Honestly? I’m having a love-hate-love-annoyed thing with Baulders Gate 3. It’s great but I have no fucking clue what I’m doing a lot of the time, the looting is so crucial and so so so slow, it’s glitchy, and I wasn’t googling things or using guides until I failed an entire area by triggering a timer I didn’t know about but I feel I have to use guides now because I don’t want to repeat that.
Also I’m peeved that I’ve either accidentally locked a romance option or it just glitched out altogether.
But still, having a good time. It’s a good game.
Currently in Act 2. I’m playing Durge but fighting my “nature”. I did not know what I was getting into until THAT ONE THING happened at camp. Luckily I save scummed and found a way around it and did the thing with the backup/stand-in which was better than the alternative but also kinda sad because I’m playing a base model Durge if you know what I mean.
It’s been a fun mental roleplay experience, I’m enjoying it but GODDAMN I hate checking 15 empty crates until finally finding one rotten carrot that I still am grateful for because I need that 1 gold.
Same for me my first playthrough. I was very confused and overwhelmed and missed tons of shit. But my second playthrough is much more a love love thing.
Most of it is little things, not as bad as early release vanilla Skyrim - no flying mastodons.
Like right now the Patch 6 broke my inventory UI a little bit. I’m no longer able to turn off “Tooltips” in my inventory which now covers the menu when interacting with items and is really annoying.
One of my quests refused to resolve even though I did everything correctly. I looked it up and it’s a common occurrence. (Save the kid from the harpies on the beach).
Without spoilers I recently took Karlach to the smith for the second time, which should hypothetically open up the next romance option for her. Despite being super high approval I couldn’t get the romance to trigger. I even went back and tried to do stuff according to a guide I found online of people experiencing the same thing and it’s still broken.
Frequently the audio or battle animations for a character in my party just cut out entirely. It’s completely random and not consistently one person. I’m not sure what triggers it and it will fix on its own either by going to camp or fast traveling or a cut scene sometimes. It’s totally inconsistent and random.
PC with an x-box controller. Holy cow thank you! If this works it will be a literal game changer. I hope it works on stuff just placed around and on the ground (the “pick up” vs loot). I’ll try it after work!
Edit: GAME CHANGED. It’s still a little slow but much better than it was.

I keep hearing this but I’ve never experienced it. What bugs are you getting? (Also what platform?)

So a bunch of random things.
There’s a bulk loot option. Not sure what you play on, but you should be able to Google it.
