Most Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players still haven\u2019t finished a single playthrough Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 has celebrated its first anniversary, achieving unprecedented acclaim and millions of sales. Despite this, plenty of people have never seen any of the game\u2019s endings and are still wandering around the Forgotten Realms. It\u2019s common for interest in a video game to die down after a few months if not weeks. This is par for the course for single-player games, while it means death for live-service and multiplayer titles. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 hasn\u2019t seen a slowdown in interest despite being around for a year. If anything, the fandom has only grown more rabid, tearing the game apart for secrets and experimenting with all kinds of unusual character builds. Despite the game\u2019s overwhelming popularity, a surprising number of players have never actually completed Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. A thread on the BG3 Reddit discusses that only 22.2% of Steam players have finished the story. \u201cI have friends who have played 10 playthroughs\u2026..to Act II,\u201d one user wrote, while another said, \u201cI hear a lot of folks also get stuck on the character creation level.\u201d The length of the final Act also has something to do with it. \u201cYeah, I was surprised by this but also not;\u201d one player explained, \u201cAct III is a beast and I always end up abandoning a playthrough then and starting a new one. That said, it does feel good to finish the entire game at least once!\u201d \u201cI\u2019m literally at the last battle but I can\u2019t bring up the courage to actually finish my game yet,\u201d one player lamented, \u201cI feel like it\u2019s ending and that hurts my feelings.\u201d It\u2019s not just the ending that lots of players haven\u2019t seen, as nearly 10% of people haven\u2019t even escaped the Nautiloid. Some people just can\u2019t bring themselves to finish building a character. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is a massive game, one that involves a huge time investment to complete. The reason the low completion number is surprising is due to how dedicated the fans are to the game\u2019s characters and stories, despite never experiencing the whole thing for themselves. Then again, maybe it\u2019s just Act I and II they\u2019re in love with. The city of Baldur\u2019s Gate has a way of causing people to lose themselves on its streets, to the point where fans would rather hit the \u201cNew Game\u201d button than make it to the credits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
