Why yes, having characters that one gets emotionally invested in is the ideal. Unfortunately most games dont have those.

The worst example to me is TES. I mostly just played Morrowind. Oh sure, this character is a Paladin. But he's actually evil. And this is a Necromancer. Hey, he's actually quite nice. Everyone was sort of neutral in that game, everyone was dispassionately grey. Additionally you had no group, so that was even more impersonal and boring.

The game that made me most emotionally invested was Baldurs Gate 2. Namely Imoen, Aerie, and Keldron. To a lesser degree also others, like Minsc and Jaheira. Aerie also has the by far best romance I encountered in any game. Viconia would probably be fun, too, but having an evil character in the party is a true PITA. I did like the evil characters though, they have all been really funny.

Charaters in BG1+2 that have been evil have been really evil, and characters that have been good have been really good, and even the neutral characters had a clear personality.

Despite the fact I didnt liked them much, BG3 actually still has the second best game romance I ever encountered. The "romance" in Knights of the Old Republic was just seven dialogues. I mean I always did it anyway, but it was very superficial compared to Aerie. The "romance" in Neverwinter Nights 2 was one dialogue at the very end. Like ... wtf ?

A story that provides variance definitely provides replayability, so I'm certainly all for that.

I have the exact same thing after 16.2. the game keeps crashing no matter what I try. Both through DirectX and Vulkan, and through direct launch. Tragedy, I hope Lariani fixes it soon. I have a Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card with new drivers and it keeps crashing. I also filled in the Nvidia overlay, nothing helps.

I really wish Steam could do that, but unfortunately it can only roll back to "relesae_patch_7_hf3"

I had a tough time with my crypto assets after a mishap, and I was honestly feeling pretty lost. That’s when I found WHISPERER HACKER RECOVERY. From the get go, they were super approachable and walked me through the entire recovery process step by step.What really impressed me was their level of patience. They took the time to explain things in a way I could understand, which made me feel a lot more at ease. I appreciated that they weren’t just focused on the technical side of things; they genuinely seemed to care about helping me recover my investments.In the end, I was able to recover a significant portion of my crypto, and I couldn't be happier. If you’re facing a similar situation, I’d definitely recommend giving WHISPERER HACKER RECOVERY a try. They made a stressful situation much easier to handle!For More information visit their website at; Homepage > whispershackerrecovery . c o m

This may not fix your issues but it permanently fixed very similar symptoms for me. In my case, newer Alienware Laptop very similar to your specs except Nvidia GPU. Never had an issue before. But once I started playing BG3 on this system started to see the very random flashing black screens that I never had before. I finally found a thread that discussed certified video cables and because they were only about $20 each I bought them on Amazon and installed them as soon as I got them. Never had a flashing black screen ever again. BTW before that I even replaced the cables with the cheap junk I usually buy just to save money. The cables made all the difference in the world for me. Hope this helps. Again, the key was high performance certified video cables and I never looked back.

I have this exact same bug. I'm in Act 3, have already spoken to her in the sewers, and off she went on her merry way.

Quest is still stuck on "check up on arabella" and she's gone from the sewers.

Never had crashes prior to the recent hot"fix" patch but now all my saves are crashing right when they reach 100% loading. PC/Steam modded and unmodded saves. I've gone through all the "fixes" I've found: cleaning cache, verifying files, I've even reinstalled the game twice in the past week.

Please update on when these bugs from the recent hotfix will be addressed.

Good catch! Ich weiß nicht ob Larian das noch selber nachbessert, aber wir haben eine kleine deutschsprachige Modding community, die eine kontinuierliche Verbesserung an der deutschen Übersetzung vornimmt. Hilfreich wären auf jeden Fall Screenshots und Detailangaben für die Ausbesserung z. B. wo genau das zu finden ist (bin zwar selber Erfurter und mir wäre es auch direkt ins Auge gestochen, aber ich bin bisher nie über Akt 1 hinaus gekommen). ;-)

If you have the Japan version, that could be the cause. It has no crossplay because of censorship.

The recent hotfix has made the game unplayable for many people across platforms- issues include drop in FPS, saves not loading, frequent crashing, multiplayer not working, etc. These issues are expressed all over reddit and on this forum. I myself have sent in 2 bug reports to Larian and haven't heard back yet. Any update from Larian at least acknowledging an issue would be very helpful

Where did you get the ability to fly from? Did you unequip a magic item or change your spells? Did you equip armour that interferes with spell casting? Some context would help.

Yeah, dont get me started on realism in BG3 romances.

For example if men pulled what Gale pulls in this night scene with other men, they would get beaten up. A LOT.





First of all, awesome OP !

Yes the romances in BG3 suck BIG TIME. I'm not surprised some people wont play the game just because of the obnoxious romances.

As I've said before, they should give us the option to disable romances. I would immediately enable that and never turn it off again.

Personally I always romance Karlach ASAP - not because I want to, but simply to shut everybody else up. There is nothing I like about that romance, but she's the by far most likeable of the female options. Admittedly a very low bar, considering the other two are essentially pure evil.

But realistically I play Halfling and the most I would maybe romance is Gnome, but really typically another Halfling. And yes, I also sometimes play Half Woodelf. Then thats less of an issue. Those are the only two races I really play.

I also always play female now. Mainly because female faces are better. But also for example because then Gale's scene isnt as over the top uber creepy if you are female. Still creepy and invasive, just not as much.

I also dont like that everyone is bisexual. Realistic would be one bisexual, one homosexual. Then again, given how narrow the choices are, and how the game forces me to play females, its a good thing that Karlach is bisexual and I can romance her as a female.





Very well said, too.
