Creative Roleplaying Defeats Bosses Without Combat in Baldur's Gate 3

  • The author's high Charisma paladin was able to defeat two bosses by out-drinking and verbally confusing them until they exploded, without combat.

  • These creative non-combat solutions felt very rewarding and provided a unique experience compared to typical RPG boss fights.

  • Winning the drinking games relied on the paladin's stats and roleplaying choices, validating the author's character build.

  • Defeating the toll collector by questioning her purpose and amassing gold was another highlight that leveraged the paladin's strengths.

  • Being able to resolve conflicts non-violently through roleplaying and stats, not just combat, was a standout moment showing the depth of Baldur's Gate 3.
