[Baldur's Gate 3]

[(Anonymous)]

Awww, you don't have to feel guilty OP it can happen! I've not tried a Durge run yet but from what I've heard it's very good and I can't wait(finishing my first solo run before I delve into that since I played the game with my gf first), so maybe I'll love my first Durge character more than my other two. Who knows?

But it's all good, you're loving the game and you're playing a second run when you normally don't, I think that by itself is a good thing. :)

I hope you have fun with a Durge run if you do one! It really is some very inter3sting writing and it can go in such dramatically different directions, it certainly is an experience!

Since my current run is a bit messed up, I am actually considering restarting it from a very early point and the fact that I'm even vaguely considering it speaks volumes about how much I like my Durge.

[(Anonymous)]

OP (Thank you secret maker anon!)

This... aged badly lol. Bugs have more or less made me not want to finish my current run and I'm super frustrated. It's "just" the romance that's broken but I'm two thirds through Act 3 and the only old save I still have where this might still be fixable by replaying and hoping the bug doesn't persist is at the end of Act 1 so... Yeah, either I'll have to finish it as is which bugs (ha!) me because I like to play these type of games exactly the way I want them. Or I'll have to restart at a point where I think this might still be salvageable which means I lose 15 hours + of playtime and I don't actually have a huge lot of motivation for that.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, wow.

That sucks, OP.

An author I follow on IG is obsessed with Baldur's Gate, which is like, the extent of my knowledge about it. If I had better dexterity and motivation to play video games, I'd check it out. I'm sorry the bugs are insurmountable and that the last redeemable save point would result in 15+ hours of lost gameplay.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you.
For what it's worth, dexterity isn't a huge issue with this game because it's very much a turn based battle system (board game style). I do get the lack of motivation, considering these games are pretty long, it's kind of à commitment, especially as long as it's still full price.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh nooooooooo, that sucks OP I'm sorry. :(

I feel you though, replaying 15+ hours of a game, even one I love is a huge ask. I'm trying to romance Lae'zel atm and it's going badly, but I'm keeping at it but there's the real chance I'm going to have a romanceless game and like, I could restart it but... I don't want to at this point, I'm too far in.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, this is exactly my issue. I'm terrible at replaying games so I was so jazzed that I actually liked me second run.... only to maybe have to replay half of it AGAIN or just cut my losses and finish it romance-less.
And it would be annoying as well if it was because I did something wrong but I didn't! It's not even my fault and that makes it worse.
Funnily enough, I romanced Astarion during my first run as well and, being a noob, I must have missed a TON of his content but the romance played out just fine. This time, I did all the stuff I missed and had all the right cutscenes but the game apparently never registered his romance as advanced during act 2 even though it was and I only found out after Cazador. Joy.

[(Anonymous)]

Ooof, yeah that sucks because you'd have missed out on a lot of stuff for him. Gosh it sucks that it never seemed to fire because that far in I wouldn't restart either, I'd just finish it and make a new game.

I'm sorry it's not worked out for you OP. :(

[nanslice]

Oh no! Are you the anon who's being pestered by Gale? That's so frustrating.

I actually did step back about 20 hours into my game because I wasn't pleased with some choices I'd made (I'm big on actually RPing these types of games and made some choices I didn't think was true to the character I'd built) but having done that, this game actually gives me a little bit of anxiety; because there are so many options and ways to get through it, I feel like I'm not "doing it right" even though, much like DnD tabletop, there's no real way to "do it right"; even the bad endings seem like they're actually meant to be important, you know? Like something to actually see.

So...there's so much open worldness and so many ways to go through that my anxiety is killing me. I guess I prefer more linear games. XD I definitely want to keep going but I might have to save it for when I'm in a better mental space.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, that's me alright! I do actually have some suspicion that the (incorrectly) triggered Gale romance may have had something to do with it or maybe it was just another sign that the romances are bugged in my game in general.
And YES your issues are exactly the same as mine. If I play these games, I want things to turn out just as I planned them. I don't care if that's" doing it wrong" - the role-playing aspect is what's most important for me. So that's why I'm so bummed that I'm so close to the end but a major thing I planned won't turn out the way I planned it through no fault of mine.

[(Anonymous)]

Unforgivably that's realistic.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. And I refuse to accept realism in my silly "I'm possessed by a squid monster parasite and the murderous will of my murder god father" videogame that I play to explicitly escape real life for a few hours.
