Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Can we please get ONE unified toggle/setting for reactions?

As the title suggests...

I'm not sure why we are basically asked to confirm the manual checkmark on reactions for almost each single one of them, rather than getting just one option in our settings saying "Yes, I want every single reaction in the game to be a manual confirmation".

On a side note, and not strictly related to the request above, I'm more than a bit puzzled about Larian's implementation of Uncanny dodge for the rogue... Given that is NOT a reaction (as it should be) but just a passive with no downsides nor limited uses... Why is it even disabled by default?

I disagree.

All reactions are not equal and the functionality to toggle each individually is absolutely needed. More options (the current system) is always better than less (your idea). Removing player choice in favor of homogenization is, frankly, a very bad suggestion.

Having to click your mouse a few extra times to set some things up isn't the end of the world.

Except I'm not asking to remove the option to toggle them individually.
I'm asking for an option to NOT being forced to do it when my mind is set on one preference.

Which means you are "disagreeing" with something no one asked for.

Bump.

Bump of an old thread, but...

When your suggestions are vindicated by the normies:

What's worse is that the option now exists in the game, but for some weird reason is buried under the "Custom" difficulty rather than being a generic game setting.

Yup having to set all reaction manually for each character is annoying.

I'd prefer if they were all just on by default instead of some on and some off. I wouldn't mind a master toggle, I suppose, but it's weird the way some default one way and others default another.

I'd prefer "all ON by default" too, because that's how I play the game anyway.
But putting my personal preferences aside, it really wouldn't take that much to add a "master toggle" (as you named it) in the options panel so people can do as they prefer.

Especially since the option already exists, but for some inexplicable reason is exclusively accessible while starting a game at "custom difficulty" and activating it from there.

P.S. Not entirely related, but I also have no idea why some of the "difficulty enhancements" of the Honor mode are not accessible from the custom panel, too.

As far as I know, there is a master toggle to set all reactions to the "always ask" function.

It is not located in settings, but rather the "difficulty" tab. If you go to the difficulty settings, one of the options is "always ask reactions" or something of the sort, can't recall the exact verbage off the top of my head, but it is something similar to that.

That being said, this is a very nonsensical place to include it, as it makes much more sense for it to be included in the settings menu, where all the other game settings are kept.

Tying it to difficulty needlessly locks honor mode players out of the usability of this function and creates confusion as to this setting's existence.

Note: Toggling this setting to "always ask" also does not change the setting to opportunity attacks on all player characters and companions, as these will still automatically trigger without the pop up window and must still be manually changed to "always ask". This is another problem with this function.

Agreed, certain situations call for certain reactions. We should be able to use it when we want, the way it is is fine

I would also like a master setting so I don't forget about it. The amount of times I've accidentally opportunity attacked Grym and messed up the entire fight is not even funny.

There is also a bug with trying to bring up the reaction settings for your companions where you can only do it immediately after loading a save. As soon as you go to camp or leave camp it bugs out.

It's not really clear wha you are agreeing with, because you are saying two things apparently at odds with each other.
