The most bug-ridden game I'd played before Baldur's Gate 3 was Neverwinter Nights 2 at release. Baldur's Gate 3 is about 2-3 times as bad in chapters 1-2 in terms of quantity, but fortunately the only major bug I encountered was Galen never re-appearing after being rescued. But in chapter 3 it is at least 10 times as bad. Almost every quest is bugged in some way and bugs occur in most battles (animations stop, spells don't work, jumping characters stop mid-jump and fall through the ground to their deaths etc). Major game mechanics break down, dialogues are messed up etc. For example, it wasn't possible to spend more than 2 tadpoles on powers (nothing happens when you try to unlock a new power), and the reinforcements button for your allies didn't work. (Fortunately the battles where you're supposed to use them are easy)I've never played anything remotely this bad in that regard. At the same time I'm cutting the game a lot of slack because I understand it's massive and very complex. Were it a lesser game I would have quit long before its end.At least I got Karlach's happy ending.</blockquote>
