Devastating Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 bug makes essential allies incompetent in Act 2 Larian StudiosOne player has discovered the reason why Jaheira\u2019s Harpers in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are so weak, making you have to do the heavy lifting during fights. The Harpers in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are one of the allies that\u2019ll lend you a hand during various encounters in the Shadow Cursed Lands. However, despite their good intentions, sometimes NPCs just don\u2019t always make good decisions. Whether charging in alone or getting beaten up from opportunity attacks, sometimes these things are just bound to happen because they\u2019re out of your control. At best, consider yourself lucky if they don\u2019t accidentally aggro themselves after walking straight ahead to your spell. And if you think the help you\u2019ve been getting from the Harpers has felt underwhelming throughout Act 2, it turns out there\u2019s a reason for that. As shared in a Reddit thread, user NCBlizzard has unveiled how the Harpers have actually been bugged since release. According to the player, the Harpers have an issue where they\u2019re unable to use their extra attack. \u201cThis is the case because Larian has given almost every single Harper and Fist in Act 2 an invisible tag that can only be seen in the code called EXTRA_ATTACK_BLOCKED,\u201d they explained. For certain classes in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, like Fighters and Rangers, this is a big issue as they rely on and benefit from extra actions. The user also included minor bugs that they\u2019ve found, such as how one Harper has the equipment and spell of a ranger and is \u201cutterly incapable of using any magic\u201d despite being a human wizard. With many of the Harpers relying on extra attack during combat in addition to these minor bugs, it\u2019s no wonder that their \u201cperformance\u201d suffers from the impact. That said, somehow the backup or failsafe Harpers and the ones in Act 3 aren\u2019t labeled with EXTRA_ATTACK_BLOCKED, allowing them to use extra attacks. The inconsistency in these makes it seem that it could be an unintentional bug. With Patch 7 coming in September with a massive update of new evil endings, mod support, and bug fixes, players will have to rely on their party for the most part, at least for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
