Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Finshed game review - Xzoviac ( and im back)

I FINSHED THE GAME

I loved it , my team was Gnome Sorc dragon poison sorc ( i used poisoner armour till i got better kit)

Karlach bezerker duel wielding 2 legendary weapons

Lazel (my gnomes love intrest) great weapon fighting using legendary 2h sword

Shadow heart life cleric
I saved everyone i could and always did the opposite of what the badguys wanted.


There was a few bugs like an npc was stook in a not now dear,
Npcs recogniseing me in disguise in cut scenes
Would have liked a bit more info on the endings of all my companions like bg2 did at the end, explaining what they did next, and what happend to all the diffrent groups and your companions, but sadly the game sorta just ended after a cutscene or two

Feel like the second half of last act was very cool i loved the boss fights and suprises - not gonna talk about them.

I really loved the game a lot, was the first time iv put 100 hours in to a game in a long time in such a short time, it had me gripped.

Bugs i can forgive, they will get sorted, and i cant wait to play again

The combat was fun and i enjoyed the harder fights although killing smaller trash mobs was boring at times because i always wanted to save my casters spell slots for harder battles, i found my sorc hardly used his 1 and 2 spells st higher levels i just turned them in to sorc points, and spent those points with scrolls meaning i could end a battle in 1 turn a lot of the time 1 chain lightning sc cast using bonus action use free cast passive then twinspell chain lightning again
Would maks short work of most fights.

Trying not to rest to much, as the story made me feel time was of the essence, and if i kept resting even though it didnt really effect the game, in my mind i would be playing it wrong, so i didnt rest untill my casters used every spell slot up and ended up spending 50000 (threw the whole game) on spells potions bombs and other useful items so i didnt need too rest as often.

I feel like the closing story needed way more depth and info, iv no idea how most of my choices effected the world in the end to the point that those choices almost didnt matter.

Trying to keep these questions spoiler free so may be vague ish

Whats happend to the grove now?

Halsin died in my game (my fault he got caught in an AOE) how did that change the world?

One of the little tieflings was off becoming a mage whats she doing?

What about all the other tieflings i saved they have any futures?

Bad guys i let live have they changed or was it a wrong choice?

What about all the vampires i let escape?


Whats happend to act 2 thanks to my actions?

Whats going to happen to the gith?


Non of these questions where answered, and for that reason, im pretty disapointed in the endings of the game, really is a shame you put so much effort in just to rush at the last.

Still an amazing game iv got my moneys worth and will play again, but yeah majorly disapointed in the endings depth

After sleeping last night and thinking about the end of the game im Left wanting to play again for the combat, the ending of the game really makes the story feel pointless and that really really sucks, very disappointed in the lack of care put in to the ending Larian, thing is only 0.4% of players on steam have finished the game atm, so the backlash is not going to be Huge yet you still have chance to fix the mess that is the end of the game

even little portraits with a narrator read story like bg2 did at the end would be enough, it does not need to be fully cut scened, although that would be better (but it seems you have run out of time, and this needs fixing)

I feel the exactly same way ! Excellent points there and I have the similar questions - It felt like none of my choices / consequences mattered.
the I just finished the game last night and I have to say I was disappointed. Act 3 felt rushed and is (for me at least , buggy as hell). Which is a shame because Act 1,2 and early Act 3 were Fantastic !!! the best gaming experience I've ever had !

I romanced Astarion - Good outcome. And the romance ending honestly feels like an afterthought. Like they spent so much time and effort on the evil ending (which rules) and then just hastily threw this one together. There's nothing remarkable in there. Not a single noteworthy line, just empty bla bla. And I know they want to emphasize user choices but to me it feels so unnatural that even after all this, astarion STILL asks if you want to stay with him. After declaring your love for each other, What kind of monster would leave him at that point? That's just not how relationships work. You don't ask every single day "hey do you still want to do this?". You both commit and then that's it. Ugh.
As far as I've seen, astarion is the only companion who has to suffer like that (him burring in the sun) after choosing the redemption path and it seems so unfair to me. Like why can't he be rewarded for making an effort to become a better person?

Your Love interest means nothing in the end, not even a hug or kiss. Like we have been able to do since growing the romance.

The Necromancy Book of Thay was Pointless & Useless !! I thought it would give an advantage against Cazador or even help cure Astarion.

Allies for your final battle don't even show up, like the Nightsong or Mizora. Even though they say they will be there in the end to aid you.

I would have liked to see something of what I've achieved after my 80 hours gameplay. Slideshows, animations , just something to show how my choices affected the world.

Yeah seems like the ending was really rushed so only a few endings actually feel complete

you have to waste an Action to "summon" your allies, its actually the worse way to win the fight, just move all your allies to the second form of the boss and use a globe of invulnerability until the portal opens you can be at the second form in 1 turn using fly and dash, only reason to kill anything in the first fight may be to kill the dragon for the achievement, but you could just blow it up then reload and move to the portal.

yeah i put 117hours in to this playthrough and the journey was worth it but the ending has left me a little bitter, the ending really made every action you take feel pointless.

they bragged so much about reactivity and 17000 endings, but all this feels really shallow, like I didnt take gale in my game,
so he wasnt stood in the group at the end, but no one even comments on it, the game still thinks he is in the party, and companions talk about him sometimes when i find magic items like we have met him

if i played the exact same way but spoke to gale, in larians eyes him being in the background of the cutscene is a different ending? - very disappointing

I am confused. Do you not meet them again in BG City? What happens to NPCs like if you spare them, do you meet them again somewhere later?

Just a reminder to be extra careful with spoilers, especially when talking about the endings. Most people are still working their way through the game and should have the opportunity to judge for themselves without preconceptions!

I tried to spoiler tag the spoilers hopefully you feel i coverd everything you consider spoilers

You forgot your spoiler tags. Anyway thx good to know, then I will kill some particular NPCs to get the XP and items. I mean is after all a

I tagged everything up now,

But seems a lot of people are starting to complain about the ending, so maybe patch 1 will give some improvements
