Baldur’s Gate 3 has already sold over 5.2 million units on Steam alone, not counting GOG, according to the Belgian Embassy.
Yes, it’s certainly not bug free, there are bugs that need to be fixed. Worst persistent one I’ve had is that a Warlock 4/Sorcerer 8 multiclass I have always tries to upcast all warlock spells (like Hex or Misty Step) with their highest level slot, which are Sorcerer spell slots. Very annoying and not worth.
That said, I would not discourage anyone from getting this game on the basis that it has some bugs. I doubt most new players would know how deal with multiclassing bugs, and probably would be multiclassing in the first place.
No big software project can ever be fully free of bugs. Apparently it’s not all jank all the time.
My experience has been pretty jank most of the time. Visual and dialogue bugs every play session. And one major NPC’s storyline is completely softlocked.
very weird, I have around 50h playtime and encountered zero bugs. hope a future patch unlocks you
