lightning, Plant Growth, Sleet Storm, Ice Storm, Grasping Vine, Polymorph, Insect Plague, so on. The Land Druid has such a powerful lineup of AoE, and still gets to shapeshift as well. Perhaps this is a matter of perspective since I haven't personally had the opportunity to play Dungeons and Dragons, and Baldur's Gate 3 is the first time I've dipped my toes into it, but the limitations on wildshapes feels like a strange reason to put Druid so low.

[yisun-sin]

I always play as monk, ever since I finished Baldurs gate 1 around 20-23 years ago. Monks were different back then, earning soo many resistances that at some point you are immune to almost everything and very hard to hit. I am currently playing monk again in Baldurs gate 3, I am fairly satisfied with how they made the class. It is balanced, not so many resistances but lots of punches :D also some very nice dialogue options as a monk.

[roggonval]

Now u have to do an ranking about romance options

[thebarbaryghostsf]

I picked a Bard, for a couple reasons. First, I never usually play a Bard. Another, I heard there was no Bard NPC companion in the main campaign! And Bards tend to have really fun dialog options. Also I love that you can play a song during combat, while everyone else takes their turns.

[craigsovilla]

I'm roleplaying as a former soldier turned Paladin and it is a lot of fun getting into your own head canon and essentially making your own background. This game really is DnD brought to life.

[hiei]

Right as I am going into my 2nd run!

Impeccable timing as always Mort.

[alexw]

The charisma classes all feel really strong, multiclass with each other well, and get great options for dealing with every situation. I particularly enjoy sword bard. Slashing floursish is great for damage at melee or range and you get quite a lot of uses per short rest. Lots of ways to control the battlefield with spells, knock enemies off cliffs, ect. Or you can just talk your way through a ton of the game with great interactions.

[SteveRowe]

One of the coolest things about BG3: Every class, from bottom to top was "fun to play".

[alexblades]

Been loving the wood elf open hand monk with tavern brawler

Wood elf brings 2 extra skills, more movement, darkvision and turns longswords into a monk weapon

Boosting Str to 18 with tavern brawler is amazing on monk especially open hand monk with their added passive damage at higher levels
