The durable fight systems in Baldur’s Gate 3 use similarly magnificent displays for both luster and also stupidness, and also “the biggest-brained AI move in history” has gamers sharing the very best and also worst actions they have actually seen from the RPG’s NPCs.

We’re ready to discuss specific in-game experiences, so below’s your caution that some small looters for battles you could locate on your own in will adhere to. This all beginnings with a narrative regarding a fight you’re most likely to locate on your own in near completion of Act 1, versus the Drow employer Nere in Grymforge.

When Reddit user DeyUrban did that battle, “Nere himself got pushed into the lava. Business as usual, I was preparing to reload a save so I could get his head for the Myconid sovereign, but then I witnessed the craziest thing I have seen in the game so far – One of his crossbowmen shot a push-back arrow AT NERE, and it PUSHED HIM BACK UP ONTO SOLID GROUND. I was absolutely stunned, I wouldn’t have even thought of doing that. The AI is something else in this game man, I’ve seen a couple cases where they did something really stupid but otherwise even on Balanced [difficulty] they are extremely competent.”

While that narrative is everything about exactly how wise Baldur’s Gate 3 personalities can be, the top comment beneath summarize the remainder of the reactions: “The duality of AI is that they do shit like this then walk into their own AoE with only 4 HP left.”

The most shocking AI mistakes, naturally, are those that originate from pleasant personalities. The most significant broken heart I’ve seen originates from ladollyvita84, that handled to “finally save Isobel at Last Light Inn after so many attempts… then Jaheira walks into my still-active moonbeam and aggros the whole place against me.”

“I had an instance where Shadowheart was on fire, shockingly the friendly AI used their turn to dash then push Shadowheart out of the fire. My mind was blown away when that happened. Guess what though? That friendly AI was now the one standing on fire,” the aptly-named AggravatingRage states.

That type of tale regarding AI doing something actually wise and afterwards following it up with something actually stupid is quite usual. “Jaheira ‘wasted’ an action to throw a water bottle on Shadowheart and my Paladin/Warlock Tav,” DERH4UPTMANN states, which “put the fire on the ground and the characters out. In the same fight she revived Lae’zel with a healing spell. She also used her thorn grappling thing to pull an archer to his death. And then she ran into MY dagger cloud and died… Reload it was…”

The Baldur’s Gate 3 AI generally appears to be the personification of the “I am a genius! …oh no!” meme, which is additionally a quite precise summation of exactly how I often tend to really feel regarding my very own fight methods. Listen, if the AI went through its very own wall surface of fire spells as commonly as I do you’d most likely assume it was totally damaged.
