Larian Studios Forums Active Threads Today

I don’t expect Larian to change how they structure their game. Having big acts per zone has strong advantages, especially for the multiplayer. It’s also not my favourite, but it is also good. And unique. It is to Larian, what open worlds are to Bethesda.

@Taril In my view m, Larian could be smarter with scenarios they design. My impression of Baldurs Gate3 is that it is fairly constrained “BioWare style” story, that you can refuse to engage with and break. A low hanging fruit is the Artifact. Narrative assumes player will get their hands on the artefact, and if they don’t they find a way to force players to have it in more and more outlandish way, the more player resists it.

If there is an expected sequence of events that have to happen and consequences it will go against player freedom. I would rather have more content be like the goblin camp quest. The game doesn’t assume that something can happen. You can handle the situation in variety of ways and have outcomes that the game will respect. You are also free to use a wealth of scripted and systemic options.

Heya! I just realized that I posted in the wrong place about my issue. Ever since the update, whenever I reached a certain point in the game (beginning of act 2, tail end of act 3), my savefile stopped loading. I have no mods, my PC meets minimum requirements of the game. I already tried everything that the support suggested, even reached out to Norbyte thinking the issue was caused by SE. They said the following:
Now 4 of my honor mode runs cannot be loaded, all of them 30+ hours. Anyone knows a fix?

My specs: Windows 11 Home, 4070TI Super, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32gb RAM.

SharePlay to your friend and create a character in split screen. Once you’ve completed the opening cutscene, your friend can switch back to their own copy of the game and play in full screen.

Yes, the linked thread also mentions various causes. It could also have been due to the latest Win 11 update, etc. The fact is, I myself needed several complete clean reinstallations, and the launcher has not caused any problems since then. Others are only now experiencing these problems. You can see it in all the newer threads on Steam. I hope your "culprit" is now fixed. Happy gaming then.

Any plans on doing that? I vaguely remember the story now, it's been so long, but I remember I loved the game back in its day.

Any plans on a remaster?

Just had this exact problem. Nothing is working for me either. I was right near the end of Act 3... I am beyond pissed

In the pinned posts here in this forum is a thread by Ivra regarding their PDF walkthrough for the game, but the link for it no longer works. Does anyone happen to have this PDF and could re-link it for me, please? I realize there are other walkthroughs out there, but I'm curious about this one. Especially since it's in a pinned post here.

Heya,

So I'm on my first playthrough and a few days ago I started Act 2 after helping the Druids and refugees in Act 1.

Got to Last Light Inn and, as you might expect, got quite surprised by what followed. I rejected Marcus and his proposal to help him kidnap Isobel. Started the fight, tried to heal and save her while fighting enemies, but ultimately failed and Marcus flied away with her, while I was left to deal with the consequences. Long story short, everyone died, from Harpers to refugees I helped in Act 1, including Dammon, Roland, Alfira, Bracus - hell, even Jaheira died during the fight.

My heart sunk, and I couldn't continue playing for a couple of days, contemplating loading an earlier save to try again. But in the end I accepted the consequences and continued playing (only to lose Halsin as well, after he instructed me to guard the portal to Shadowfell, as if losing Last Light Inn wasn't enough).

Fast forward some hours, and I get to Moonrise Towers, where Ketheric for some reason thanks me for helping them get Isobel, and Z'rell as well, saying I got Isobel before she even asked me to do it.

Is this some kind of bug, or am I missing something? It's very annoying to accept horrifying consequences of my actions and choices, only for the game to - hours later - not acknowledge what I actually did, while saying I did the opposite.

Heya! It seems to me that since the last update my honor mode runs stop loading past a certain point at act 2 or 3. I first thought that it was SE related issue, but Norbyte confirmed that it is related to the following: (the crash is while creating esv::IconListComponent on an item in esv::ItemConversionHelpers::SavegameVisit -> esv::EntityManager::CreateItem -> esv::EntityManager::AddItem.) Anyone had an issue like that before? If so, is there a fix? I lost 4 honor mode runs at act 2 and 3 to this and support was of no help.

Thanks!

Hi, just curious. Nearing the end of my honour mode run. Whilst I haven't had any close calls so far, I want to get it done ASAP. Can I still get Gale to detonate at the brainstem to trigger the achievement? or was it patched out? Thank you
