While I had the game purchased all the way from the beginning of Early Access to support Larian, I specifically postponed playing it until after Patch #5 in the hopes that I can have as polished an experience as possible.
Why did I wait so long? Because for me BG3 is one of those games, like Dragon Age: Origins, The Witcher 3 and Elden Ring. Truly memorable and genre defining experiences that remain as fond memories of what makes gaming such a beloved pastime for us.
For my part, I have only just transitioned to Act “1.5” and while I can live with laggy vendor interfaces and broken item sorting, I refuse to continue playing while there is a risk of being gratuitously spoiled like this.
To my mind, this sort of bug should be patched as soon as possible because it completely ruins the experience for first time players such as myself.
