There are a staggering number of character builds available in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, some of which can drastically change your run. This is a terrible thing for people who struggle to make decisions, as it\u2019s tempting to keep giving up early on and start a brand-new adventure. These issues aren\u2019t helped by a problem that crops up in Act III, when you finally reach the city of Baldur\u2019s Gate, and the remaining story finally reaches its conclusion. A thread on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit explains why people struggle to complete the game. This is due to Act III being far too open and giving you lots of quests in a central location. The sheer number of tasks the game drops on you causes player burnout, where they\u2019d rather start over than continue on. One user wrote, \u201cAct 3 has you going from an absolutely insane buildup and boss battle with Ketheric into a sprawling city with what feels like an endless list of chores you have to do before you can continue onto the final boss. I still haven\u2019t finished it.\u201d \u201cFirst playthrough. Kind of stuck in act 3 and don\u2019t know what to do,\u201d another user added, \u201cIt makes me not wanna play the game. There are moments where I am like I wanna play but every time I start the game and load into act 3 I\u2019m like\u2026nah\u2026I\u2019m lost and really wanna start again, but I do want to finish the game once.\u201d One reason for the burnout is that it\u2019s really easy to hit Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s max level cap in the early stages of Act III. This means that your characters stop progressing, so all you\u2019ll be doing to improve your characters is finding magic items, and that\u2019s nowhere near as satisfying. Not everyone hates Act III of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, as it has its supporters. It\u2019s just a huge stumbling block for a lot of people, who\u2019d rather go back and escape from the Nautiloid for the umpteenth time than actually stop the main villain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 \u2018s biggest problem stops players from finishing the game Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 has one major issue in its final chapter that\u2019s stopping players from completing the game despite the many hours of progress it takes to reach that point.
