'You're gonna start playing on Tactician because 'you can handle it,' then you're going to start crying, you're going to say our game is bad⁠—it's not our fault! It's you!'

preview of Baldur's Gate 3, Larian revealed the details of the game's highest difficulty, Tactician. In addition to reprising features of the mode from Divinity: Original Sin 2 like increased enemy stats and more aggressive AI, Tactician will also include bespoke additions to many of the game's combat encounters in order to tip the scales for your enemies.

To demonstrate, the Panel From Hell presenters went through the same combat encounter once on"Balanced" difficulty, and once on Tactician. On Balanced, a duo of Monks was able to get the better of a gaggle of goblins strewn throughout the town. The player characters had one KO, but otherwise took care of the fight pretty handily.

Enemies may prioritize squishy casters and ignore your tanks, or avoid your traps instead of rushing through them⁠—Holland and Larian creative director Swen Vincke went in depth discussing how certain enemies would aggressively target your casters when they try to maintain multi-turn"concentration" spells.
