Prophet of the Dumpsterfire
They are not boring, they are pieces in a chess set and have a functionality as such. Would you say rooks are boring because they can't move around as much as the queen? This magnifying glass-like treatment of the classes is one of the reasons PoE is such a mind-numbing chaos. Besides, I'd say only single-class Fighters have really nothing to do in BG because they have no special properties. Rangers and Paladins eventually get access to the Druid and Cleric spell list respectively, Thieves require special micromanagement to get the most out of their backstabs. Ranged characters have access to all kinds of arrows that need to be taken care of to maximize their effectiveness, etc. They just aren't as busy as their PoE1 equivalents. Ironically enough, this progression is what makes each class individually stand out more and have a gameplay niche.
You really need to play the entire BG saga with SCS.
Rangers and paladins getting access to druid and cleric spells is p. boring honestly. I liked Paladin inquisitor better, now that was fun.
