Dear diary, I had to do the Kethhwic Thhowme fight three separate times. First, I was happily looting his corpse when the game crashed and my last save was just before the fight happens. Then I did the fight again and suddenly remembered that I was supposed to find Zevlor too. After looking around and not finding him where he was supposed to be, I begrudgingly loaded that pre-fight save again, found Zevlor and went back to fight Kethhwic again. The last time I savescummed my way through it until I was finally back at Moonrise. Phew. Never found zevlor.. well we did eventually much later on, it was quite artistic. Thorne was quite easy, first i persuaded him to jump into the hole, thus we only did stage 2 - and then we had a certain overly horny person helping us.

The fight only got easier and easier the more times I had to do it -- it was the repetition that was mind-numbing. The last time I fought him, I actually got the achievement for not letting him consume any of the Necromites. Oh, and my party was in a pretty rough shape after the Necrotic Laboratory 😂 we pretty much threw everything we had at him as fast as possible before he could kill us

I know it's a joke but I actually keep hearing it from people and I feel like everyone who says "modern games suck" must be shooter fans. Or maybe adventure fans or something. Because the shooter genre is in a terrible spot right now. I keep telling them as an RPG fan, we've just had an amazing couple of years Elden Ring, Zelda, BG3, Cyberpunk, * glances over at Starfield* ... all the Horizon games, Persona 5. It really depends which genre you're in. If you like open world sandboxes again I feel like this is an incredible time. Spiderman 2's just coming out and everybody's looking forward to it. MMOs and Shooters, boy they're in a rough spot though. I'm just going to say this before I dip out from this thread as I caused too much of a ruckus which I apologize to everyone for. Starfield is a way better game than Cyberpunk, it didn't have the most disastrous launch in recent memory AND the fact that Starfield ran smoothly (for the most part) on my console, while Cyberpunk was filled with soooo many technical issues that it crashed my game numerous times. The fact that people actually have the gall to dunk on Starfield while placing Cyberpunk on a pedestal is hysterical. To me, It cemented that some gamers are not only forgiving but hypocritical. Really smiles? You complain about people dunking on your preferred game for a couple of pages, then go and do the exact same thing with no irony? Seriously bro?

I’m completely out of the loop.
Does anyone have an idea of how much they plan on patching and how long it’ll take? Like do we know if they plan on addressing the Act 3 issues people are talking about?
Our dnd group is talking about all of us playing together, so I’ll probably end up getting the game eventually. I’m not too keen on getting it too early if they’re planning on ‘fixing’ anything story related. Problem is I’m also very impatient and Christmas isn’t far off.

If it's anything like their Original Sin games, there'll be an Enhanced Edition with extensive fixes and additional content in 1 or 2 years. They already fixed a lot and will continue doing so in the near future. Larian is pretty good with that.

I’m not too keen on getting it too early if they’re planning on ‘fixing’ anything story related. Problem is I’m also very impatient and Christmas isn’t far off. They put out hotfixes and patches consistently. 9 hotfixes that have fixed only a few issues, and 3 patches that have fixed a humungous amount of issues. For example, take a look at how many fixes are on this page: baldursgate3.game/news/patch-3-mac-support-magic-mirror-more_93It'll be supported for a good long while but I don't think they're changing anything story related?

Do they release the Enhanced Edition along with the additional content in 1 or 2 years, or does that come earlier? I'm assuming any Enhanced Edition isn't going to be released soon?

Sounds more and more like I either have to buy now and get whatever I can out of the game, or wait 1-2 years to see if they stay true to formula and release an EE .

I have no idea what the majority of the complaints are - we're about half way through Act 3 and having a blast. It's one of the most solid releases I've played, and we started on launch day. I really feel it's completely overblown, especially as the previous 70 hours(!) of gameplay until we got there have been amazing, and it continues to be. The worst we have come across is a exceptionally minor scripting bug where some descriptive dialogue played slightly out of order. Oh no, the calamity.

Sounds more and more like I either have to buy now and get whatever I can out of the game, or wait 1-2 years to see if they stay true to formula and release an EE . I played through fairly shortly after release. Even then I only had minor bugs (mostly stuck animations, the companions being way too horny and one character thinking I did something I didn't do). I'm more concerned (without going into spoiler territory too much) about closure for one character which seems to have been removed shortly before release. From what I remember, it was similiar with the 3rd act of Original Sin 2, where the Enhanced Edition did quite a bit of elaborating. The game is in a good enough state to play now in any case.

I had some really bad bugs in Act III when it first came out - whole areas where textures wouldn't load properly, especially in the endgame. Several characters turned up to the big meeting before the final battle without any clothes on, like they'd decided to cheer us on by getting their tits out. I had to restart the last battle twice and ended up turning it down onto Easy because it crapped out on me every time there were too many mobs on screen. None of the Dragon Age games had anywhere near that level of technical issues for me, and I've played all of them at launch.
That said, Larian have done a terrific job of patching and the second time I finished the game everything went fine. Still waiting for them to put the epilogue content back in before I finish it again, though.

What, you don't prepare for battle with a party in the nude? 😄 That would be quite in character for a lot of them what with their buggy approval ratings.

Ambassador Florrick and Withers who arrived naked. Her boobs and Jergal's withered mummy arse, just right there for everyone to see.

Baldur's Gate 3 is making me miss the more straightforward alternatives Dragon Age games have. I'm perfectly torn over what kind of ending I'm going for. DA games pretty much have all had the Mages/Templars debate -- Baldur's Gate on the other hand is making me make so many big decisions it's like I'm playing an adulting simulator. Act 3 is so full of stuff to get done it's stressing me out.

Well, no, you're right in that their decisions aren't easy and care-free, but in comparison to Baldur's Gate, I feel like I'm constantly flooded with important decisions. BG3 is my first foray into anything Dungeons and Dragons related, with Dragon Age I at least have a basic understanding of different factions, races, etc.

Chill you two. DAO > BG3 > DAI > Divinity > DA2. My opinion, but I'm right... I would say it like this:
BG1 > DAO> Pathfinder WotR> DAI>BG2 >DA2> Larian Games

I don't think, you would have any trouble there. The only problem are - like with every new game (we had that here in the forum too, when DAI was new and probably with ME too) - a lot of new users, that are sometimes quite rude, but the mods are dealing with them very well.
My personal pet peeve is the lack of small races companions, there was a halfling werewolf bard named Helia planned (how cool is that?) and she was axed, probably for Halsin, which is sad. I'm still campaigning for Helia, since Larian is still working to put stuff in. I see. Maybe you are right. I wasn't in the forum for a long time. Also active on the larian forums. Really not seeing this it’s 100% perfect thank you for your answer: I have show some of my problems with the game here and there. But let me put it together for you two. I saw the game first when Larian show the first game play. I have played turn-base-games but this game play confused me extremly. The YouTube LPs could explain something to me. But it looks like a lot of work for me to get used to. I do work for games if i like them enough so i waited. The Companions where the next big hit to me. I am not a fan of Larians Origin Characters. I love the near to DAO idee of The Dark Urge. But it looks like i haven't the right Alignment for Larian. I play good or neutral only sometime evil. Lae'zel grow a lot on me and i liked Halsin from the start. the rest to put it nicely isn't for me.(I don't count minsc and Jaheira) I am picky i know. And i know i can use merchants. But they wouldn't have so much story. And i am only here for the story and my impacked on it. So let's get to the story. I watchted many LPs and the first which I noticed immediately. The beginning is the same pattern as in DOS2 ship-fight-beach. If i could skip the ship and beginn on the beach i would be much happier. Let me only say the ship part isn't for me. Next DAI was a little bit to large and have places which aren't connected to the main story. But at least i have a red thread. With BG3 which is even larger with no red thread. It feels like i making 2 quest and act 1 is finished without me even knowing that there are more quest i could do. For the ending i use spoiler tags: It would be an understatement if I said the ending wasn't made for me. No good ending, no result to what i have done. It feels like we getting a big downgrade from DAO. Why can't we work around the Mind Flayer. Only the ones using the powers get the endings we getting now. And everyone not using the power have endings where we have a DAO like ending with morrigans baby not ideal but at least good for the moment. Why Larian doesn't like happy endings with good and bright energie? I am very happy that i haven't bought the game. And everyone liking the game good for you. But for me it was the 3rd big hit after DA2 and Final Fantasys change. I have Pathfinder now so i am good at the moment. Hope this help to understand why not everybody can like the game.

I have played turn-base-games but this game play confused me extremly. Yes, it's extremely close to DnD. People say it's the closest thing to DnD you can get in a computer game so the rules are a little complex. Gale was my fave from the start, absolutely hilarious xD Especially when he dies and he gives you those instructions to resurrect him. Gale has a kind of whimsy Bioware used to have with their companions like with HK-47. It's something I haven't felt from Bioware in a good while.

The Companions where the next big hit to me. I am not a fan of Larians Origin Characters. I love the near to DAO idee of The Dark Urge. But it looks like i haven't the right Alignment for Larian. I play good or neutral only sometime evil. Also it is possible to play a good/redemption Dark Urge character. And while I haven't done it myself, given the nature of the Dark Urge, people who have said it's quite meaningful. The game actually ENCOURAGES you to resist the urges while playing as the Dark Urge. It is not an evil character. The ship part is also like ... 5-10 mins. As far as tutorials go it's extremely quick. It's not like the 3 hour, save after you do it so you never have to do it again, start of RDR2 The easily missable parts of BG3 is why replaying the game is so impactful. New content to discover. And not only is there stuff you can easily miss BUT there is stuff you will never be able to do in one playthrough. Just like the good old days :3 But yeah, the ending ... someone mod that please xD

It's not really something that's fully come out via the LP but man the companions seem to be pretty universally...not nice people. Yet some of them are extremely attractive,in one way or another, people. I'm confused.

Halsin is def not evil and is the most pure of all companion. There's minsc and Jalheira.
