What videogames are you playing in 2026?

[Paul Farquhar]

Wow. I did not expect that.

Basically, I'm just really frustrated with the game. I've spent WAY too much time trying to find stuff. A door in the goblin/ruined town that leads down into the necromancer's lair took me quitting the game and looking it up on Reddit.

The game isn't intended that you find everything, or even most things, in a single playthrough. You don't need to find the necromancers lair, it's a minor sidequest, and there are at least two other ways to get there anyway. You can climb down the well or get there through the caves (I think there are two other ways into the spider caves, possibly more). That there isn't a single railroad track through the game is what people like.

Followed by a talking door that you basically have to edge your characters forward without mousing over the door to get past it once you've unlocked it.

Are you playing on a Steamdeck or other tiny screen?

Other stuff too - the high mountain road that I could not figure out how to walk down for the life of me. Basically three really frustating things right in a row has sucked all the joy of the game out of me.

Plus, FFS, let me zoom the freaking camera out some more so I can actually SEE the game. I could not give two craps about roofs and leaves.

Yeah, the illusory door in the hag's lair was seriously frustrating in my first playthrough. There's no indication that you need to not interact with it to get past it, and it takes up so much of the screen that just finding some place beyond it to click isn't at all intuitive.

Whenever I couldn't figure out something in the game, I typically was able to find the answer online at Baldur's Gate 3 Wiki

So posting it in case it helps anyone else.
