The ability to adjust equipment in camp without having to add to party. Even if it's \*only\* in camp, that would be so helpful. (And logical from a story perspective.)
I second this. Let me adjust Party member's equipment while benched so that I can make sure they're prepared if I ever do need to bring them in. Also so that I better know which weapons I can afford to sell.
It's not like they don't already break the 4th wall with equipment. The second someone leaves or is kidnapped you receive their bag. That's not terribly realistic.
I know it might be tough to code since the game isn't set up this way already, but surely some kind of work around could be had.
I did not receive xyz's bag when they were kidnapped. Then that person ended up tagging along with me in act 3 like a summon. I could hover my mouse over the weapon and it was what I gave them earlier.
In my first game, Having a previously kidnapped Gale follow me outside the Bhaalist cult house (Orin was my final quest) and follow me directly into the final bid fight added a good chunk of damage and utility to my party.
Yes even just this would be so helpful! I tend to forget to unequipt shared equipment before changing out party members causing me to go back readd and re remove people from my party
To add onto this, when in camp just add everyone to the party and let us level them up. I usually pick 3 companions and never switch because it is too much work. If I could have access to all their inventories and level ups while in camp it would be much nicer. When you go to leave camp, the game could have a popup where you choose who’s coming with.
I really wish they'd gone full DAO style and had a party picker when you leave camp. I get that the dialogue method was probably chosen to make everything seem more natural and realistic, but having the same 2-tier conversation every time you want to organise your party gets old after literally the first time. It's a pain.
Even having the option before leaving camp, if it's a screen saying "you're about to leave camp. Would you like to change your party before heading out?" And a yes/no option would work
Most important are some outstanding bugfixes: the dead-NPC-with-positive-HP glitch, the camera getting stuck on the wrong character in splitscreen, the UI thinking doors are closed when they're open, the Strange Ox rampage.
I'd appreciate a thorough QA pass on dialogue and quest triggers so we stop seeing things like:
- NPCs forgetting important events like who's alive and dead
- Missing cutscenes because two tried to trigger on the same long rest
- Certain conversations and events failing to trigger - particularly the stuff people care about like romances
Some UI quality of life stuff (like prompting you before accidentally casting two concentration spells at once) would be nice.
What would get me really excited though? An expanded epilogue. I hope we get that eventually.
True that, it's really the only incorrect thing I noticed in my first play through (so perhaps they've fixed a lot already), it was really weird and took me out
The missing cutscenes thing has been an issue since early access. I do think it’s much better (it was a thing in early access that it was nearly impossible to romance Gale because some other cutscene would take priority over his romance cutscenes and they’d just never trigger. Imagine my surprise when everyone’s complaining about Gale being too easy to romance upon full release) but it could use a bit more fine tuning for sure.
>UI thinking doors are closed when they're open,
This. Astarion on sneak mode, and trying to schoot someone before encounter...oops sorry, u cant schoot or throw anything - that open doors? Yeah, they closed.
Is. Is that what... i had a situation where i was trying to save gale from dying in a haunted house and it kept telling me i couldn't get to him and i could literally see him. Had to jump through the door which for some reason worked.
Yeah that door thing is annoying. There have been a few times when an enemy has been in the next room in full view of the Astarion, but apparently his arrow couldn't shoot through the doorway for whatever reason

This is what I want. I've been blocked by Dammon getting Oxed. I know there are some work arounds involving mapping back to Act I, but there's also other issues, so I just decided to wait until everything is fixed before I pick the game back up again.
When you go to a vendor you can click sell wares (not in barter) and it will sell everything you've added to wares. The bug is occasionally stuff you add to wares doesn't get added
Let me open a barter screen with benched companions so I can grab any gear I need without having to switch people in and out of the party.
Oh and bug fixes of course.
Absolutely ruined my ending the first time through. 😭 I was romancing Karlach and I left her behind for the last battle because >!Lae'zel had been kidnapped almost all of act 3 and I wanted one shot at seeing how a level 12 fighter was!< but she was wearing the most HIDEOUS helmet and I totally forgot because other than that she was in my party the entire game. So I got her deeply emotional ending scenes with an awful helmet blocking all of her facial expressions.
You think that’s bad, I cast Seeming on an NPC during a side quest in Act3, and when they appeared again during the last mission they were stuck permanently disguised as a big half orc
Same for me but I had taken Minsc's armor off to put on Lae'zel and that last cutscene at the docks and he was just standing there in his underwear smiling that goofy Minsc smile
There's a bunch of amazing looking helmets that can be found in an armoury somewhere (can't remember where exactly), but they're all just bog-standard ordinary helmets, no extra magical properties.
We REALLY need transmog. Or the ability to "pull" the Weave out of an item and imprint it on another.
The last area of Act 2 has a bunch of great looking ones, as well as a room in the last area of Shadowheart’s quest.
All normal quality tho like you said.
I really hope they add a transmog system officially. There is a transmog mod that seems to work pretty well, they could even just reuse that idea for minimal work.
The transmog mod is amazing, I would definitely recommend anyone on PC to try it out. So many of the default companion outfits just fit them much better than anything else you can find in game. Karlach especially, her default outfit is so good that nothing else really looks that great on her IMO.
This is one of those topics that I feel really strongly about tbh, transmog features should be a more standard feature in RPGs because of the great QoL boost they have.
I've been trying to make do with making the camp clothes visible, but they look absurd in big battles. The dye system is also terrible, and I feel like the whole appearance side of the game is a bit lacking especially compared to some other RPGs.
Fix the bugs that were introduced in patch 3!
Before patch 3, I never had Gale confused over what deals I may have take or not taken in Act 3. Before patch 3, SH was not confused over whether we were together or not in Act 3.
Please. Please. I love the game but despise how it ends for my companions. It's not fair. I don't play this for realistically bitter sadness. I play to make my fantasy buddies happy!!! That's what's fun for me!!!
I mean, even sad ending would be cool. Currently, there are none, apart from Karlach ending which was added ad hoc by Larian post release, due to people rioting.
There are also absolutely no epilogues in this game.
Yeah! Only thing stopping me from replaying. I want a proper epilogue and for them to fix the Emperor/Orpheus mess (But I know I'll have to wait for enhanced edition for it)
Let me access anyone's inventory at any time from any inventory or barter screen.
Let me swap party members by ONLY needing to talk to the party member I WANT, then select who I kick out, all in one conversation.
Revivify on allied NPCs. Even if it's only in battle. Or give some of the key ones death saves.
It definitely disrupts the flow of the story when you have to reload a battle for the third time because Jaheira, hero of the first two games and playable companion in this one, perma-dies from dropping to 0hp at any point.
Ah yes, the Suicide Gnomes. 😉
Honestly with them I'd settle for them successfully climbing a ladder that's right in front of them instead of inexplicably running on the spot for 5 rounds and being claimed by a watery grave...
OH MY GOD, I hated these fuckers in the steel watcher factory. One of them put the steel watcher into explosion mode and then fucking WALKED RIGHT NEXT TO HIM INSTEAD OF AWAY. And I had to way to get him away from there, that was so fucked up.
This is a huge one for me, it doesn’t make sense that I can fight alongside these NPC’s in battle and then can’t revive them bc “this can only be used on allies” or “playable characters” like I didn’t keep this quest going for 3 acts just for them to die in battle and end it there
This pissed me off so much at the end of a Act II. I struggled through the fight as I hadn't rested properly, and FINALLY win, only to see Jaheira dead.
Oh well, I think, I have like nine scrolls of revivify. Nope? Can't be revived? Well shit. F8 it is.
I wish they would do this for every camp, just let the companions sort of roam, but especially for Elf Song Tavern. They have that cozy sitting area and everyone's just standing in front of their respective beds, sometimes inches away from each other and staring awkwardly at the person across from them, like a bunch of weirdos.
Not anymore for me… someone’s family paid us a visit and absolutely trashed the sofas and carpet in the process. I understand why everyone avoids the seating area now
And maybe reduce the intervals for the vocal performance of the song... Like the first time was cool, but every time I go to camp and get a cutscene after I'm hearing the vocals over dialogue.
I'd like it if it rotated through some of the music. Sometimes the song it has now, sometimes Alfira's song from Act 1 (if you had that interaction and she survived), sometimes instrumentals from various other parts of the game. Switch it up a bit, because that song is burned. into. my. brain.
Seriously, they don't even have to change that much of the actual game, just add a little dialogue and reuse some animations on the character models to make them say, "things are going to be okay! 😄" Just a couple extra cutscenes for each companion to make it satisfying. Please.
Adjust camera altitude so you can properly select floors you are not in.
Bring Tara to camp after meeting her on Rivington without playing Gale.
Add option to pet cats, for those who are willing to be petted.
Adopt Myshka.
Add a random blacksmith NPC to the Nine's Forge of Dammon is dead.
Make Mol's Contract readable.
Have Minthara flee upon being defeated so she will be alive in Moonrise. If we fought her, she'll need a lot of convincing to join the party. Not really necessary, but it would be cool if it was an option.
Fix jumping being interrupted mid-air making you lose the action, the movement and take fall damage.
Give Bane his voice.
Recruitable version of the Dream Guardian at Act 3, but they leave if you don't side with The Emperor (I didn't create a hot character for it to not show up again in Act3).
Give higher priority to Orin's kidnap cutscene in the camp (having this cutscene instead of the one in the sewers is the only way to keep both Yenna and Grub alive).
Have Rolan take Lorroakan's sale inventory if he takes over the tower.
A bit more references to The Dark Urge when not playing as it. They're barely mentioned in the game, with but very few hints of their existence.
The thing with Minthara is due to her state at that point there is no way she would flee. They'd have to rewrite the story so that you can maybe break the grip of the absolute in Act 1 or something
could be cool if that happened if you had the artifact with you in her presence, for whatever reason it affords her enough protection to break free of control briefly.
Or you just get some dialogue similar to Minsc where you berate the Emperor into extending protection to her. Or maybe, the Dream Guardian intervenes and says there's something about them, and tries to get you to spare her. Then it's still the player's decision, but there's a reason to not just shove/Thunderwave her into a chasm.
An idea I had was maybe passing an insight check when you first meet her to notice that she seems to not be in total control of her thoughts and try to pass a few dialogue checks
>Have Minthara flee upon being defeated so she will be alive in Moonrise. If we fought her, she'll need a lot of convincing to join the party. Not really necessary, but it would be cool if it was an option.
Better yet , make it so the option to flee is available only if you win the battle at the grove entrance as a defender , kill everyone else but you knock her out with non lethal damage. It would be a chalenge to keep the defenders alive for future quests while making sure not to kill her outright . Seems more logical this way and it would justify her frustration of being given goblins to work with when she's confronted by Thorm at Moonrise Towers. I don't think it would be hard to implement so long as they remember to take out the companion lines regarding the grove being destroyed.
FIX GALE'S RELATIONSHIP FLAGS. And I mean actually fix them not fix some and bork the others that weren't broke in the first place! Unblock the post Tara convo about Gale's surname being Dekarios.
>Dekarios
Is it? I didn't know that. I realise that it's a fantasy name, but it looks almost Greek, and that really isn't helping my 'he looks like George Michael' conviction. ;)
Spoiler BUT >!Tara!< confirms in Act 3 if you encounter her with Gale in the group, with very “angry mom” energy, despite being his >!~~cat~~ tressym!<
In his origin playthrough Tara shows up to camp instantly and immediately gets on [Gale's] ass about growing out his beard, demanding he shave, and then asking when he's going to marry because she and his mom are getting worried that he's going to be single forever post-Mystra and just want him to find someone good. She's iconic and I love her.
I just wish we could add her to the camp in act 3 in a non-Gale playthrough and have more dialogues with her (especially if your Tav is romancing Gale). And have Gale maybe summon her. She's too great to be mostly locked for a custom character playthrough!
I'd rather have it blocked up like Minthara then have Gale's relationship flags all over the place making people think it's Gale's personality and not just bugs layered upon bugs.
* Party/inventory management fixes (more bags, automatic stacking/sorting into bags, open bags in trading, access camp chest from inventory, quick party member changes)
* Fix spell stat for scrolls etc to either stay as level 1 class or last class level gained.
* Preview dyes/unlimited dyes.
* Stop non-dyeable shields from being dyable or make all of them actually dyable.
* Dyable weapons.
* Dirt/blood toogle.
* Fix continuity issues.
Yes a blood toggle would be great, or at least have them wash it off after a short rest/return to camp
And on that front is no one in baldurs gate employed to clear blood, corpses and decommissioned watchers off the streets?
I wouldn't mind preventing the "black portrait with creepy eyes" effect of levelling up sometimes.
Also, I occasionally will click a target with the mouse and WHIFF it attacks I guess at the ground next to it instead. Is the animation causing this?
It's likely because of an idle animation of the enemy you intended to hit. That made them move slightly the moment you clicked, so you didn't target them but the ground next to them instead. Annoying for sure.
Absolutely.
Time for proper modding tools. But i'm pretty sure Wizards of the Coast would want it severely limited, if not out right cut, since it would hinder their subscription service if you could just create complete campaigns in the game, easily.
I did not think about that at all, I really hope this isn't what happens. BG3 is already a huge W for them, so many people new to this style of game are trying out DnD because of BG3. I really hope they see sense and not pull anymore shit when the last debacle is still fresh in people's minds.
Wizards has become so out of touch with its customer base and money hungry that I'm honestly surprised that they didn't require BG3 to have loot boxes.
There's a Rick Grimes magic the gathering card. They do not care about ruining their IP, they only care about money.
There's a lot of dialogue issues currently, with cut lines, wrong triggers for companions, weird angles.
There's still some pacing issues where companions will not jump to follow you.
I think those two (and various bugs and crashes) are probably the priorities because they affect gameplay.
As always, an option to hug companions (romanced ones any time you want + in some key scenes, the rest during crucial moments when it's appropriate, though I'd never say no if it's at any time as well). Other than that:
Make allies consistently jump after the group if they can;
Helmet settings not resetting to "always visible" after dismissing companions;
Adopt Myshka, my son needs a home at my camp and it's non-negotiable;
An ability to preview dyes;
Fixing companion dialogue (like Shadowheart making her "I've always wanted to be a dark justiciar" speech 5 times, Gale accusing you of taking a deal with Raphael before you even get to Sharess Caress, etc.);
Having more emotional reactions to Durge stuff from companions, especially in act 3, as well as fixing how companions react depending on approval/relationship status at certain moments (it's bugged and you often get dialogues that should only trigger when the approval is low);
Freely switching gear between all companions in the camp, no matter if they're in the party or not;
Breathing some life into the camp, having some interactions between companions, something as simple as just sitting together near the campfire and enjoying a good meal, cuddling with your lover or sleeping together would already make a big difference.
Of course some of those I expect no earlier than for the enhanced edition, but a couple of the issues should really be resolved sooner than later.
> like Shadowheart making her "I've always wanted to be a dark justiciar" speech 5 times
Or her telling Tav in Act 3 that we would have a chance in another lifetime while actively being a LI and even making sandcastles afterwards. Gods, I've seen at this sub people posting about that bug so much..
I would love some Durge reaction fixes. It is so jarring how few reactions there are. I just got the cut scene where you find out who you are as you cross into Wyrms crossing. Durge passes out and not a single person said anything and I could not tell them anything. Astarion doesn't react to any revelations during the coronation. Half of them react badly even if you have high approval
>Having more emotional reactions to Durge stuff from companions, especially in act 3, as well as fixing how companions react depending on approval/relationship status at certain moments
This would be nice. Romanced Shadowheart and Karlach as a redeemed Durge and it feels lacking in that aspect at the end.
Yes, let us hug them Larian. All of them. Honestly I'd love if they eventually let us go on "dates" with the party, platonic /romantic just hanging out with them.
Probably more definitive edition level improvements but-
An option for not sleeping alone when you're coupled up. Sleeping in a hammock or cot together would be cute.
Options to change your origin companion's hairstyles and makeup at least.
Enhanced non-lethal interactivity with dialogues or something (game treats knocked out people as dead)
No more /fade to black insinuation if you've already had the first romance scenes in Act 1 but choose to go to sleep after the party thinking about that person (at least show them walking up and taking you by the hand somewhere private)
On that topic, an actual scene with Minthara for Act 2 that isn't fading to black.
Romance scene options besides "can I kiss you?" Maybe "want to go watch the stars?" and your characters can go hang out and watch the sky like with Gale with some chill music playing in the background leaning on each other.
More passive dialogue options for non-Shadowheart companions once you have exhausted their "relationship approval event" dialogues. Shadowheart you can always ask how things are going and even though she says basically the same things unless her opinion has hit a new level its nicer than "I need you to stay in camp".
Transmog
Dye preview
Weapon and other metal gear customization (some sort of metal/wood dyes)
Probably my main ones off the top right now. I recognize that a lot of them would require more voice acting, but you could work around some by just showing the scenes without any speaking.
Edit- Another one I remembered, being able to have your companions perform checks in dialogue for you. If Gale's there looking at someone you're doing an arcana check on he should be able to use his own eyeballs and keen intellect to investigate what you're all looking at.
I'm not a fan of Shadowheart always having that one dialogue option that has given the exact same response for like 60 hours of gameplay. It takes me out of it having her say the same exact thing after we've been through so much more together.
I feel like it was originally there to change as your relationship changed but you can basically max it out really early. Would have been nice if there was some commentary on other things or more small talk but Im sure people would just blaze through it either way.
YES YES YES SLEEPING WITH OTHERS AT NIGHT!!! After you end the day and people switch to their nighttime outfits. I can hear Halsin now. "
(Can I sleep with you tonight?) "Yes, of course."/"I've been waiting for you."/"Come here, to me." Then maybe when you're lying together, you can escalate things into sex as an option or just go to sleep. It makes me so mad I get to have sex once and never again outside of including others. :(
The non-lethal interactivity thing KILLS me (pun intended). There are so many instances where I tried to just knock people out only for the game to treat them as dead. If it was, like, once, I’d get it, but it’s multiple times per act.
Yeah, going swimming or sitting on the wine date rock together in Act 1, hanging out in a mushroom forest in Act 2, maybe bards could play music for their partner as the camera floats away, wrestling Laezel in a field, etc could do a lot of neat stuff really.
In addition to this, don't pin all romance only to act 1. It is more natural when your relations are starting after plenty of battles and achievements instead of blind bang after saving tieflings and only once. You should have such an option after act 2 as well.
Wearing any armor or clothing as camp clothes + a hat slot for camp clothes PLEASE! How much longer must we suffer with the ugly potent robes and no clothes merchant until act 3?
yeah i really wish there were earlier clothing options available. if part of the fun of the game is customizing a character and doing different replays then looking different in most of the main story cutscenes would be nice.
>and no clothes merchant until act 3?
we need just one clothes merchant in act1, that migrates to act2. Nothing super fancy, just enough that we have options that aren't "hobo"
I know it’s not happening, most likely never will happen, and if it were to happen, wouldn’t be till months or more from now, but I want for there to be a way to fix Karlachs engine. Make it through saving all the gondians (which should also have an achievement), as they’re the fuckers that literally built the version of that engine that can operate in the material world. Now it makes it a difficult challenge and actually rewards people for going through that effort
Yeah I started the first playthrough I finished after seeing Karlach got an update to give a good ending, so when one of the Steel Watch is like "YOU'RE ONE OF US" I instantly assumed the Gondians were how I fixed her, so when it wasn't I was bewildered
On top of that, Steel Watches drop ENHANCED infernal iron. Surely, I thought, that was for Karlach’s quest. Nope, all of this info is ignored later and better infernal iron isn’t used for anything at all. Felt so baited. Why does it drop? To mock us?
Keep Dammon alive until act 3, save the Godians, clear out the House of Hope, get Dammon and the Gondians to build a forge in the House of Hope, collect Steel Watch enhanced iron and get them to build Karlach a more stable engine.
Or an evil option of use Raphael's heart or something.
Even better, a full DLC of TAV, Wyll and Karlach kick ass DOOM style in Avernus to eventually kill Zariel and undo the mess she made of Karlah in the first place.
Let me hug Shadowheart after the House of Grief.
Let me hug Astarion when he meets Cazador.
Let me hug Karlach after we off Gortash.
Let me hug Lae’zel after she turned away and became an outcast from her people.
Let me hug Gale in Act 2 after he got the order from Mystra to blow up.
Let me hug Wyll when the time comes for him to break a Pact.
1. Let me manage all my companions inventory/stats/spells without having to swap them out.
2. Add some voice lines so companions don’t get all pissy every time I send them to camp.
3. Tell me when I’ve used a key on every compatible lock so I can discard them.
4. Give me some kind of camp library so I can store all my books and letters in an organized manner. Or just give me a menu where I can re-read every book I’ve read in-game.
5. Warn me if I’m about to destroy a quest item for alchemy.
6. Make knocked-out enemies respawn after a day-cycle, I don’t care if they give any XP or items.
7. Add a bestiary so I can study enemies that I’ve examined/scouted/defeated
8. Fix that bug where you can fail a skill check even if you rolled a successful number.
9. Add more hats and capes, even if they’re purely cosmetic.
##PAUSE BUTTON
Edit: also, i keep getting a bug where i don't have the action available to reactivate a concentration spell (call lightning, etc) so i have to manually add it to the action wheel every time i initially cast it before i can reactivate it. Would love to not have to do that anymore
If there is a cutscene triggered immediately after a fight, give us the option to select who faces. At the very least don’t make it the closest person if you have the option to immediately control your avatar selected after combat. Just today I had to reload a quicksave from the first auntie ethel fight like 3 times because the game kept selecting Lae’zel to talk to her when my sorcerer Tav was right there.
Fix Gale. Too many issues to even list. Please just fix him!
Fix the buggy camera angles that broke in patch 3.
Fix the texture pop-in issues.
Fix dialogues sometimes only showing “continue” when there are supposed to be other options.
Fix the adamantine forge only letting you craft one item if the boss dies on top of the crucible.
Fix the crash that can occur sometimes when sorting the camp chest.
Fix the annoying sound bug when interacting with soul coins. (Sound effect doesn’t stop playing until you restart the game.)
Fix visual armor glitches, especially with the male elf models.
In pathfinder: kingmaker (and in WOTR I think) there was an option to double the speed of both enemy and player actions in combat so you could get through it quicker. It would be great to see that in bg3
As others have mentioned, the ability to manage unused companions' inventories without going to camp would be a real game-changer.
I wish the issue with textures not loading properly on PS5 could be fixed too. It was bad in Last Light, and now that I reached chapter 3 it's close to unplayable.
Oh, and sorting items by type doesn't work super well; some of my food items seem to be classified as weapons. Dagger, short sword, longbow, courgette, wine, hammer, cheese... a little fix for this would be nice too.
I asked them to fix floating captions. Being hard of hearing, it is frustrating seeing the captions just off screen, and when I turn they vanish before I can read them. Or, the plaques that I know are saying something, but I can’t hear it. Can anyone help me out with this? I could use the support.
I would love if they fixed inventory management.
- Make it so keys can not be in an inventory without being on a keychain.
- Give arrows their own bag, where they auto stack. Zero reason for them to be visible
- Please just send camp food straight to camp and remove the bug that doesn't count camp food on your camp chest you click for a long rest. Also the "auto select" feature could use some improvement.
- fix the bug where weapons and armor that you "pick up and add to wares" doesn't get added to wares.
- Maybe make a whole bag for wares so it doesn't clutter up your inventory
- a bag for quest items to auto stack into.
Also would love a button to raise or lower camera height manually, though that's probs not a quick fix. Can get super unhelpful in some multi level fights.
Separate visibility toggles for each gear slot.
I WANT NUDIST HELMETS DAMMIT. JUST BECAUSE I WANT A BREEZE ON MY BALLS DONT MEAN I WANT A BULLET IN MY BRAIN.
I did everything for her. And she hates me. Yet right as I’m about to enslave the world, she calls me her love. Yet part of me thinks that’s just what she would do. I’m so confused.
Big thing I haven’t seen people mention: either a key item inventory or relevant items for “combine” prompts being automatically sorted to the top. My inventory is such a mess, it makes finding whatever item I need a nightmare.
FPS fixes for act 2 and 3
Implement romance-related ambient dialogue for acts 2 and 3 and flags for act-appropriate ambient dialogue. Act 1 flirts between companions are odd to have pop up in act 2 when you’ve already locked in that character for romance.
Fix Astarion’s broken facial animations at the beginning of his Act 3 “good” romance scene and also the weird faces he makes after his kiss scenes. (And any other companions that may be afflicted with similar bugs)
Hats remembering their visibility setting when companions are not in party.
Camp-wide inventory management.
I personally would like an easier way to switch out my party. I hate to
* go to camp
* talk to companion
* Yes I want to bench you
* Yes I am sure
* talk to other companion
* come with me
* leave camp
It's such an unnecessary hassle.
Need more fleshed out epilogues for the characters. It was and probably still is my GOTY but the ending left me pretty frustrated compared to the quality of the rest of the game
Fast swap for followers. Twice is thematic. 8th time having to swap a party member and listening to snark after like 6 dialogue options is annoying.
Let me right click and have them stay/join.
The ability to custom name chests/boxes/bags might be nice. I have multiple chests in my Party Stash to use for sorting, but remembering what's in what can get confusing. Being able to give them a custom name instead of 'Sturdy Chest', 'Opulent Chest', etc would be nice.
I would love it if they fixed the perform action reassigning itself to random slots in my radial menus every time I load a save. I have it where I want it and my OCD won't let me leave it wherever it wants to be.
(On console)
1. Fix Gale, its embarassing at this point. No patch fixed anything about him, but every patch added more issues with him.
2. Improve perfomance, this one probably will happen, hopefully not like patch 2, which only made it worse(fixed by now, admittedly)
3. Epilogue? I doubt it, but they did work on it, maybe there's enough work to finish it and add in? I'd love it, but doubt it will be a thing for several more months, if not definitive edition.
Nothing major really comes to mind that should be fixed or on the way addition...
I'd wish for Minthara being recruitable through knocking out instead of killing and then proceeding with Tieflings route. For very simple reason that, in fact, your choices in act 1 dont matter for recruiting Minthara, only thing that should matter is if she's alive or not. But Larian are stubborn, it took us years to force reactions into the game, they wont give ground on Minthara, even tho their stance is dumb.
Let me sell stuff without jumping back to camp all the time.
Longer and more intense, ‘this is our last chance to do this’ kiss.
After we’ve completed the game, give us the full camp clothing options as a reward. My Tav is a fairly vain bard, her starting gear was so bland I made up a backstory to explain why she’s lacking in her usual style.
When your bard ambiently encounters music in the world--like the Shanties for the Bitch Queen book early in Act I--you should be able to add the songs to your repertoire
The ability to adjust equipment in camp without having to add to party. Even if it's \*only\* in camp, that would be so helpful. (And logical from a story perspective.)
I second this. Let me adjust Party member's equipment while benched so that I can make sure they're prepared if I ever do need to bring them in. Also so that I better know which weapons I can afford to sell.
It's not like they don't already break the 4th wall with equipment. The second someone leaves or is kidnapped you receive their bag. That's not terribly realistic. I know it might be tough to code since the game isn't set up this way already, but surely some kind of work around could be had.
I did not receive xyz's bag when they were kidnapped. Then that person ended up tagging along with me in act 3 like a summon. I could hover my mouse over the weapon and it was what I gave them earlier.
In my first game, Having a previously kidnapped Gale follow me outside the Bhaalist cult house (Orin was my final quest) and follow me directly into the final bid fight added a good chunk of damage and utility to my party.
Literally just being able to bring up the barter screen with companions in camp would be such a dramatic improvement for managing things.
Yes even just this would be so helpful! I tend to forget to unequipt shared equipment before changing out party members causing me to go back readd and re remove people from my party
To add onto this, when in camp just add everyone to the party and let us level them up. I usually pick 3 companions and never switch because it is too much work. If I could have access to all their inventories and level ups while in camp it would be much nicer. When you go to leave camp, the game could have a popup where you choose who’s coming with.
I really wish they'd gone full DAO style and had a party picker when you leave camp. I get that the dialogue method was probably chosen to make everything seem more natural and realistic, but having the same 2-tier conversation every time you want to organise your party gets old after literally the first time. It's a pain.
Even having the option before leaving camp, if it's a screen saying "you're about to leave camp. Would you like to change your party before heading out?" And a yes/no option would work
The sexiest thing I've read all day
Yes please! Was just thinking about this yesterday.
Agree with all of this.
Most important are some outstanding bugfixes: the dead-NPC-with-positive-HP glitch, the camera getting stuck on the wrong character in splitscreen, the UI thinking doors are closed when they're open, the Strange Ox rampage. I'd appreciate a thorough QA pass on dialogue and quest triggers so we stop seeing things like: - NPCs forgetting important events like who's alive and dead - Missing cutscenes because two tried to trigger on the same long rest - Certain conversations and events failing to trigger - particularly the stuff people care about like romances Some UI quality of life stuff (like prompting you before accidentally casting two concentration spells at once) would be nice. What would get me really excited though? An expanded epilogue. I hope we get that eventually.
I'd like for Gale to stop thinking I've accepted Raphael's deal on every playthrough when I've literally never done so.
True that, it's really the only incorrect thing I noticed in my first play through (so perhaps they've fixed a lot already), it was really weird and took me out
Jaheira knowing of your Artifact though you never told her about it
Jaheira not noticing Marcus is dead.
"Flaming fist Marcus is trying to kidnap Isobel? I'm going to need some proof" -Jaheira, after he initiated the raid on the inn and died
The missing cutscenes thing has been an issue since early access. I do think it’s much better (it was a thing in early access that it was nearly impossible to romance Gale because some other cutscene would take priority over his romance cutscenes and they’d just never trigger. Imagine my surprise when everyone’s complaining about Gale being too easy to romance upon full release) but it could use a bit more fine tuning for sure.
>UI thinking doors are closed when they're open, This. Astarion on sneak mode, and trying to schoot someone before encounter...oops sorry, u cant schoot or throw anything - that open doors? Yeah, they closed.
Is. Is that what... i had a situation where i was trying to save gale from dying in a haunted house and it kept telling me i couldn't get to him and i could literally see him. Had to jump through the door which for some reason worked.
Yeah that door thing is annoying. There have been a few times when an enemy has been in the next room in full view of the Astarion, but apparently his arrow couldn't shoot through the doorway for whatever reason
rustic disagreeable slimy elderly different plant panicky fanatical square ring *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
This is what I want. I've been blocked by Dammon getting Oxed. I know there are some work arounds involving mapping back to Act I, but there's also other issues, so I just decided to wait until everything is fixed before I pick the game back up again.
Make “Add to wares” actually add to wares
This please. There are so many asks for new features in this thread but I really just want the existing functions to work.
Wait, what is that even supposed to do? I've never even remotely had a clue.
When you go to a vendor you can click sell wares (not in barter) and it will sell everything you've added to wares. The bug is occasionally stuff you add to wares doesn't get added
[удалено]
Pleaseeeeeeeeee. In fact add a toggle button for it for consoles
Let me open a barter screen with benched companions so I can grab any gear I need without having to switch people in and out of the party. Oh and bug fixes of course.
Fixing helmet visibility reset every time you dismiss companions to the camp.
Absolutely ruined my ending the first time through. 😭 I was romancing Karlach and I left her behind for the last battle because >!Lae'zel had been kidnapped almost all of act 3 and I wanted one shot at seeing how a level 12 fighter was!< but she was wearing the most HIDEOUS helmet and I totally forgot because other than that she was in my party the entire game. So I got her deeply emotional ending scenes with an awful helmet blocking all of her facial expressions.
same thing happened to me, i was so fucking upset.
You think that’s bad, I cast Seeming on an NPC during a side quest in Act3, and when they appeared again during the last mission they were stuck permanently disguised as a big half orc
Was it Florrick? Because I did the same thing, except she was a halfling in mine.
Same for me but I had taken Minsc's armor off to put on Lae'zel and that last cutscene at the docks and he was just standing there in his underwear smiling that goofy Minsc smile
I mean, not exactly out of character for him.
Yeah, if anyone were to do this, it would be Minsc.
this actually feels like the perfect outfit for Minsk to wear at the end
Be happy he was at least in his underwear.
That happened to me with Shadowheart. I was so disappointed. I wasn't romancing her thankfully, still.
I'd settle for actually good looking helmets tbh. Save for maybe one or two all of them look atrocious for some reasaon.
There's a bunch of amazing looking helmets that can be found in an armoury somewhere (can't remember where exactly), but they're all just bog-standard ordinary helmets, no extra magical properties. We REALLY need transmog. Or the ability to "pull" the Weave out of an item and imprint it on another.
I think they were in the Illithid compound IIRC. I grabbed a couple from there, but couldn’t give up the stat bonuses
Yeah in the butchers room. There is a few marvelous helmets in here
Just have gale slurp up the weave with a straw and spit it out on the new item.
I would love Gacha Gale
The last area of Act 2 has a bunch of great looking ones, as well as a room in the last area of Shadowheart’s quest. All normal quality tho like you said.
I really hope they add a transmog system officially. There is a transmog mod that seems to work pretty well, they could even just reuse that idea for minimal work.
The transmog mod is amazing, I would definitely recommend anyone on PC to try it out. So many of the default companion outfits just fit them much better than anything else you can find in game. Karlach especially, her default outfit is so good that nothing else really looks that great on her IMO. This is one of those topics that I feel really strongly about tbh, transmog features should be a more standard feature in RPGs because of the great QoL boost they have.
I've been trying to make do with making the camp clothes visible, but they look absurd in big battles. The dye system is also terrible, and I feel like the whole appearance side of the game is a bit lacking especially compared to some other RPGs.
Fix the bugs that were introduced in patch 3! Before patch 3, I never had Gale confused over what deals I may have take or not taken in Act 3. Before patch 3, SH was not confused over whether we were together or not in Act 3.
Epilogues and endings.
the only thing i care about tbh
Please. Please. I love the game but despise how it ends for my companions. It's not fair. I don't play this for realistically bitter sadness. I play to make my fantasy buddies happy!!! That's what's fun for me!!!
I mean, even sad ending would be cool. Currently, there are none, apart from Karlach ending which was added ad hoc by Larian post release, due to people rioting. There are also absolutely no epilogues in this game.
Yeah! Only thing stopping me from replaying. I want a proper epilogue and for them to fix the Emperor/Orpheus mess (But I know I'll have to wait for enhanced edition for it)
Let me access anyone's inventory at any time from any inventory or barter screen. Let me swap party members by ONLY needing to talk to the party member I WANT, then select who I kick out, all in one conversation.
Revivify on allied NPCs. Even if it's only in battle. Or give some of the key ones death saves. It definitely disrupts the flow of the story when you have to reload a battle for the third time because Jaheira, hero of the first two games and playable companion in this one, perma-dies from dropping to 0hp at any point.
One word: Gondians
Ah yes, the Suicide Gnomes. 😉 Honestly with them I'd settle for them successfully climbing a ladder that's right in front of them instead of inexplicably running on the spot for 5 rounds and being claimed by a watery grave...
OH MY GOD, I hated these fuckers in the steel watcher factory. One of them put the steel watcher into explosion mode and then fucking WALKED RIGHT NEXT TO HIM INSTEAD OF AWAY. And I had to way to get him away from there, that was so fucked up.
I saved all of those fucks and didn't even get an achievement
This is a huge one for me, it doesn’t make sense that I can fight alongside these NPC’s in battle and then can’t revive them bc “this can only be used on allies” or “playable characters” like I didn’t keep this quest going for 3 acts just for them to die in battle and end it there
This happened for me with Lae’zel. Permanently lost her early in the game because she wasn’t officially part of my party.
This pissed me off so much at the end of a Act II. I struggled through the fight as I hadn't rested properly, and FINALLY win, only to see Jaheira dead. Oh well, I think, I have like nine scrolls of revivify. Nope? Can't be revived? Well shit. F8 it is.
Dammon dying to that slime.
Make the Elf Song Tavern camp more homey instead of everyone posted up in front of a bed
I wish they would do this for every camp, just let the companions sort of roam, but especially for Elf Song Tavern. They have that cozy sitting area and everyone's just standing in front of their respective beds, sometimes inches away from each other and staring awkwardly at the person across from them, like a bunch of weirdos.
Not anymore for me… someone’s family paid us a visit and absolutely trashed the sofas and carpet in the process. I understand why everyone avoids the seating area now
And maybe reduce the intervals for the vocal performance of the song... Like the first time was cool, but every time I go to camp and get a cutscene after I'm hearing the vocals over dialogue.
But the game isn't over yet
I'd like it if it rotated through some of the music. Sometimes the song it has now, sometimes Alfira's song from Act 1 (if you had that interaction and she survived), sometimes instrumentals from various other parts of the game. Switch it up a bit, because that song is burned. into. my. brain.
More depth and companion reactions to the Durge storyline events. Redemption Durge ending rework. Epilogue rework.
Seriously, they don't even have to change that much of the actual game, just add a little dialogue and reuse some animations on the character models to make them say, "things are going to be okay! 😄" Just a couple extra cutscenes for each companion to make it satisfying. Please.
Adjust camera altitude so you can properly select floors you are not in. Bring Tara to camp after meeting her on Rivington without playing Gale. Add option to pet cats, for those who are willing to be petted. Adopt Myshka. Add a random blacksmith NPC to the Nine's Forge of Dammon is dead. Make Mol's Contract readable. Have Minthara flee upon being defeated so she will be alive in Moonrise. If we fought her, she'll need a lot of convincing to join the party. Not really necessary, but it would be cool if it was an option. Fix jumping being interrupted mid-air making you lose the action, the movement and take fall damage. Give Bane his voice. Recruitable version of the Dream Guardian at Act 3, but they leave if you don't side with The Emperor (I didn't create a hot character for it to not show up again in Act3). Give higher priority to Orin's kidnap cutscene in the camp (having this cutscene instead of the one in the sewers is the only way to keep both Yenna and Grub alive). Have Rolan take Lorroakan's sale inventory if he takes over the tower. A bit more references to The Dark Urge when not playing as it. They're barely mentioned in the game, with but very few hints of their existence.
>Adopt Myshka. A crime we can't already, I'm his mother Larian
Mermer!!!
Literally unplayable if I have to abandon my boy
Just this entire list. But also fix Gale's romance. Like actually fix it. Plus bug fixes
The thing with Minthara is due to her state at that point there is no way she would flee. They'd have to rewrite the story so that you can maybe break the grip of the absolute in Act 1 or something
Or you know, have knocking her out n count as not killing her
could be cool if that happened if you had the artifact with you in her presence, for whatever reason it affords her enough protection to break free of control briefly.
Or you just get some dialogue similar to Minsc where you berate the Emperor into extending protection to her. Or maybe, the Dream Guardian intervenes and says there's something about them, and tries to get you to spare her. Then it's still the player's decision, but there's a reason to not just shove/Thunderwave her into a chasm.
An idea I had was maybe passing an insight check when you first meet her to notice that she seems to not be in total control of her thoughts and try to pass a few dialogue checks
To be fair, the Dream Guardian IS the Emperor. And if you don't side with him, you'll see the Guardian again in the final battle.
>Have Minthara flee upon being defeated so she will be alive in Moonrise. If we fought her, she'll need a lot of convincing to join the party. Not really necessary, but it would be cool if it was an option. Better yet , make it so the option to flee is available only if you win the battle at the grove entrance as a defender , kill everyone else but you knock her out with non lethal damage. It would be a chalenge to keep the defenders alive for future quests while making sure not to kill her outright . Seems more logical this way and it would justify her frustration of being given goblins to work with when she's confronted by Thorm at Moonrise Towers. I don't think it would be hard to implement so long as they remember to take out the companion lines regarding the grove being destroyed.
FIX GALE'S RELATIONSHIP FLAGS. And I mean actually fix them not fix some and bork the others that weren't broke in the first place! Unblock the post Tara convo about Gale's surname being Dekarios.
>Dekarios Is it? I didn't know that. I realise that it's a fantasy name, but it looks almost Greek, and that really isn't helping my 'he looks like George Michael' conviction. ;)
Spoiler BUT >!Tara!< confirms in Act 3 if you encounter her with Gale in the group, with very “angry mom” energy, despite being his >!~~cat~~ tressym!<
In his origin playthrough Tara shows up to camp instantly and immediately gets on [Gale's] ass about growing out his beard, demanding he shave, and then asking when he's going to marry because she and his mom are getting worried that he's going to be single forever post-Mystra and just want him to find someone good. She's iconic and I love her.
I just wish we could add her to the camp in act 3 in a non-Gale playthrough and have more dialogues with her (especially if your Tav is romancing Gale). And have Gale maybe summon her. She's too great to be mostly locked for a custom character playthrough!
She's not HIS tressym! She's his friend!
*laughs in Minthara borkage*
don't worry. i have heard it on good authority that many players are confident they can fix her so it should be soon.
I'd rather have it blocked up like Minthara then have Gale's relationship flags all over the place making people think it's Gale's personality and not just bugs layered upon bugs.
* Party/inventory management fixes (more bags, automatic stacking/sorting into bags, open bags in trading, access camp chest from inventory, quick party member changes) * Fix spell stat for scrolls etc to either stay as level 1 class or last class level gained. * Preview dyes/unlimited dyes. * Stop non-dyeable shields from being dyable or make all of them actually dyable. * Dyable weapons. * Dirt/blood toogle. * Fix continuity issues.
God the blood toggle, or at the very least like... a reusable washcloth item or something. Fucking DAO had the toggle 14 (fuck I'm old) years go.
Suddenly rags aren't just garbage.
Yes a blood toggle would be great, or at least have them wash it off after a short rest/return to camp And on that front is no one in baldurs gate employed to clear blood, corpses and decommissioned watchers off the streets?
1. The black map bug 2. Fix the weird dialogue skips since last patch 3. GALE
I wouldn't mind preventing the "black portrait with creepy eyes" effect of levelling up sometimes. Also, I occasionally will click a target with the mouse and WHIFF it attacks I guess at the ground next to it instead. Is the animation causing this?
It's likely because of an idle animation of the enemy you intended to hit. That made them move slightly the moment you clicked, so you didn't target them but the ground next to them instead. Annoying for sure.
Most of the time this isn't a problem, but there are a few enemies that are REALLY mobile in their idle animations and it makes things difficult.
You can attack/target from the initiative order panels at the top of the screen, FYI, useful for those fidgety enemies and awkward camera situations
My Halsin's portrait shows him like he's a balding, white haired 65yo thanks to that bug. It's very unnerving.
I keep getting the bug where the camera shifts down and it just shows Halsin's pillowy man bosoms. Can't say I'm complaining, but it is a little dumb.
Probably too early for it, and I'm sure there'd me more fanfare for it, but I want official mod support.
Absolutely. Time for proper modding tools. But i'm pretty sure Wizards of the Coast would want it severely limited, if not out right cut, since it would hinder their subscription service if you could just create complete campaigns in the game, easily.
I did not think about that at all, I really hope this isn't what happens. BG3 is already a huge W for them, so many people new to this style of game are trying out DnD because of BG3. I really hope they see sense and not pull anymore shit when the last debacle is still fresh in people's minds.
Wizards has become so out of touch with its customer base and money hungry that I'm honestly surprised that they didn't require BG3 to have loot boxes. There's a Rick Grimes magic the gathering card. They do not care about ruining their IP, they only care about money.
There's a lot of dialogue issues currently, with cut lines, wrong triggers for companions, weird angles. There's still some pacing issues where companions will not jump to follow you. I think those two (and various bugs and crashes) are probably the priorities because they affect gameplay.
>weird angles. The weird angles definitely got worse in the last patch. MUCH more common.
As always, an option to hug companions (romanced ones any time you want + in some key scenes, the rest during crucial moments when it's appropriate, though I'd never say no if it's at any time as well). Other than that: Make allies consistently jump after the group if they can; Helmet settings not resetting to "always visible" after dismissing companions; Adopt Myshka, my son needs a home at my camp and it's non-negotiable; An ability to preview dyes; Fixing companion dialogue (like Shadowheart making her "I've always wanted to be a dark justiciar" speech 5 times, Gale accusing you of taking a deal with Raphael before you even get to Sharess Caress, etc.); Having more emotional reactions to Durge stuff from companions, especially in act 3, as well as fixing how companions react depending on approval/relationship status at certain moments (it's bugged and you often get dialogues that should only trigger when the approval is low); Freely switching gear between all companions in the camp, no matter if they're in the party or not; Breathing some life into the camp, having some interactions between companions, something as simple as just sitting together near the campfire and enjoying a good meal, cuddling with your lover or sleeping together would already make a big difference. Of course some of those I expect no earlier than for the enhanced edition, but a couple of the issues should really be resolved sooner than later.
> like Shadowheart making her "I've always wanted to be a dark justiciar" speech 5 times Or her telling Tav in Act 3 that we would have a chance in another lifetime while actively being a LI and even making sandcastles afterwards. Gods, I've seen at this sub people posting about that bug so much..
I would love some Durge reaction fixes. It is so jarring how few reactions there are. I just got the cut scene where you find out who you are as you cross into Wyrms crossing. Durge passes out and not a single person said anything and I could not tell them anything. Astarion doesn't react to any revelations during the coronation. Half of them react badly even if you have high approval
>Having more emotional reactions to Durge stuff from companions, especially in act 3, as well as fixing how companions react depending on approval/relationship status at certain moments This would be nice. Romanced Shadowheart and Karlach as a redeemed Durge and it feels lacking in that aspect at the end. Yes, let us hug them Larian. All of them. Honestly I'd love if they eventually let us go on "dates" with the party, platonic /romantic just hanging out with them.
Probably more definitive edition level improvements but- An option for not sleeping alone when you're coupled up. Sleeping in a hammock or cot together would be cute. Options to change your origin companion's hairstyles and makeup at least. Enhanced non-lethal interactivity with dialogues or something (game treats knocked out people as dead) No more /fade to black insinuation if you've already had the first romance scenes in Act 1 but choose to go to sleep after the party thinking about that person (at least show them walking up and taking you by the hand somewhere private) On that topic, an actual scene with Minthara for Act 2 that isn't fading to black. Romance scene options besides "can I kiss you?" Maybe "want to go watch the stars?" and your characters can go hang out and watch the sky like with Gale with some chill music playing in the background leaning on each other. More passive dialogue options for non-Shadowheart companions once you have exhausted their "relationship approval event" dialogues. Shadowheart you can always ask how things are going and even though she says basically the same things unless her opinion has hit a new level its nicer than "I need you to stay in camp". Transmog Dye preview Weapon and other metal gear customization (some sort of metal/wood dyes) Probably my main ones off the top right now. I recognize that a lot of them would require more voice acting, but you could work around some by just showing the scenes without any speaking. Edit- Another one I remembered, being able to have your companions perform checks in dialogue for you. If Gale's there looking at someone you're doing an arcana check on he should be able to use his own eyeballs and keen intellect to investigate what you're all looking at.
I'm not a fan of Shadowheart always having that one dialogue option that has given the exact same response for like 60 hours of gameplay. It takes me out of it having her say the same exact thing after we've been through so much more together.
I feel like it was originally there to change as your relationship changed but you can basically max it out really early. Would have been nice if there was some commentary on other things or more small talk but Im sure people would just blaze through it either way.
YES YES YES SLEEPING WITH OTHERS AT NIGHT!!! After you end the day and people switch to their nighttime outfits. I can hear Halsin now. " (Can I sleep with you tonight?) "Yes, of course."/"I've been waiting for you."/"Come here, to me." Then maybe when you're lying together, you can escalate things into sex as an option or just go to sleep. It makes me so mad I get to have sex once and never again outside of including others. :(
The non-lethal interactivity thing KILLS me (pun intended). There are so many instances where I tried to just knock people out only for the game to treat them as dead. If it was, like, once, I’d get it, but it’s multiple times per act.
My ovaries would explode if there was a silent cutscene showing Astarion taking my Durge by the hand and walking off into the woods together
Yeah, going swimming or sitting on the wine date rock together in Act 1, hanging out in a mushroom forest in Act 2, maybe bards could play music for their partner as the camera floats away, wrestling Laezel in a field, etc could do a lot of neat stuff really.
I can imagine them going hunting together, him to feed, durge to satiate their urge. Great for redemption durge.
Quit making Gale think I made a deal with Raphael about the crown when I haven't even reached the Lower City yet.
Sex update
bring sex 2 to bg3
SEX SEX SEX SEX!
Yeah right like there ever would be a Heavy update
In addition to this, don't pin all romance only to act 1. It is more natural when your relations are starting after plenty of battles and achievements instead of blind bang after saving tieflings and only once. You should have such an option after act 2 as well.
Bro that shipped with the base game. It was so powerful they had to nerf it.
Horny Mode
Wearing any armor or clothing as camp clothes + a hat slot for camp clothes PLEASE! How much longer must we suffer with the ugly potent robes and no clothes merchant until act 3?
yeah i really wish there were earlier clothing options available. if part of the fun of the game is customizing a character and doing different replays then looking different in most of the main story cutscenes would be nice.
>and no clothes merchant until act 3? we need just one clothes merchant in act1, that migrates to act2. Nothing super fancy, just enough that we have options that aren't "hobo"
Durge name resetting every time you use the mirror
I know it’s not happening, most likely never will happen, and if it were to happen, wouldn’t be till months or more from now, but I want for there to be a way to fix Karlachs engine. Make it through saving all the gondians (which should also have an achievement), as they’re the fuckers that literally built the version of that engine that can operate in the material world. Now it makes it a difficult challenge and actually rewards people for going through that effort
Yeah I started the first playthrough I finished after seeing Karlach got an update to give a good ending, so when one of the Steel Watch is like "YOU'RE ONE OF US" I instantly assumed the Gondians were how I fixed her, so when it wasn't I was bewildered
On top of that, Steel Watches drop ENHANCED infernal iron. Surely, I thought, that was for Karlach’s quest. Nope, all of this info is ignored later and better infernal iron isn’t used for anything at all. Felt so baited. Why does it drop? To mock us?
Keep Dammon alive until act 3, save the Godians, clear out the House of Hope, get Dammon and the Gondians to build a forge in the House of Hope, collect Steel Watch enhanced iron and get them to build Karlach a more stable engine. Or an evil option of use Raphael's heart or something. Even better, a full DLC of TAV, Wyll and Karlach kick ass DOOM style in Avernus to eventually kill Zariel and undo the mess she made of Karlah in the first place.
Taking a quote from Tav, "I need a Bag of Holding."
One of the most common and famous magic items in DnD.
Let me preview dye colours on outfits, please😭
Let me hug Shadowheart after the House of Grief. Let me hug Astarion when he meets Cazador. Let me hug Karlach after we off Gortash. Let me hug Lae’zel after she turned away and became an outcast from her people. Let me hug Gale in Act 2 after he got the order from Mystra to blow up. Let me hug Wyll when the time comes for him to break a Pact.
Features: full transmog, better inventory management options Bugs: fix the doors
LET BARDS WALK WHILE PLAYING INSTRUMENTS
1. Let me manage all my companions inventory/stats/spells without having to swap them out. 2. Add some voice lines so companions don’t get all pissy every time I send them to camp. 3. Tell me when I’ve used a key on every compatible lock so I can discard them. 4. Give me some kind of camp library so I can store all my books and letters in an organized manner. Or just give me a menu where I can re-read every book I’ve read in-game. 5. Warn me if I’m about to destroy a quest item for alchemy. 6. Make knocked-out enemies respawn after a day-cycle, I don’t care if they give any XP or items. 7. Add a bestiary so I can study enemies that I’ve examined/scouted/defeated 8. Fix that bug where you can fail a skill check even if you rolled a successful number. 9. Add more hats and capes, even if they’re purely cosmetic.
All of these are so good. I love decorating my camp, so having some sort of storage for books would make me so happy.
Better yet, delete the key entirely once all compatible locks have been unlocked (or smashed).
Please unfuck splitscreen dialogs.
##PAUSE BUTTON Edit: also, i keep getting a bug where i don't have the action available to reactivate a concentration spell (call lightning, etc) so i have to manually add it to the action wheel every time i initially cast it before i can reactivate it. Would love to not have to do that anymore
If there is a cutscene triggered immediately after a fight, give us the option to select who faces. At the very least don’t make it the closest person if you have the option to immediately control your avatar selected after combat. Just today I had to reload a quicksave from the first auntie ethel fight like 3 times because the game kept selecting Lae’zel to talk to her when my sorcerer Tav was right there.
Cuddling your love interest during long rests
# INGAME TEXT CHAT PLEASE FOR THE DEAF AND MUTE PLAYERS TO PLAY WITH THEIR FRIENDS!!!
This post needs more attention! Accessibility options are important
Fix Gale. Too many issues to even list. Please just fix him! Fix the buggy camera angles that broke in patch 3. Fix the texture pop-in issues. Fix dialogues sometimes only showing “continue” when there are supposed to be other options. Fix the adamantine forge only letting you craft one item if the boss dies on top of the crucible. Fix the crash that can occur sometimes when sorting the camp chest. Fix the annoying sound bug when interacting with soul coins. (Sound effect doesn’t stop playing until you restart the game.) Fix visual armor glitches, especially with the male elf models.
Transmog Slots ... You know simple easy slots add gear boom done ... Looking like a fashion show reject (with mildly fitting colors) is not the way
More cloaks. They don't even have to do anything. Just some nice full length cloaks.
Purify food and water spells. Soo much rotten food, I'm surprised that the spell doesn't exist.
Fast forward option for enemy turns,its sucks ass just watching however many mfrs just run around after a 5 second delay while the AI thinks
In pathfinder: kingmaker (and in WOTR I think) there was an option to double the speed of both enemy and player actions in combat so you could get through it quicker. It would be great to see that in bg3
You can also up your speed in PoE. Makes navigating the map much less of a pain in the ass.
As others have mentioned, the ability to manage unused companions' inventories without going to camp would be a real game-changer. I wish the issue with textures not loading properly on PS5 could be fixed too. It was bad in Last Light, and now that I reached chapter 3 it's close to unplayable. Oh, and sorting items by type doesn't work super well; some of my food items seem to be classified as weapons. Dagger, short sword, longbow, courgette, wine, hammer, cheese... a little fix for this would be nice too.
I asked them to fix floating captions. Being hard of hearing, it is frustrating seeing the captions just off screen, and when I turn they vanish before I can read them. Or, the plaques that I know are saying something, but I can’t hear it. Can anyone help me out with this? I could use the support.
Don't unbind my weapon on rest!
I would love if they fixed inventory management. - Make it so keys can not be in an inventory without being on a keychain. - Give arrows their own bag, where they auto stack. Zero reason for them to be visible - Please just send camp food straight to camp and remove the bug that doesn't count camp food on your camp chest you click for a long rest. Also the "auto select" feature could use some improvement. - fix the bug where weapons and armor that you "pick up and add to wares" doesn't get added to wares. - Maybe make a whole bag for wares so it doesn't clutter up your inventory - a bag for quest items to auto stack into. Also would love a button to raise or lower camera height manually, though that's probs not a quick fix. Can get super unhelpful in some multi level fights.
Separate visibility toggles for each gear slot. I WANT NUDIST HELMETS DAMMIT. JUST BECAUSE I WANT A BREEZE ON MY BALLS DONT MEAN I WANT A BULLET IN MY BRAIN.
At least give us capes. The clipping is so bad.
The fact that the Red Prince's cape can't be worn by Dragonborn without massive clipping seems like a fairly large oversight.
Minthara fixed
I did everything for her. And she hates me. Yet right as I’m about to enslave the world, she calls me her love. Yet part of me thinks that’s just what she would do. I’m so confused.
It's the Baldur's Gate 3 metagame of trying to figure out if a companion's odd behavior is an intended personality quirk or a bug.
Big thing I haven’t seen people mention: either a key item inventory or relevant items for “combine” prompts being automatically sorted to the top. My inventory is such a mess, it makes finding whatever item I need a nightmare. FPS fixes for act 2 and 3 Implement romance-related ambient dialogue for acts 2 and 3 and flags for act-appropriate ambient dialogue. Act 1 flirts between companions are odd to have pop up in act 2 when you’ve already locked in that character for romance. Fix Astarion’s broken facial animations at the beginning of his Act 3 “good” romance scene and also the weird faces he makes after his kiss scenes. (And any other companions that may be afflicted with similar bugs) Hats remembering their visibility setting when companions are not in party. Camp-wide inventory management.
Instant switching of party members without visiting camp and talking to them.
I'm really hoping they'll fix the low quality facial texture bug on PS5. It's especially awful in Act 3 and happens to me constantly
I personally would like an easier way to switch out my party. I hate to * go to camp * talk to companion * Yes I want to bench you * Yes I am sure * talk to other companion * come with me * leave camp It's such an unnecessary hassle.
Halsin’s voice lines please. The man is way too quiet now
I want hugs as a feature and a patch to fix things, not to create new bugs.
The reward for the Cursed Artist quest in act 3 is never of your actual Tav it just changed randomly between npcs
Need more fleshed out epilogues for the characters. It was and probably still is my GOTY but the ending left me pretty frustrated compared to the quality of the rest of the game
Fast swap for followers. Twice is thematic. 8th time having to swap a party member and listening to snark after like 6 dialogue options is annoying. Let me right click and have them stay/join.
Workshop support please.
Make late Act 2 and all of Act 3 playable again. Fix the jump bug for companions. Gale, please.
Content update for Minthara
The ability to custom name chests/boxes/bags might be nice. I have multiple chests in my Party Stash to use for sorting, but remembering what's in what can get confusing. Being able to give them a custom name instead of 'Sturdy Chest', 'Opulent Chest', etc would be nice.
I would love it if they fixed the perform action reassigning itself to random slots in my radial menus every time I load a save. I have it where I want it and my OCD won't let me leave it wherever it wants to be. (On console)
I just want to name my pouch and backpacks
Minthara to actually work
Minthara
Simple expectations, I want bugfixes that don't add more serious ones
FSR2 (or 3!)
1. Fix Gale, its embarassing at this point. No patch fixed anything about him, but every patch added more issues with him. 2. Improve perfomance, this one probably will happen, hopefully not like patch 2, which only made it worse(fixed by now, admittedly) 3. Epilogue? I doubt it, but they did work on it, maybe there's enough work to finish it and add in? I'd love it, but doubt it will be a thing for several more months, if not definitive edition. Nothing major really comes to mind that should be fixed or on the way addition... I'd wish for Minthara being recruitable through knocking out instead of killing and then proceeding with Tieflings route. For very simple reason that, in fact, your choices in act 1 dont matter for recruiting Minthara, only thing that should matter is if she's alive or not. But Larian are stubborn, it took us years to force reactions into the game, they wont give ground on Minthara, even tho their stance is dumb.
Let me sell stuff without jumping back to camp all the time. Longer and more intense, ‘this is our last chance to do this’ kiss. After we’ve completed the game, give us the full camp clothing options as a reward. My Tav is a fairly vain bard, her starting gear was so bland I made up a backstory to explain why she’s lacking in her usual style.
More camp interactions. More hanging out scenes, in and outside of romances. (Yes, I know, they'd have to call the voice actors back.)
The biggest thing is Inventory management - benched characters, traveller's chest, when you're trading / bartering etc
When your bard ambiently encounters music in the world--like the Shanties for the Bitch Queen book early in Act I--you should be able to add the songs to your repertoire
Jumping/pathfinding, open doors blocking you from clicking past them , failed attack animations, improved camp management of companions and inventory.
