Baldur’s Gate 3 players disappointed by “horrendously underpowered” NPC
Larian StudiosThe Baldur’s Gate 3 is starting to realize that one of the game’s seemingly-strong NPC’s is much weaker than her lore and story implications would have you believe.
There are some powerful characters that players can encounter in Baldur’s Gate 3, as in god-like beings.
These are the NPC’s that, when in a person’s party, can completely change the tide of a difficult battle, or at least that’s what people usually think.
This is what’s happening to one NPC that, by all means, should be a very powerful ally going by lore implications. In practice, however, this isn’t the case in the opinion of many Baldur’s Gate 3 players. Dame Aylin has left many a player disappointed.
Baldur’s Gate 3 players are shocked by weak NPC
Larian StudiosA Baldur’s Gate 3 fan took to the subreddit to voice their surprise – and frustration – with how underpowered Dame Aylin is, considering her mother and background.
“You’re a daughter of Selûne and you can’t survive 3 turns in combat against a… wizard? Disgusting.”
For context, Selûne is a powerful deity in the game, which makes people assume Aylin would have her own fair share of power.
Due to Aylin’s lack of power, the player had to lower the difficulty to get through a fight with her in their party.
Many others in the Baldur’s Gate 3 community understand their pain, with one user saying: “She does often seem weak. With Ketheric, she spent the whole fight Charmed – attacking my guys – then after I kill him she does that ridiculous stomping like it was all her.”
One person pointed out that Aylin is quick to be disarmed in battles, and she is unable to pick it back up because she is only controlled by the computer. However, there are some players who came to Aylin’s defense:
“In my playthrough she did 80 dmg to Lorroakan in one hit. So yeah, I think she’s good.”
It seems she is a glass cannon, that can do a lot of good damage but doesn’t have a ton of defense.
“She doesn’t have much hp but she hits really hard. She one-round soloed phase 1 Ketheric in my current playthrough with an assist from Shart casting Slash the Weak. I was shocked at how fast it happened.”
It seems Aylin is somewhat of a personal preference, where some players are fine with what she provides, while others are less than impressed with her power.
