Baldur’s Gate 3 has undoubtedly won the hearts of many gamers. However, the game also struggles with performance issues, particularly in Act 3. Some players are now resorting to morally questionable methods to fix their FPS issues. MeinMMO tells you what’s behind it.
What is the problem? In the busy city of Baldur’s Gate, the frame rate often drops radically. The reason for this is largely due to the enormous number of NPCs that swarm around the city and almost overwhelm the game.
Desperate players have now found an unethical solution to get their FPS back under control.
Should I kill everyone?
What do the players suggest? An unconventional solution is currently being hotly debated on Reddit, and it raises questions not only about performance but also morality. The player Gerael asked the question on Reddit whether it made sense to simply kill all the residents of Baldur’s Gate to solve the performance problem – and he received a surprising amount of support.
Some players are also suggesting not completing Baldur’s Gate 3 for now and instead waiting due to the performance issues. Instead of the usual advice like lowering graphics settings, some players may be turning to mass murder as the ultimate solution to their FPS woes:
This comment isn’t all that unrealistic. Your companions certainly have moral standpoints and may not just stand by and watch the indiscriminate killings. In addition, it will definitely not be an easy task to kill everyone in the city.
As you embark on this bizarre path and slaughter the townsfolk, you may have to miss out on some quests, valuable items, and gold that you might have needed. In addition, the city is left littered with corpses that you have to get rid of somehow – and that can present its own challenge.
Overall, this creative solution shows players pushing the game’s limits in their desperation to overcome the FPS issues in Baldur’s Gate 3. In the end, it’s up to you whether you give in to your urge for mass murder or whether you’d rather leave the residents of Baldur’s Gate in peace. At least your FPS could improve a little with the brutal solution.
