Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Companions Bugged, Won't Follow

It happened right in front of me when I did it, I posted in one of the other threads, it wasn't lucky, I was just paying attention.

I tried stealing some items from npcs with two of my characters and had the other two just standing off to the side, the two off to the side stopped following.

I also ran into a bug where npcs were chasing me down like I'm playing a instrument but I'm not, I actually was just stealing a item off another person. Got a npc shadow boxing on a rock now.

Another would be getting a black screen after swapping characters while one was in a conversation and the character I swapping to was caught stealing (This one I actually was worried about, wasn't sure if the previous save would fix it, seeing only a black screen but the esc menu worked sucked).

All those were fixed by saving often and closing the game down and reloading a previous save, this is a beta game and you can only blame yourself. Hope you learn from this.
