Although Larian’s latest RPG game, Baldur’s Gate 3, has been highly appreciated by fans and critics for its story and gameplay, there is an important limitation that bothers some players.
The game sets a new bar for developers, and it looks like it will probably be a success that will be talked about for years. However, that doesn’t mean the game is flawless.
Strange restriction annoys players
Every game has flaws, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is of course no exception. Some players are trying to fix Baldur’s Gate 3 crashing issues on Steam Deck and are dealing with other minor bugs and complaints. But a big issue that many fans complain about isn’t actually a bug.
In a co-op game, when a player joins their friend’s game, their special character is constantly attending their friend’s party. This means that even if a player joins a friend’s game with a special character, they will stay with that character until they finish the game. This character will occupy a place in the party, prevent other characters from joining the party, and will never be deleted or sent back to the party camp. Players are very uncomfortable with this situation.
Players complain a lot
In a discussion thread started by Reddit user hamburglin, gamers are complaining about this issue and are confused as to whether this is actually a weird feature or a bug.
Some believe this restriction is so bad that it must have been an accidental mistake. Others speculate that Larian introduced this restriction to prevent players’ camp from being briefly filled with various special characters joining the party.
Of course, other players point out that this situation could be handled in a better way. Baldur’s Gate 3 has already become one of the most popular Steam games thanks to its gorgeous design, so some fans have a hard time believing that Larian made this decision on purpose. Larian has yet to respond to this discussion, so players participating in other co-op games for now will have to deal with this situation.
