Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players slam suspicious lack of humanoid enemies Larian StudiosThere are some spells and effects that can only affect humanoid enemies, but, as players are discovering, there aren\u2019t actually that many humanoids in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Turns out that a massive fantasy world is full of a lot of creatures that aren\u2019t human. Who knew? The Sword Coast is populated by a whole host of magical beings, and it\u2019s only natural that some of them aren\u2019t walking around on hind legs, but the game seems to be very strict about what counts as \u201chumanoid\u201d. This would be fine, except there are a bunch of spells and powerful abilities that only affect humanoid creatures. Spells like Hold Person and Dominate Person, which can come in handy for most encounters, can only be cast on humanoids, leading many players to complain that they\u2019re just not worth it. One player pointed out that Acts 1 and 2 is when you\u2019ll be fighting the most \u201cmonster\u201d type enemies, while the encounters in Act 3 are mostly humanoid. \u201cThat bugs me a bit since since the Hold Monsters spell comes much later in the game, when your run into the fewest monsters,\u201d they said. Additionally, some creatures that really look like they should be humanoid are actually something else entirely. For example, Raphael has a human form, and walks around like the rest of us. But for the purposes of gameplay, he counts as a Fiend instead. At least it\u2019s in character for him to be tricky, although why this rule applies to him and Mizora while regular teiflings are still subject to humanoid spells is anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
