Baldur’s Gate 3is arguably one of the best RPGs since the turn of the millennium. It’s sweptpretty much every awards show going, it’s absolutely adored by fans, and it hasa Metacritic scorethat makes even gaming royalty like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario blush.That being said, there is no game out there that is completely flawless, and some fans have been sharing the elements of Baldur’s Gate 3 that makes their eyes twitch.

This conversation was started onResetEraby user Mukrab, who brought a pretty extensive list of complaints to the table. For starters, Mukrab say that they’re not a huge fan of the linearity of Act 1, as it can be a chore to go through the trouble with the Grove and the impending Goblin invasion if you’re trying to blast through with a new character. They’re also kind of disappointed with the lack of unique races, with the majority of recruitable companions you encounter being a version of human or an elf.

PlanetSmasher takes that complaint a step further, by expressing their disappointment with the fact there aren’t enough companions to cover the core D&D classes. They go on to explain that each core class “should have a full-spec companion attached to it”, and it’s a valid complaint when you realize some of the more popular classes like Bards have no rep, yet the game doubles up on Paladins and Druids.

This is by far the worst offender. So many classes not represented and then having the same class twice is almost insulting.

Another big complaint surrounding Baldur’s Gate 3 is the performance problems, something that developer Larian Studios has been grappling with since launch. While most of the game is relatively bug-free, things take a turn for the worse in Act 3, a portion of the game that even the developers of the game themselves admittakes some getting used to.

Surprisingly, there are far too many complaints from fans to go through here, but some other widely mentioned grievances includethe lack of a transmog system, no ability topreview your dyes, inventory management, the general UI on console, no crossplay with other systems, romances being too easy to unlock, and Gale’s rampant raunchiness.

However, it speaks volumes that, despite all of those issues, most people in that thread would probably say Baldur’s Gate 3 was their favorite game of 2023. Larian has shown that it intends to keep tinkering with the game for a while yet, so let’s hope that around a year from now, we can look back on all these complaints and have most of them be a distant memory.
