Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Restarting game with new character - world already explored

I went back to replay with a new character, and when I escape from the ship and arrive at the beach, all of my prior progress is already shown on the map with all caches and items previously found being removed. I have tried going back to a save from the ship and escaping again, but it seems like the world somehow was generated with my previous games progress locked in. This is a problem because although the Goblins are dead at the entrance to the Druid Grove, the animation never triggers, and I can't get in because there is no one to fight. Also the mind controlled fisherman were wondering outside the wreck but played the animation for the injured mind flayer (although he was dead) and fought with me despite them standing around on the path outside. Any suggestions on how to reset the world, I'm leery to start another character for fear it will have the same problem once I get through the intro.

One of the interesting side effects of this, is when you get to the location where the Githrakyi is caged by the tieflings. the Tieflings are already dead, and she's standing directly under the cage, but the dialog starts as though she's still in the cage.

i saw something like that ages ago, patch 2?
Havnt seen it again. Still save frequently, just ran into a weird warpjump re owlbear. Somehow teleported past the owlbear, forgoing all videos and all dialogue until restarting from a earlier save.

So yeah save frequently and reload when odd stuff happens like enemy not fighting or whatever. may end up having to forgo many hours...

Ok, thanks, this is latest Patch on M1 so it may have come back or may just be lurking. I'll keep that in mind about frequent saves. I may try a few earlier saves on the ship to see if they have a different result once I reach the beach.
