How is BG3? Still a lot of bugs?

[Charles Wiltshire]

is it like new pathfinder or better?
also how is it on weak machines(gtx 660)?

Better than new Pathfinder, since it doesn’t brick your saves 80 hours in. Still buggy by any reasonable standard though.

AFAIK older machines don’t get treated very well by this game, which is one of the reasons it’s on Stadia, but I’m not exactly sure how badly your experience will be on older hardware.

I havent had any issues tbh with pathfinder cept like one major one that was caused by the Hbao and ssr which fixed once i min them or just rightly turned them off,

Id say its arguably debatable, they feel like totally different games, I personally like the new pathfinder better than bg3 and have def invested more time into it than bg3, but bg3 is slow on releasing cause of events so it might change later on and i love bg3 unless they make the OC of players feel like a side character to their unique npcs from the cover, than i'll personally just not enjoy it the same way i didnt enjoy dos2. If you like crpgs just invest in both and see how far you get before you hit 2hours, both games are good in their own way and a time sink though.

WotR isn't much better for older machines, but that has more to do with Unity than anything else. Even on my midrange machine which shouldn't have any business chugging in a game like WotR, there always ends up being a 3-4 second pause every time I land a killing blow in turn-based for no apparent reason.

By better I meant bug-wise. BG3 has far less bugs than Pathfinder, which has a dysfunctional turn-based mode, several mechanics that don’t work, missing item and spell descriptions, terrible enemy AI and pathing passed Act 3 (enemies have about a 50/50 shot of glitching through the floor permanently if you walk out of range), and problems with major features that quite literally permanently corrupt your save data.

WoTR is in an arguably worse state than Cyberpunk 2077 was at launch, and that’s saying something.
