Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Don't exit turn based mode while characters are downed

I just finished a fight with one of the major bosses, it ended with an explosion that killed them and downed two party members. Which should be fine, I have two characters up I should be able to help the others, I have healing potions too. But it just started rolling death saves, and because the command to enter turn based mode is unreliable, just outright killed a character without letting me get back into turn based mode to be able to help them back up.

I don't know why turn based mode is so unreliable, I click the button and often nothing happens at all, it just keeps the clock ticking, that should probably be fixed too. But until you can figure that out, a simple fix is possible: don't exit turn based mode if a character is unconscious.

Agreed, was pretty frustrating the first time this happened to me and I attempted to re-enter turn based mode without success.

It's also crazy how many traps go into full machine gun mode when you are in RT.

There is an additional time you can't skip when you turned off TB mode, it is what it is.

As for the rest, you're just unlucky and standing in the wrong place in the wrong time.

I think they should just let characters recover 1 hp when the game kicks you out of turn-based mode (meaning there are no more monsters trying to kill you). Clicking on "help" after the fight seems like an unnecessary task.
