Larian Studios Forums Active Threads This Week

You mean to tell me that the Jaheira bug that makes her not an ally and prevents you from using her as a proper companion hasn't been fixed for over 2 years??

I don't care how good this game is, that is a game breaking bug that should've been resolved years ago when this was first brought up. A whole companion that is unplayable/broken, 100% unacceptable.

Edit: I don't care how many threads have been created for this very issue. I've scoured enough of the internet and dealt with enough AI trying to fix this, so you can deal with my 1 extra little thread, because I'm not finding one to post in.

Thread moved. Thanks for the heads up, Ido58!

Yeah, I’ve had my share of frustrations with SMS not coming through for logins, especially with gaming accounts. Sometimes it’s just delayed, but other times it never arrives and I end up stuck waiting or reaching out to support too. Logging in with Steam or Google saves me when the SMS part is down, but it would definitely be better if they offered some backup option or more reliable messaging.

It's interesting that they haven't done that, I was coming to the forums just to double check before signing up on the main site.

I wish Steam kept more older versions. I would love to roll back to before hotfix [sic] 36. Game worked perfectly then and I finished a playthrough with no issues, this hotfix has messed more up than it fixed. Invisible NPC's that aren't actually invisible but simply not present at all even though the game thinks they are, the old "can't exit turn based mode" bug rearing its head again when it was fixed previously etc etc. So annoying. My only option seems to be to roll back to 7 and then add the hotfixes one at a time through the steam consol - deep joy. Or I guess stop playing until the next supposed fix is released.

still a bug 3 years later apparently as I get it every combat now. New one to me even though played the game for years, Only way to exit turn based for me is to save and reload

Hi, all the mentioned troubleshooting didn't work on wendnesday, but I've been able to log in again since thursday evening.

"Dude" that 's what I said. DOS2 was not for me, but BG3 was. I'm saying that games where the world, the story and the characters are bland or irritating are not for me, even if the game mechanics are good. Whereas others where the story , the world and the characters are fascinating, even if some game mechanics are not my style, still make a great game. That's what immersion means for me, and that's why I think it is important for a lot of gamers. You ant all of these to stop playing PC games, even the ones that we like, or what ?

Update: Part 4, Chapter 31 is now published. This begins Part 4. Hope you enjoy it!

BG3.5 - Hellraisers (Fanfiction)
Baldur's Gate 3.5: Hellraisers - an original fanfic story that is a sequel to Baldur's Gate 3 Fanfic: The Afflicted. It picks up immediately after the events of Baldur's Gate 3 as characters from the previous fanfic - Fiovay, Kai, Aelun, Vlyn, and the other members of their party - travel to Avernus. Their quest is to save Karlach but also to hopefully find and rescue Darson, Aelun's father, from the clutches of Demogorgon.

Not my problem to deal with.

Not "my argument" at all, not to mention not a conclusion I agree with even remotely.

The fact that you don't value the importance of a game selling a specific fantasy (maintaining a convicing sense of adventure without breaking the illusion of the fiction being served to the player) seems to be absolutely a limitation on your part.

Abominable.

Thanks been doing that as well.

I love Shadowheart's response to this. Something like "Stole it from some other plane of reality, more like it!"
