Maybe AAA games just don't need to be as large or sprawling. Release one full campaign with everything you need included in the price. Then if it does well offer dlc.

As the article points out, balder's gate was early access for 3 years, sold at full price, and still has bugs. It's not an exception to the rule, larian just delivered a good product that had good source material behind it.

it's good enough so when I encounter glitches I simply laugh and move on.

some of the glitches I've encountered so far:

  • animated door(or wall) loop back to closed "frame" but the collision is already moved away so you can walk through the door(or wall)
  • ranged attack/spell sometimes doesn't calculate the path correctly when you hover over the target, so you have to manually move yourself and try again. Some times the path blocked calculation is wrong and you could waste spells.(especially for big enough creatures)
  • animation glitches during conversation. or right after loading.(mostly on NPCs.)
  • some stuff looks reachable but due to path finding for char to "get it" it becomes unreachable. (sometimes can use mage hand to get around this if said stuff is light and not fragile.)

There’s one huge bug in Act 2 where enemies in one really hard battle can shoot you through the floor. They know about it and working on it, but that one damn near killed two of my party members. There was no where you could position yourself where they couldn’t shoot to at you through the floor.

Today there is a update drop so hopefully it got fixed. I probably still have a couple region to clean up before Act2. (judging from the revealed map area. )

The only bug I've encountered which bothers me is the one where a PC (normally Laezel for me) gets stuck in cinematic mode and their controls get locked out until I reload.

I’ve had that one happen, and seen it on Let’s Plays. It’s always Lae’zel.

It's because her cuteness is too powerful. The game struggles to contain it
