Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s first act can last an incredibly long time if players choose to drag out the experience. One person spent 300 hours in Act 1, then learned that some of their actions had undesirable consequences later down the line. At least they were able to move on to the next chapter. Some players have yet to leave the starting section, either because they\u2019re enjoying it too much or because they\u2019ve walked away from the game entirely. A Steam user decided to check the game\u2019s Achievements and, in so doing, realized how many people are missing out on BG3\u2019s best moments. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans shocked more players haven\u2019t finished Act 1 A BG3 player posted a screenshot on Reddit showing data tied to \u2018The Plot Thickens\u2019 Achievement on Steam. Notably, this Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Achievement is specifically awarded to those who complete the game\u2019s first act. At the time the Redditor captured their screenshot, only 49% of the game\u2019s Steam community had exited Act 1. The user captioned the photo with the following: \u201cLESS THAN HALF??? Guys come on now.\u201d Of course, it\u2019s worth noting that the 49% figure isn\u2019t representative of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Steam fan base as a whole. After all, many players probably started the RPG and don\u2019t plan on returning. Others are likely taking their time; newcomers can\u2019t be discounted, either. One newcomer explained their situation in the comments, \u201cLots of people bought the game over Christmas, sank 30 hours in, are still in Act 1, and now have no time to play (that\u2019s me, I\u2019m lots of people).\u201d Someone else said they\u2019ve logged 60 hours into Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 but have yet to exit Act 1. Several other people chimed in to say that\u2019s normal. Another person joked, \u201cRemember, if you get through Act 1 in less than a thousand hours you\u2019re rushing and have missed all the content.\u201d It\u2019ll be interesting to see how the numbers for \u2018The Plot Thickens\u2019 Achievement look in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player shocked by number of Steam users who completed Act 1 Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 player is surprised by how much of the game\u2019s Steam community has completed Act 1.
