What the community wishes

Act 3 performance and bug issues
Act 3 has significant performance issues, including long wait times during turn-based combat due to excessive enemies. Bugs and stuttering are prevalent, making it less enjoyable compared to Acts 1 and 2.
Quest bugs in non-linear progression
Quests in Act 2 and Act 3 can bug out if completed out of order, which is problematic in a non-linear game. This disrupts the flow and can lead to frustration for players.
Cinematic skip on accidental right-click
Accidental right-clicks skip cinematics, which is frustrating for players who want to enjoy the story. A confirmation prompt or disable option for this feature would improve the experience.
Inventory management issues
Inventory management is cumbersome, especially for hoarders. Organizing items in camp is difficult, and a better system for sorting and managing items is needed.
Party reactivity in Act 3
Party members rarely react to events in the final act, which breaks immersion. Improved reactivity and dialogue in Act 3 would enhance the narrative experience.
Save scumming for lore checks
Players feel compelled to save scum to pass dialogue checks for lore. An option to skip checks on lower difficulties for lore purposes would reduce frustration.
Multiplayer character permanence issue
Once a player creates a character in multiplayer, they cannot be removed, which is frustrating for groups with more than 4 players. A system to manage or remove characters would improve multiplayer flexibility.
Pathfinding and companion bugs
Ranger companions and other NPCs often get stuck in maps, requiring manual intervention. Improved pathfinding and bug fixes for companion movement are needed.
Owlbear cub bug
The owlbear cub sometimes disappears and reappears later without explanation. Fixing this bug would improve consistency in companion interactions.
Ending sequence bugs
The ending sequence has bugs where scenes get stuck and fail to progress. Fixing these issues would provide a smoother conclusion to the game.
Performance issues in Act 3
Act 3 feels unfinished with poor performance, bugs, and weaker character arcs compared to Acts 1 and 2. Addressing these issues would improve the overall experience.
Honor mode bugs
Honor mode is unplayable due to frequent bugs, such as incorrect turn counts and infinite dialogue loops. Fixing these issues is crucial for players seeking a challenging experience.
Modding for party size increase
The base game limits party size, which restricts access to origin character quests. A mod or official feature to increase party size would enhance gameplay flexibility.
Romance content critique
Some players feel the romance content is excessive and poorly conceived. Reducing or refining romantic interactions could improve the game's focus on story and gameplay.
LGBT content critique
Some players find the LGBT content excessive. While this is subjective, offering more customization options for romance and relationships could cater to a broader audience.
UI and slow gameplay critique
The UI can be cumbersome, and the gameplay pace feels slow at times. Streamlining the UI and improving pacing would enhance the overall experience.
Loot obsession critique
The game encourages loot obsession, which can be overwhelming. Balancing loot distribution and reducing the need for constant inventory management would improve gameplay.
Modding for woke content
Some players feel the game's 'woke' content detracts from the experience. While subjective, offering modding tools to customize character appearances and interactions could address these concerns.
Ending sequence pacing
The ending sequence can feel overwhelming and unmotivating. Improving pacing and providing clearer objectives would help players stay engaged until the conclusion.
Multiplayer bugginess
Multiplayer has been very buggy, especially in earlier versions. Continued bug fixes and improvements to multiplayer stability are necessary for a smoother experience.

This game returned a piece of me that I hadn't felt in a long time. It gave me so much comfort. When I'm sad I'll load this game up and lose myself in it. I could sit there for days, play it, and not leave my room. It's given me a beautiful story full of characters written with so much care and detail, characters who have felt the same things I have, love, joy, abandonment, betrayal, hope, and so on. The endless possibilities, finding new things every run, seeing how beautiful this game really is. I've never felt so connected to any game before, and I don't think I ever will.

Not for me, so happy so many people enjoyed this game, but i find it boring and the combat too repetitive. Im a huge RPG fan and this just wasnt for me. The interactions and the freedom are fun, but actual gameplay just isnt my cup of tea.

  • Sentiments

    • I find the game boring and the combat too repetitive, which makes it unenjoyable for me.

    • The actual gameplay isn't my cup of tea, which makes it hard for me to enjoy the game.

Negative

I have mixed feelings about BG3. The first part, Act 1, was fun and engaging, with varied choices and consequences. Unfortunately after that, the quality becomes a bit uneven. By Act 3, interactions are significantly reduced, even minimal, and some story lines become a little frayed. This was disappointing because Act 3 is the most interesting part of the game and is narratively the most important. Characters who are clearly dev favorites are given an inordinate amount of attention, whilst some other characters remain stuck with odd, disjunctive character development, or remain underdeveloped in Act 3. All in all, this game was promising but did not live up to the hype. Fantastic soundtrack and voice acting though.

  • Sentiments

    • I felt that the quality of the game became uneven after Act 1, which was disappointing.
    • I noticed that interactions were significantly reduced by Act 3, which felt minimal and disappointing.
    • I was disappointed that some storylines in Act 3 became a little frayed, especially since it is the most interesting and narratively important part of the game.
    • I observed that characters who were clearly developer favorites received an inordinate amount of attention, which felt unbalanced.
    • I felt that some characters had odd, disjunctive character development or remained underdeveloped in Act 3, which was frustrating.
    • I think the game was promising but ultimately did not live up to the hype, which left me feeling let down.
    • I absolutely loved the fantastic soundtrack, which added a lot to the game's atmosphere.
    • I was impressed by the voice acting, which was top-notch and added depth to the characters.

Negative

the worlds best first act the worlds best second act the worlds worst, most slow, laggy, frustrating to follow third and final act that has stopped me out of sheer boredom from finishing three different playthroughs i wish i could give this game a yes but it's third act is so painful it makes it all feel like it was worth nothing

  • Sentiments

    • I believe the first act of the game is the best in the world, showcasing exceptional quality and engagement.
    • I think the second act of the game is also the best in the world, maintaining the high standard set by the first act.
    • I find the third and final act to be the worst, with its slow pace, laggy performance, and frustrating narrative making it hard to follow.
    • I feel the third act is so painful and boring that it has stopped me from finishing the game three different times.
    • I wish I could recommend this game, but the third act ruins the overall experience, making it feel like the earlier parts were not worth it.

Negative

Finding out, after multiple hours of game play, you cannot save because a bug that's persisted through patches is the most infuriating thing I've ever experienced in any game ever.

  • Sentiments

    • I feel let down by the developers for not addressing a problem that significantly impacts the player experience.
    • I am annoyed that I cannot enjoy the game fully due to this technical issue.
    • I am disheartened by the fact that such a basic functionality is still broken after so much time.
    • I am upset that this issue has made what could have been a great gaming experience into a frustrating one.

Negative

Please understand, this game is causing extreme frustration and that may make this review reflect poorly. I have really enjoyed this game and already have plans to play through the story again HOWEVER this game is riddled with bugs. My game has froze, crashed and more, most recently on the last fight of the game (I expect). This has soured my view of bg3 and would not wish this on anyone. If the bugs/glitches/freezes/crashes were to be resolved I would recommend. Until that time, save yourself the frustration.
