Kolanaki, do gaming w Baldur's Gate 3: Act 3 Bugs and Missing Content Becoming a Problem as More Players Near End

The differences in playing at launch vs after patch 1 are insane. My first time through the game, I kept thinking things were a little off and just thought it was simply weird writing that assumed too narrow of a range of player actions. Turns out half of the shit I was doing was accounted for, but the scripts or cutscenes weren’t triggering properly.

I had gotten through the entire game pretty early because of my obsessive way of gaming, and tried to bring up all the broken shit a bunch of times and was downvoted and dismissed as contrarian.

Game's a buggy as hell mess. MP with my partner has had many, many bugs. Until this patch many spells were straight up wrong in the tool tip. Unacceptable stuff, imho. Reviewers have been way too kind.

Edited to add
Played again tonight. In a fifteen minute span of playing, we had four significant bugs. First my dialogue got bugged and didn't get the speech choices (my partner did, but I was leading the conversation so that didn't matter). After a quick load that was fixed. We move to a new zone and suddenly I have a characters outlined permanently. Check settings, it's set to off. Quick load doesn't fix it, quit to menu doesn't fix it. Have to completely restart the game.

Then I listened in on one of my partner's conversations and when it was done, I was randomly stuck inside a box. Quick load later, we're going along and after climbing down a ladder my partner is teleported into a box.

Like... Honestly, I don't believe anyone who says they are playing MP bug free. This shit happens every play session for us.

Kbin_space_program,

Also playing with my partner. Spell tooltips have been completely accurate, and we've only encountered one issue, which was solved with waiting a minute and the game sorted itself out.

I mean I'm glad for you but the tool tips thing is just objective. You can even see the ones they fixed and updated in the patch notes.

As for other bugs, hope you continue being lucky. We're completely locked out of s major character's storyline because of a bug.

Just out of curiosity, which character?

And what is the bug that caused the lock out?

Wyll is completely borked. You can google wyll multiplayer for more details, other people have had the same issue. I don't want to give too much spoiler away for anyone else reading.

rich,

Yep we did a massive battle yesterday, went to long rest. Got stuck in the camp with us lying down on the floor twitching with our heads in the campfire itself. Couldn’t quit, couldn’t save, couldn’t leave the fucked camp sleep animation. Tried everything.

Had to reload and redo. Fucking bullshit.

Edit: photo I took. See. What the fuck are they doing. i.postimg.cc/bYxvsZvj/IMG20230828203550.jpg

OttoVonGoon,

I’d recommend repairing your install in case some of the bugs are caused by corrupt files. I’m doing a multiplayer runthrough with a friend and we’ve encountered minor bugs like a exclamation mark being stuck over Wyll’s head, but nothing gamebreaking.

iAmTheTot,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

Have you been able to progress Wyll's storyline? Because that sounds like the "he's broken" bug.

IMO, what is there in Acts 1 and 2 still more than justify BG3’s price tag and glowing reviews. While I wish Act 3 was more polished (and yes, the ending does feel a tad rushed and underwhelming), what is there in Act 3 is still plenty.

I’m hoping for an expansion for an Act 4 to bridge the gap between Act 3 and the ending, maybe set in the Upper City, with better outcomes for our companions. However, with all the branching choices that already exist in the game, simply the feat of having to create one more story might be a nightmare.

I haven’t made it to the end. But if its anything like KOTOR 2, its still a great game.

I dunno, maybe I’m just easy, or got lucky with bugs (not that I ran into none, but none were game breaking) the ending wasn’t great but I enjoyed it enough that it didn’t spoil the rest of the game. Now it does feel like there is missing content in the final act, and seems like they probably rushed it out at the end, but I spent 100 enjoyable hours getting there so I can’t complain too much.

However, I really really hope that either via patches or DLCs they include the missing content and the final act gets polished up to the quality of the rest of the game. Again I didn’t think it was bad, just the first two acts were amazing. i will say however one of the best parts of the game is in act 3 as well. Loved the game, almost immediately started a 2nd playthrough, and have plans for a 3rd and 4th.

Can't forget that people who don't experience big bugs are far less likely to tall about it than people that do

boke,

Great point- “I Finished Baldur’s Gate 3 and Didn’t Experience Any Bugs” is a nothingburger of a post.

    I would count “choosing the non buggy path without knowing about the bug” as luck.

    Well, not if your sidequests are bugged, no. ;)

    At this point companys really must be increasing requirements just because, aint no way something that looks like starfield needs that much ram

    whiskers,

    That’s not true. RAM usage in open world games depends on how much assets are being loaded. We’ll need an in-depth analysis to determine if it is bad optimization or not

    Mandy,

    i mean, its bethesda, yo you really expect any kind of optimization ? and at launch at that? its a sad state of affairs but alas, that is how tripl a is nowadays

    16gb isn’t really a lot of RAM nowadays, though

    Mandy,

    it totally is, im not getting old, you’re getting old

    Apeeksiht,

    I was playing elden ring last year with ram usage around 9gb to 10gb that too on 1080p

    entropicshart,

    You should try booting up Icarus - 32gb get filled up as if you’re using a floppy disk

    Transcendant,

    That link gives me a 404… do you know why it’s included internet connection in the recommended (but not required) specs?

    Kolanaki,
    !deleted6508 avatar

    It’s not a link; i was saying the Internet connection is only even mentioned because of the Bethesda.net service and access to the Steam Workshop; both are for getting mods, and Bethesda.net is also where you’d get paid cosmetics and whatnot if they have them. It’s not required to play, which is why it’s only in recommended.

    Transcendant,

    Ahh I see, thanks for the explanation.

    Same. I just bought the 2070S like... 3 years ago? 2 or 3. I thought it would let me max out games for closer to 5 years, but here we are. lol

    Transcendant,

    Some of my friends were laughing at me as the 30-series was about to release when I got the 2070s. I was the one laughing when none of them could even get a 30-series a year later, without paying scalper prices! It’s done me really well, feel like we got in just at the right time before prices went nuts and availbility dropped.

    Seems to be better now, last time I checked the prices weren’t overly-insane and there were plenty of units available.

    Knowing bethesda games, it will either run great or your physics will be from a popeye cartoon.

    For the first time in my life, my PC is overspecced for a current gen game. I really hope this is going to run well on Linux.

    I almost never preorder games anymore, but I make an exception for Bethesda Games. I managed to snag a Constellation Edition on Gamestop after the direct, but the order has been fucked up and I haven't been able to see the status for weeks. I had to call like 8 times to get the issue escalated so I could make sure I would get it and just got confirmation that my order was fixed today 😭

    This looks really cool. Monke is kinda hot ngl. I wish I was good at these games, or this one had a difficulty slider.
