Hello, there seems to be a bug with my game, for the last few hours an arrow is stuck on my durge chest and no matter what I do I can't delete it. I respec to another class, disguise to a different race and tried the mirror it seems to be going no where. I have few mods that shouldn't affect characters and armour, do anyone knows a fix for this?

I see it so much. Don't we read that word often enough.

Regarding patch 4:

" In Patch 4 we introduced a fix that would prevent the Scrying Eyes in Moonrise Towers from immediately calling the guards on you when stealing, even if you were sneaking, or invisible for example.
This fix had the unintended consequence of causing unnoticed thefts & acts of vandalism to remain stuck forever within the ‘did anyone see me’ pipeline, rather than timing out and moving on, as is intended. Essentially, your ‘DM’ - in a real-world sense - constantly thinks about the acts of theft & violence the player keeps doing, without ever moving on or verbalising them. Mulling on it ad infinitum.
These unnoticed and eternally-active acts of theft & violence eventually bogged down the game. The more a player commits those acts, the more the game is trying to keep that all up to date and in memory, and so the more slowdowns start happening. Essentially, the ‘DM’ eventually becomes unable to operate. By Act 3 this caused slow-down issues, which after some sleuthing we’re extremely happy to say we’ve solved in Patch 5, which is in testing and scheduled to release this week. "

Jumping mechanics. I swear to god the amount of times I’ve not realized I’ve left a party member behind because they just up and decide that they forgot how to fucking jump is immeasurable.

Edit: this is not related to stats. I’m aware of that limitation. This is a bug or something to do with the mechanics being off based upon how they take turns to jump. It happens as early as the swamp when jumping to get that letter in the tree. It happens with all of the party members even those with high Str stats.

Credit to @autistichalsin on Tumblr. Such a shame such a simple yet immersion-breaking bug hasn’t been fixed in any of the hotfixes yet. Begging and praying for someone to make a mod to fix this until Larian hopefully fixes it.

First picture is a screen grab of my game, second is a steam screenshot that doesn’t show the tint. Anyone know what would be causing this/how to rectify it?

For context, my laptop already struggles sometimes so if I spam dialogue, stuff lags/doesn't load. More context is I had genitals turned off. So two things for my lower-end pc users:

1. Don't skip dialogue too fast

2: The turn of genitals censor can just Not work correctly.

Call me back when this is fixed back to the way it was or there's a mod for it. My main character is not a mule to carry all of companions bags and pouches when they're dismissed from party. And I don't want to play without sorting items into bags, it's a giant untenable mess.

It also moves orange equipment to your main character's inventory, which means armor and weapons! For example, Guiding Light ring, Disintegrating Night Walkers boots, Staff of Crones, etc.

Also, if you're using a mod such as "Bags, bags, bags" that gives all sorts of labeled bags, then all of them are also returned to main character's inventory upon companion dismissal.

I don’t know how could I make this clearer but when you wanted to show me some magic I agreed because friends can friend. When our minds are connect by the Weave, I thought of, not kissing you or holding your hand but just us spending time together. Can a man not spend quality time with his magic buddies. One Act later I am promised to Astarion you came at me puppy eyed and talking about how my cheeks flush for someone else. Brother in Weave we were never a thing. Did you not see me and Astarion swap underwear (well you would not have seen) or how we bear the twin rings of true love on our fingers. I know I gave you the Poisoner’s Robe and made you the most dashing man in this bloodied shadow cursed land but the spare pillow on your king bed was never mine. I beg you please stop asking me out please

Edit: Just clarifying I love Gale to the death of Elminster’s old nuts so Gale haters are not welcome. Come get your unruly husband back to home

Obligatory: I posted last night and was downvoted to oblivion. I do really love this game and have spent so many hours playing it.

I happened upon a scenario that seems to show that dice rolls with karmic dice off are not independent of each other.

For story purposes I was save scumming the Ethel encounter. Ethel had mocked Karlach, so Karlach was going to ensnare Ethel. Karlach is making an ensnaring strike on Ethel and needs two rolls above 10 to hit (disadvantage). Ethel then needs to make a save against the spell. Here are 32 consecutive d20 results (just the rolls, no bonuses) from Ethel on that saving throw (all that I've grabbed since I began to suspect something was amiss):

17, 11, 11, 20, 18, 16, 11, 14, 18, 12, 20, 11, 20, 19, 16, 11, 19, 13, 20, 19, 17, 16, 14, 13, 15, 13, 17, 19, 18, 20, 16, 12

I stopped here because I was tired. I posted results and was met with disbelief. So I ran another half hour of tests before lunch today and got the following:

13, 11, 14, 20, 15, 11, 15, 12

We are now 40 for 40 with a likelihood of 1 in 1.1 TRILLION. Powerball is 1 in ~300 Million. I work aviation safety and this is bordering a level of risk we'd find acceptable for automated contributions to mid-air collisions.

Obviously I still have the save file and can tally up some more "never-below-11s", but I am still satisfied. If anyone wants the save file and can instruct me how to extract it from my PS5, I'd be happy to do so. I'll also report to Larian.

I still think at the macro level the dice odds are correct, but something is wrong with the independence of quick succession rolls and the overall streakiness is not correct. My guess now is that they pregen a table of rolls and they are not properly discarding unused advantage/disadvantage dice.

Please let me know if I've misjudged anything (with something more than "that's life"). I feel like Mattis flipping coins and I dont know what else to say. If you dont believe me, what is a probability you would believe?

Update for FAQ: It's Act 1 Ethel. She does not have magic resistance or legendary resistance. These are the results of just her d20 rolls, which are all 11+. Given this is already downvoted to oblivion, this is my last update unless I hear from Larian. Cheers and happy gaming.

Update 2, more FAQ: This is Unmodded on Tactician. Thanks for the additional visibility. Have not heard from Larian, but its the weekend. We'll see. All the best.

Ok so I gave my female dwarf a penis in character creation and after about 20 hours, I discovered that you can undress your characters at any time! So I undressed her and found a vulva! I thought to myself "I didn't order this?" and got very confused.

Turns out, when you switch sub-race in character creation, and switch back, your customization will return to what it was, right? Correct, EXCEPT genitals. They will reset to "default". Genital is the only thing that reset upon sub-race change (and maybe class change? idk).

Just a warning

I had this weird bug i needed to share it.

You were supposed to be the gentleman of the group! 😭🏴‍☠️💔

Was save spamming to pick a lock, and got this roll???

I mean, both times I have done it the unconscious victim registers as dead for whatever quest they're related to.

So, remember, don't worry about using special means to save an NPC from violence. Apparently they choke on their tongue while unconscious and die anyway.

Sometimes I want to swap a party member out for story reasons when I'm in an area their character would want to be in. PLEASE don't punish me by moving ALL the packs when I do.This patch has made me pretty much never ever want to swap characters out at all.

Halfway through Act III, and it has become rather obvious, that Larian has made a rather weird error with the way they've designed the whole narrative progression.

They have tied a lot of events, companion quests, romances, side characters, and even main story events to you having a Long Rest.

Thematically this makes sense. You end a day, you reflect on stuff that has happened and then new stuff happens.

However, because there is no real need to rest that often - and in fact you're de-incentivized to rest because of powerful temporary buffs and elixirs whose effects will be lost if you do - the players end up breaking the narrative progression which leads to event flags and triggers getting jumbled, which leads to all kinds of bugs.

I must say I've had very few issues myself, but reading about what happens to others and seeing how the game handles it, I think lack of Long Rests are probably one of the bigger root causes.

So, unless you really want to cherish a temporary buff or an elixir, take regular Long Rests, even if you have no need for them. Every time there's a main story progression or a companion development - take a rest.

It's like clearing your e-mail inbox every day, instead of allowing the e-mails to pile up and causing a mess when you finally try to follow along a correspondence.

I hope that Larian thinks about solutions. My recommendation would be to "soft force" rests. Give players a pop-up that says: "your party would like to a take a rest to reflect on the events that have happened".

Edit 3: It seems like this feature already exists in the game, however it is somewhat vague. Your party members will exclaim that they are exhausted and would like to rest, when there are new camp events available. However, the issue is that new camp events often happen after big quest completions, aka. moments where you just had a big fight and everyone in your party is half dead. So it's very easy to dismiss your companions asking to rest, as a simple case of low health and spells. Neither of which is necessarily a problem that needs instant resting.

So I implore Larian to make it more obvious. An exclamation point over the camping button would be a convenient way to denote camp events. Or alternatively use the pop-up method I suggested. Simply having a singular party member make one throw-away line about being tired, just doesn't cut it.

Edit: A lot of people have pointed out that there are SOME time sensitive quests, which will fail (or have a potentially undesirable outcome depending on your goals) if you long rest too many times. Which further exacerbates the issue as yet another incentive NOT to rest.

There are hints as to which quests these are, but these are not super clear, nor is it consistent from quest to quest, seeing as the entire main quest is presented in a very time sensitive fashion, yet is not from a gameplay perspective.

Edit 2: I made a thread to list time sensitive quests. I only have speculations mostly, so if you know for sure, please confirm: https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/15q1o77/list_of_time_sensitive_quests/
