The bug that can ruin your game in Baldur's Gate 3

The vastness of this game's world is well known, but what is even broader are its dialogue options, something that brings with it an evident problem of bugs and errors that, at times, can spoil our experience, but are generally resolved by reloading the game.

However, one particular flaw has wreaked havoc on a player's adventure, resulting in the loss of 80 hours of gameplay in Honor Mode. Without delving into plot spoilers, we'll share the details of the tremendous blunder that a player experienced during their playthrough.

As reported by the Baldur's Gate 3 community, a user known as Daxtr0 on Reddit was affected by this error. During a crucial conversation in the plot, when attempting to select a dialogue option, only one alternative was presented: "Continue." Tragically, this choice led to a series of events that resulted in the death of their characters and, ultimately, the premature end of their playthrough in Honor Mode, just a few scenes away from the conclusion.

This incident has elicited empathy in the community, with other players sharing similar experiences and offering potential solutions. According to comments on Reddit, exiting the game, returning to the main menu, and reloading the playthrough seems to be a way to avoid the consequences of the "Continue" option. This solution has apparently worked for several players, even in Honor Mode, allowing them to regain control over the dialogue and avoid undesirable outcomes.
