Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has taken the roleplaying community by storm with its rich storyline and ability to make decisions on every aspect of the game. These features are accompanied by the ability to recruit several different companions to join the player\u2019s Tav on their journey to Baldur\u2019s Gate. Each member of the party can be controlled at any time which offers unique interactions and approaches to critical situations. However, with the ability to control all three companions comes the difficulty of traveling across certain terrains. To access part of the map players are sometimes required to jump cliffs and ledges to reach their destinations. However, this action is not always easy to complete as the player often has to make the jump for each one of their companions. This led players to urge Larian Studios on Reddit to make changes to the jumping mechanics. Jumping mechanics are players\u2019 biggest criticisms in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 A Redditor posted to the official BG3 subreddit that asked players to name their biggest criticism of the game. While many complaints were voiced there was one theme that remained constant \u2013 jumping sucks. The top comment with over 6,000 upvotes was posted by Merinwe who stated that they wished companions would follow them when their Tav jumped to different locations. \u201cAstral Plane is the worst,\u201d said one Redditor. \u201cSeveral times, I had companions get stuck, and then I\u2019d select them to get them to jump manually, only to realize I forgot to ungroup my other characters so they had all jumped back.\u201d According to other comments beneath the thread it seems like the two locations in BG3 that cause the most issues are Astral Plane and Nightsong. Although these complaints have fallen on deaf ears so far Larian Studios has not yet made any announcements to adjust the issues regarding jumping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players beg for improvements to jumping mechanics Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have one big criticism for the game\u2019s jumping mechanics when it comes to companions.
