It’s not having honor if you don’t do it yourself…

They should have just delayed the game until early next year, at least they are working on it fast though I guess.

Yeah I got 300 hours and the game starts to fall apart in act 2 and shits the bed in act 3, bugs and loads of inconsistencies. I have never crashed either. The fact they are not just fixing bugs but adding to the story shows that there was a lot missing and the amount of QoL features that should have existed from the start is insane. Their scope was a bit too big imo and they should have kept it a shorter but more polished game.
It’s a shame because the start of the game was fantastic. Like I said though, they are working through it which is good, but doesn’t change the fact I bought an early access game that wasn’t labelled as such.

I’m always curious about these crashes and bugs people are talking about.

I’m on my fourth complete playthrough with just short of 700 hours played and have not had any crashes that weren’t my own fault. I used the unlimited carry weight mod on a playthrough. Turns out if you select the throw option when you have 1000 items in your inventory the game doesn’t like that.

Other than that my experience has had no gameplay issues or bugs. The only complaint I’ve had is some characters don’t have any dialogue referencing things that occurred in the game that they absolutely SHOULD have something to say about. Sounds like this patch might just fix that issue.

I can only assume that you never touched co-op, or started playing in the last week, because that absolutely was not the launch experience for me and many others.

It is much better now, but it’s clear it was rushed out with a few months of development still to go. Which allegedly they did because they were worried about Starfield.

Even broken it’s probably the GOTY, but it did make certain things a lot more frustrating than they should have been and we spent a lot of time doing saves and waiting for the save to finish before continuing such was the prevalence of crashes to PS5 desktop. There was more than one fight we had to do from scratch because the following cutscene shat the bed.

Having played co-op on launch week, I didn’t really see many problems. There was a glitch here or there in act 3, but much less than anyone could expect from a game of this size. I never had to reload any saves, and the game never crashed. The only obvious glitches were certain events happening out of order or not happening when they were supposed to. Apart from that, certain class abilities and features didn’t always work correctly, but every cRPG ever released has had those, and has them to this day.

Other developers have already voiced their opinions on Baldur’s Gate 3. And it’s been “Oh no! Baldur’s Gate 3 is ruining the expectations of gamers about what a game is.”

Meanwhile most people playing BG3 have been saying “Finally, some good fucking food.”

Im still trying to download the last update 😭

I played a bit this morning. Accidentally broke my paladin’s oath while trying to get more info from a bad guy I was planning to kill.

Killed them instantly after the conversation, but that conversation broke the oath. Shouldn’t have bothered either. Didn’t get anything new.

And now I won’t be able to savescum/press on until tomorrow at the earliest due to download speeds. I’m also on linux, so I might have to wait even longer if this patch breaks things again.

And I had a few mods…

So maybe this time next week?

If I’m honest, I’ve not been able to play it… at all.

Mostly because the updates are multi gig downloads and I never leave my computer in an idle long enough to actually download them lol

But that sounds rough, I hope you’re able to salvage your Paladin’s reputation soon!

To download the game in the first place, I had to leave my laptop running overnight. Twice.

It was rough.

As to my paladin… I’m torn. I hard saved as soon as I figured out that I had broken my oath, but I have a soft save just before it happened.

I might just press on.

I’m also playing this run as a “no illithiad powers” run. No mind control, no eating tadpoles. I’ll see how long that lasts.

Am on Fedora and have no issues playing on this new patch if that helps.

It does.

Granted, the fix for the last patch was pretty simple. Just delete a single file and it works.

Steam might redownload that file, but who knows…

The joy of trying to run a windows only game on linux.

I’m glad I made sure to do a hard save before each important story moment, I have one right before the last boss dies so I should be able to jump right into the epilogue!
