    • This happens every time a new update is dropped. I foresee more of these "ghost" pop up threads in the future since Preferred/F2P players are able to post on the forums.
    • I'll be honest and say that having people running in the background did not bother me... untill someone just popped behind Theron with Skadge in underwear... that's a big nope for me, I don't want to see it again lol
    • I noticed that too, but it’s not surprising that new accounts are the most vocal ones. They probably made that account especially to post their grievances. What is your theory? That this forum is being raided by trolls? I don’t think that’s very likely, especially because this game is very easy to complain about without having to troll.
    • Customer support ticket in-game would be my advice.
    • They added the option to change appearance when it's demanded. They also added a new mechanism so that you can more easily manage the gears and inventories of all your inactive companions (you can only take 3 with you as a group, and before this you can only access the gear and inventory window in your active group, it's a pain in the *** if you switch your companions often), a huge QoL thing people demanded. They made a new Honor Mode. It's not just a simple "one save only" mode with nothing new. it's essentially a new NiM mode, all bosses are given new special abilities that fit their profiles. There is also a new Custom mode for players to adjust some of the in game difficulties/settings. They added an epilogue party scene after the original end scene because the original end scene is honestly lackluster and people were rightfully angry about it. Now players can have interaction with their companions at the party and see the consequences and aftermath of their choices throughout the game. It's very well made and well received. They made a new cutscene to give a certain companion a better ending because a lot of people were angry about the lack of proper ending for that companion before the epilogue party was added. Tbf I think they need to rework the companion's whole quest but I understand that won't happen unless there's a definite version a year or 2 later. They made a companion who can be only obtained by making the "evil" choice at the critical moment in act1 accessible by people who make the "good" choice. It is a highly demanded option because the evil route lock people out of a lot of BiS gears and contents in act 2/3 that are tied to the NPCs you lost due to the evil choice, a lot of players simply won't/can't do it. Yes, the companion is buggy and has new bugs after every hotfixe where the devs tried to fix her, but she's never meant to be a companion for the good route to begin with, and the players understand adding a new mechanic (basically a loophole) to code her into a "good" route will break things in unexpected ways, so most people don't take it as a personal attack. Those big changes with new features comes from Patches, BG3 has 6 Patches since Aug/2023. Hotfix comes in between Patches for emergency fix usually the actual game breaking types, or dialogue bugs that affect companions since it's a major selling point of the game. Larian put out a new hotfix on 3/18 to fix a couple dialogue bug the above mentioned companion has after the last hotfix (released on 3/8 so 10 days ago) and they owned it and explained that they f up when trying to fix her other dialogue tree issue. It's honest more a meme now because of course she refused to be fixed lol They removed the number meter in character creation (0-100 for the slider of make-up, freckles, age etc.) in the recent patch and people hated it (people write down the number of their character creating meters to create the same character to try all the AU story they want to see), so they reversed it back in the next hotfix. They also buffed up a boss in a companion's final personal quest so that said boss lives up to his reputation. He used to be a meme because people laughed and complained about how they were disappointed by how weak he was, but now he is very scary to an unprepared party in high difficulty. He basically got stronger in every patch it's amusing to see. Once he got too strong after a major patch and had to be hotfixed fast lol Most of the romance tag issues in vanilla game were fixed. And some of the dialogue options that confused people (I just want to see a cool magic trick, I don't know it means magic trick in the pants) were changed so people can read the scene more clear. A certain companion being "gay" for no reason used to be such a meme. I've never met any game breaking bug with my 100+ mods installed (those do break the game especially between major patches) during my 1000+ hours of game play through all the Patches since Jul/2023. There are some I do know that's not introduced by mods because Larian usually admits it when it's a vanilla game bug: Patch 4 was bad. It is probably the worst patch so far and no one in their right mind can say it's good. It tanked performance in the final act (act3) and also introduced huge bugs like companions being frozen, mission items disappearing etc. The game was pretty unplayable for a while in act3, especially if you play the PS5 version. Larian had patched it and made a public letter saying they'll be better at making sure a patch is stable in the future. Patch 5/6 are mostly stable on PC. There was a bug where you could lose your mission items but that's been patched. Another huge bug that was driving me and a lot of players crazy was when we kiss my companion, we are kissing the air instead of each other. But that's also been patched and we also get new kisses now so it's all good. Vendor/Trading window was broken in the recent patch which is pretty major but it's hotfixed. The biggest game breaking bug recently that I can think is a certain interactive object won't register the item inserted to open a certain door, I'm not sure if it's fixed yet but you can use a spell to open the otherwise can't-be-opend-by-magic door (ironically due to a vanilla bug lol) so it's not dooms day. There is another bug that can screw you in honor mode: sometimes the dialogue options won't show and if you click the placeholder "continue" the game will select a "default" option that might f you up when you can't save/load. It's not fixed as far I'm concerned and it's annoying when it happens. There was a game breaking bug regarding player losing their save files on XBox a while ago but that was a Microsoft problem. Funny thing was, I saw Larian did most of the communication, making progress updates, providing ways to make back ups etc., while Microsoft being mostly silent. It was fixed eventually but that's a major f-up. Of course the game is not perfect. I think Larian rushed Act3 and certain companions were rushed too. There need to be a transmog system and preview dye window, ironically the other 2 things SWTOR wins other than the fully voice acted protagonists. But Larian did add a lot of things according to their player feedback, so despite the bugs and flaws, most people are way more forgiving because we know Larian is trying to improve their product and adds new things we actually want even though they don't have to and could leave the game as it was at release.
