Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players wish NPCs would stop walking into obvious death traps Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 is undeniably a very smart game, but not every NPC that populates the game has that same intelligence. There\u2019s a lot going on behind the scenes in a game like Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Not only is it calculating all the different decisions the player is making, it\u2019s also making sure that all the different mechanics and systems are working together, which is what gives the game its infamous flexibility.

If you\u2019ve been a bit creative with what Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 allows you to do, you may have noticed that NPCs don\u2019t necessarily always notice when you surround them with explosive barrels and large spikes. Now, this works fine for people you want to die, but what if they\u2019re allies?

After exiting a cutscene with the NPC, he immediately runs into some unfortunately placed spikes that were summoned by the player\u2019s Blade Barrier spell, killing him instantly. This prompts Jaheira to scold the player and threaten to kill them. While this again shows how many situations the game has unique dialogue for, it\u2019s definitely not what you want to happen during a rescue operation. Here\u2019s hoping the player saved recently.
