Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion [END SPOILS WARNING] Addressing Karlach (PLEASE PUT SPOILERS IN TAGS)

.. instead we got silenced on discord (biggest thread there got muted and even deleted today)

NEW SYSTEM
When our feedback collectors see and collect your feedback, the thread will be closed as a means to keep the thread count down (so we don't reach the cap), and a signal that it's been seen. So if your post disappears - your feedback has been collected! :Minthara_party:

RULES
- **Do __not__ post bug reports here. For bug reports, please use <https://larian.com/support/baldur-s-gate-3#modal>
- Do not post feedback-threads as a comment on someone else's thread. It's ok to have differing opinions.
- Be polite.
- Try to be considerate still about spoilers; Speak vaguely or employ spoiler tags (Example: `||Spoiler marked text`) at your best ability

Where did all the posts go?
Now that Baldur's Gate is released, feedback and bug-reporting have changed a bit in nature. Some of you may have noticed that discord hasn't let you make new feedback posts lately - apparently there's a limit!

We've decided to reformat the feedback channel to focus more on the feedback rather than discussion. (Let's be honest, most active feedback threads mostly weren't on topic anyway) - Instead we encourage you to openly discuss ideas and thoughts in #bg3-general-nospoilers instead should you wish to bounce ideas prior to, or after posting. Remember to spoiler tag if you deem it needed :slight_smile:

This will also simplify the feedback process as we can close threads as they're 'collected' to make space for other threads to be made here and in other channels that have (or will have threads enabled in the future) to be able to utilize the threads feature too.

The old feedback channel remains public for now so that ongoing discussions can be finished/continued while we work through them. Discussions will be turned off during the weekend, but will be left up until the team has had time to work through the rest of the posts and read your inputs and thoughts.


FREQUENT FEEDBACK
Based on the previous feedback experience, having a small list of very regularly received feedback may be of interest (?) so I'll note down an incomplete list here:

- Add the ability to remove *all* characters from a party (common multiplayer-issue if someone stops playing anymore with the group)
- Ingame text-chat for multiplayer
- Swap between characters in dialogue
- Roll for stats in character creation
- Karlach. Karlach. Karlach. Karlach. Karlach. Karlach. Karlach. JUSTICE!
- Minthara? Yeah ok she's awesome too. Minthara. Minthara. Minthara! JUSTICE?
- Various game performance concerns
- Romance is too easy / happens too early
- In-game text chat
- Swap between characters mid-dialogue

I'm just describing what actually happens in the game. This is how her condition is currently portrayed. She literally dies right after the final fight if she doesn't go back. I'm not saying it makes any sense that we can't fix her or ameliorate her condition - just that as things stand, right now, the game says it's very bad, and it does turn out to be very bad.

You said her condition is desperate.

I dont think this is true, there must be something behind this. If you system is in place and working, why dont you delete bg3-archived-feedback > Mintharas Lack of Content and Humle Fanclub? You claim once you collect feedback you close the thread and delete it, yet you only muted and deleted our Karlachs thread (even tho the creator asked for this, why would you mute it before deleting it few days after). Minthara fans already voiced their opinions (aka feedback collected) and they received a fix (doesnt matter its still buggy, they received it), why not mute and delete this the thread as well?

I was trying to describe how they present the situation in the game, and that is definitely how they present it (especially in the newly added scenes we were originally discussing). I think most of us here agree that solutions are readily available - the problem is that the game just doesn't acknowledge them and keeps pushing her certain doomedness.

Which is disappointing because I know Larian's philosophy is to enable player freedom to solve problems creatively. Perhaps there wasn't enough time to implement the available avenues but, hopefully, a definitive edition will do just that.
