Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are calling its buggy final act \u201ca disaster\u201d Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 has earned every bit of the near-unanimous praise it\u2019s gotten from both the gaming industry and consumers alike. Despite that, as adventurers come to the close of this massive game, the many bugs present in Act 3 are grating on players. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 as a complete package is an amazing game and nobody is calling that into question. Our own review calls it \u201clife-affirming\u201d and \u201ca once-in-a-decade fantasy RPG\u201d. An overwhelmingly positive reception thanks to its freedom of choice, gameplay, and characters has made it one of the most popular PC releases of all time. Larian\u2019s passion and dedication to the project can be felt in almost every inch of the game. We say \u2018almost\u2019 because now that players have meandered through the first two acts of the game, they\u2019re beginning to notice some cracks. Multiple players have taken to the game\u2019s Subreddit to vent their frustrations with the lack of polish in Act 3. u\/rejian qualified at the beginning of their post that they did love Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 but the sheer volume of game-breaking bugs makes them \u201cafraid to play more\u201d. They\u2019ve allegedly been locked out of six late-game quests due to bugs preventing progression. \u201cSome of them bugged out at the end of the quest, some of them are dead almost at the beginning,\u201d they explained. Other players shared a similar sentiment. \u201cAct 3 feels like early access, it\u2019s really disappointing. Several of the quests are bugged, and it just lacks the polish of acts 1 & 2,\u201d one user replied in the thread. Other Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players like u\/meriamipopper claim that their negative experience in the game\u2019s third act invalidates a lot of the praise for the game. They\u2019ve even retroactively adjusted their own rating of the game after experiencing it. \u201cThe game has a 10\/10 start but anyone claiming this is one of the best games ever made can\u2019t have made it to Act 3 yet,\u201d they asserted. \u201cGames of that caliber don\u2019t need this much work.\u201d Developer Larian Studios did launch the first major patch for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 on August 25 which addressed a lot of bugs in the game. Unfortunately, these were primarily for the first and second acts of the game. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s third act will almost certainly go through a number of corrections in post-release patches as well. Given the first one was so large it exceeded Steam\u2019s text limit, Larian has certainly proven its commitment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
