There are some powerful characters that players can encounter in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, as in god-like beings. These are the NPC\u2019s that, when in a person\u2019s party, can completely change the tide of a difficult battle, or at least that\u2019s what people usually think. This is what\u2019s happening to one NPC that, by all means, should be a very powerful ally going by lore implications. In practice, however, this isn\u2019t the case in the opinion of many Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players. Dame Aylin has left many a player disappointed. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are shocked by weak NPC A Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fan took to the subreddit to voice their surprise \u2013 and frustration \u2013 with how underpowered Dame Aylin is, considering her mother and background. \u201cYou\u2019re a daughter of Sel\u00fbne and you can\u2019t survive 3 turns in combat against a\u2026 wizard? Disgusting.\u201d For context, Sel\u00fbne is a powerful deity in the game, which makes people assume Aylin would have her own fair share of power. Due to Aylin\u2019s 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\u2019s Gate 3 community understand their pain, with one user saying: \u201cShe does often seem weak. With Ketheric, she spent the whole fight Charmed \u2013 attacking my guys \u2013 then after I kill him she does that ridiculous stomping like it was all her.\u201d 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\u2019s defense: \u201cIn my playthrough she did 80 dmg to Lorroakan in one hit. So yeah, I think she\u2019s good.\u201d It seems she is a glass cannon, that can do a lot of good damage but doesn\u2019t have a ton of defense. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t 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.\u201d 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players disappointed by \u201chorrendously underpowered\u201d NPC Larian StudiosThe Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is starting to realize that one of the game\u2019s seemingly-strong NPC\u2019s is much weaker than her lore and story implications would have you believe.
