Baldur's Gate 3 PSA: "Long Rest as often as possible. It will reduce bugs"

Baldur's Gate 3 players believe they've identified an issue "halfway through Act 3", which some believe hint at "a weird error with the way [Larian has] designed the whole narrative progression".

Everyone acting like this game is the ideal that those 'other jealous devs' should be aiming for, meanwhile it had 3 years in early access and is still buggy.

Flawlessmic1015d ago

Spoken like someone that hasn't played it.

That game is utterly ridiculous in its scope, systems, freedoms, choice, voice acting just everything.

The fact they managed to get this game functioning as whole, while giving you all this choice and story just goes on one way or the other.

A few bugs are to be expected, this game and larian deserve all the plaudits, I'm not sure why haters like you are trying to drag them or the game down.

And yes devs should absolutely be jealous of what larian have achieved here, if anyone else tried it the game would dead ass be broken, with fake choice and freedoms not to mention filled with mtx.

"That game is utterly ridiculous in its scope, systems, freedoms, choice, voice acting just everything"

If that were the headlines that would be fine.

But the headlines are "optimized to perfection" and "launched perfect day one"

Those headlines are the problem when the game still has bugs and performance issues. And they had a 3 year full price paid "early access" period to fix it.

And now I'm seeing you tube thumbnails comparing the 97 metacritic to Zeldas 96 when it's uncomparable because BG3 has 26 reviews and Tears has 140 reviews.

I just feel like theres some misinformation getting passed around for some reason. And i have no skin in the game as BG3 is technically a PS5 console exclusive and i haven't played or care about zelda.

And yet over the weekend I actively avoided a long rest for as long as I could because of a number of stat buffs I had that would go away with a long rest. No issues at all, compared to the week prior when I had some loading freezes.

CrimsonWing691014d ago

I’d take this over some GaaS game in a heartbeat.

just_looken1014d ago

exactly generic and dmc but this game is the new Jesus so man fans you think it can cure cancer or jerk you off pathetic.

Angyobangyo1014d ago

Sounds like you're jealous of the devs.

Guitardr851014d ago

Lol or some people just like to be contrarian

Why is this marked as news? It isn't news. It is one redditor's conjecture. It mentions "all kinds of bugs", but not a single example is given (it mentions events being missed, which isn't necessarily a bug in a game like this). Person who wrote the post didn't even experience the issue. No proof is given that the "long rest" is causing the problems (again which aren't specifically mentioned), they're just guessing that it is.

dumahim1014d ago

I really curious about this too. I keep hearing about late game bugs, but I haven't seen one person describe any of them yet. Only thing I can think of is they're trying to not post spoilers.

SinisterKieran1014d ago

Okay but am I at risk story wise for doing this? That thing in my head doesn’t take over right?

darksky1014d ago

BS advice. You deplete your food rapidly if you keep long resting. Don't really fancy running around checking every barrel and crate for food when they are mostly full of useless junk.

kythlyn1014d ago

The bigger issue with this advice is that on occasion, long rests can progress quests... I remember one moment I long rested and 4 quests failed all at once because I had taken too long to get to them.

Oooof. I have very little hope for this with how badly they screwed up Season 2. I loved and re-watched the first season of The Las of Us 4-5 times now. Only watched season 2 once and will not be watching Season 3 unless I'm very bored. The fact that Larian isn't involved is also another red flag.

-Foxtrot107d ago

TLOU show creator…oh God

There’s a reason why the show went from “Season 4 and possibly beyond” to “it might end at Season 3”

Daeloki107d ago

I mean regardless of who's making it, there's simply no hope for it.
A) Larian is not involved. This is gonna be pure Hasbro greed.
B) It's a game that largely revolves around player choice, with tons of outcomes and replayability. There is no single canon to translate into a show.
C) It's a high fantasy setting, with spectacular visuals that are going to be very expensive, and also very difficult to get to look actually good in live action.

Only potential they have is if they lean into campiness, make it vibe like old 90's, early 2000's fantasy shows like Xena, Mystic Knights etc. Less epic and more failed skill checks, "wrong" choices.

dmonee107d ago

From what I have read, The Last of Us season 2 woes, was because of Neil Druckman. I have hope for season 3 now that he is out if the equation. I have hope for BG live action show. Its also being worked in by the team that did Chernobyl.

Shaky Relationship meaning Hasbro wanted an even larger cut of the pie moving forward. Also why we're not getting BG4 w/Larian. Hasbro just wanted to bleed them dry.

Michiel1989133d ago

no im pretty sure it was related to the people from hasbro that helped with the game getting fired or that only the people from Larian were eligible for bonusses and Larian didn't fuck with that

Christopher132d ago

The people from Hasbro were fired by Hasbro. Why would non-workers on a game get bonuses for not having worked on the game (meaning anyone at Hasbro)?

repsahj134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

Because they are busy for the next Divinity game on Switch 2. Fine by me because I already have BG3 on my PS5, and believe me or not, I didn't finish it. Considering I bought the Deluxe edition to play it ahead of everyone. XD

gigoran8133d ago

if this were able to run on the switch 2, then theoretically the PS4 pro should be able to as well. can't wait for that port

Neonridr133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

you do realize that in terms of numbers it might be on par with a PS4 Pro. However, GPU wise, it has a much larger feature set available to it. The PS4 Pro couldn't even run FSR natively.

Terry_B132d ago

Yeah..I doubt BG3 would run well on the Switch 2.
