While the players like the challenge of any fight, the rewards also need to be something good. Otherwise, there is no incentive for players to fight the enemy. Players don’t want developers to remove it but want other players to avoid it as much as possible.

Larian Studios has been clear that it wants to showcase all the possibilities of the choices. If players make the wrong decisions in their playthrough, it will lead to bad encounters and skip some of the stories because the characters are dead or don’t like them.

The game also offers various boss fights and unexpected enemies if conditions aren’t met. Players can even find themselves against characters who were allies in the previous act.

This way studio wants players to think about every choice and create an experience completely unique to them, making the replayability of the game even more enjoyable.
