While the three-act structure of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has been universally praised by critics and players alike, it\u2019s also widely accepted that Act 3 doesn\u2019t quite hit the same highs as the first two. At launch, Act 3 was a lot buggier than the rest of the game, and it just doesn\u2019t match the tonal consistency of Act 2 or the fantasy wonder of Act 1. And while Act 3 is full of some amazing quests to keep you entertained, like finally tracking down Cazador or infiltrating the library, there are a few that miss the mark, and one of the worst culprits is \u201cFree the Artist,\u201d which has you crawling all over the titular city to track down Oskar. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players aren\u2019t happy with \u201cFree the Artist\u201d quest One player was particularly frustrated that the picture you get at the end isn\u2019t necessarily the person who poses in the reflection, meaning their Astarion playthrough wasn\u2019t rewarded with a picture of the vampire spawn. They said: \u201cYou run around the city looking for a bunch of undead assholes, the fights are tedious and irritating, there are no map markers and your only payment \u2013 not gold, mind you \u2013 is a portrait of a randomized character with no say over who it is. \u201cI was playing an Astarion origin and I was excited to at least let him see his reflection, but nope, no dice, the picture wouldn\u2019t randomize to him despite him being the one to \u201csit for the portrait\u201d. It\u2019s such a massive step down in quality from the rest of the game \u2013 bad design, lazy programming, little to no narrative tissue.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players want simple change to fix Act 3\u2019s worst quest Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have some problems with one of Act 3\u2019s more disappointing quests, and it only takes one small change to fix most of them.
