I keep reading the graphics got improved for the Pro on this patch in Performance mode, maybe using new version of PSSR, can anyone confirm? not on their release notes.

Yo
I personally use the "Brawl" mod. Real-time combat in BG3 can get very frantic and overwhelming, so i toggle it on/off for select encounters.
The WASD and Camera mods are absolutely essential and i cannot play without them.
There are several other QoL and cheat mods on Nexus which make the game even more fun to play. I would say, if you're planning to start a new playthrough because of patch 8, then wait approximately 1 more week for all these mods to get updated to support patch 8.
Good point! Thanks.

There are some really nice NSFW mods for clothing stuff out there (also SFW version).Should I ever start another run I definitely going for these mods as well...yep!
But this is a game with floppy dongs and cast-from-tank-armor breasts. This is the antithesis of attractiveness.
It's fun, though. Bladesinger is my favorite class, and they definitely homebrewed the heck out of it.
"Combat's a snooze-fest"
I just don't feel that. I think it's crunchy and satisfying, and has plenty of impact. I really don't see how watching the characters auto-attack would enhance that experience. This is coming from a fan of Neverwinter Nights. I vastly prefer BG3's combat.

Luckily Baldurs Gate 3 doesn't have that much combat (no trash mobs like in Pathfinder games).

I love Pathfinder WotR combat and progression system. So many ways to develop different classes and subclasses, it's damn amazing. Especially with the higher level system they got there.
Spell casting is miles ahead what D&D (and BG3) offers, although reactivity in BG3 is far superior.

Ugh... Even FFXIV on ps3 had keyboard support. Many games now support keyboard on ps5 and they ported a pc game to PlayStation and removed the keyboard support/ui?
Are they lazy or incompetent?

well well, I think it may now be time to get into this
i have an extra day per week off work for the next 3 weeks, hoping 60 hours ish is enough for a playthroug.. What build is the most OP to blast through the game as quickly as possible?

60 hours? If you REALLY rush, probably, HowLongToBeat has the main game at 72 hours, which ignores all the side content, so you'd really have to book it, but honestly you're doing the game a disservice that way, so many of the side quests and the party member arcs that connect to some of them really make the game slap.
But if you just want to focus mostly on combat and just do a playthrough (you could always explore the side quests in a second playthrough in the future if you're inclined), Barbarian or Warlock would be good choices for your MC as they're not overly complicated (Barbarian is mostly Rage-boosting and straight up physical attacks, and Warlock mostly uses the Eldritch Blast spell, a strong cantrip which means he doesn't run out of uses of it ever, and the Warlock only has a limited amount of full spells, meaning they had limited amounts of use before your character needs to rest to recover the spell slots needed to use them again, to use).
Mind you, you still need to learn the classes of the party members you chose to take with you as you gain them, but for starting off, those two classes are good choices for your main character.

Honestly, don't jump into the game unless you have around 100 to 150 hours to dedicate. Trying to squeeze it into just 60 hours means you'll miss out on so much of what the game really offers. To truly appreciate the intricacies, story arcs, and subtle details, you need time to explore at your own pace and let everything unfold naturally. Otherwise, you risk glossing over the moments that make the experience truly memorable and rewarding.

Warlock and easiest difficulty, if you're just playing for the story.

What about Bard?
It feels like the Bard class gives you so many tools to handle situations smoothly, making complex problems almost too easy to overcome

I think you would do the game and yourself a great disservice by trying to beat it within a set amount of hours.
One of the best and most unique parts of the game is falling into a "side quest rabbit hole" and just roll with it.
My playthrough clocked in at ~350 hours which was pretty crazy.
I don't think most people played for that long but even with that amount of hours I sorta rushed past a lot of content in Act 3 because my playtime was getting ridiculous.
I also think it might be pretty hard to rush through the main campaign because battles can be brutal, especially if you're underleveled.
I guess you could rush the whole thing pretty easy with all the mods now but I don't think it would be very fun.

The game isn't particularly challenging even at its hardest setting.
Easiest difficulty is borderline retarded. The amount of bonus you get basically destroys the entire ruleset making any failure virtually impossible.

Yeah, anything will work on easiest. Warlock is simply a gun: point and shoot.

Incredible game and was so fun following since the start, with the Panel from Hells and EA.
I have between 2/300 hours i think from EA and one playthrough as Paladin.
I've seen so many other peoples playthroughs etc i doubt i will do another one though unless i can get a friend to co-op.
I will be there day 1 for Larians next game.

So basically nothing.
Skill issue, as the kids love to say days.
