So anons, what vidya actually does Muskets well?

...

No, the Gatling was the first, and the World Powers changed to machine guns ~1913. BUT, DoDs is about time travel.

*IIRC, I have yet to play it

...

Without earmuffs?

In Pillars of Eternity, you can set up your party as a firing line to soften up enemies before they hit melée range, use arquebuses for the full volley barrage experience. The game is a definite step down from Icewind Dale, but it's still pretty fun if you can put up with the filler trash fights.

none, muskets were ineffective garbage that were only viable with firing squads/lines

Fucking this. Everyone seems to forget about the Toronto part.
