But noone ever finishes an RPG, right?

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

Good thing I’m such a slow gamer nowadays

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

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

It’s not luck. You probably went with Halsin over Minthara. :)

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

Have you been able to progress Wyll’s storyline? Because that sounds like the “he’s broken” bug.
