Most Baldur’s Gate 3 Players Still Haven’t Finished a Single Playthrough

Despite achieving unprecedented acclaim and millions of sales on its first anniversary, there are still many people who have never experienced any of Baldur’s Gate 3’s endings and are continuing to explore the Forgotten Realms.

It is not uncommon for interest in a video game to diminish after only a few weeks or months. While this is expected for single-player games, it can mean the end for live-service and multiplayer titles.

Despite having been released a year ago, Baldur’s Gate 3 has not experienced a decrease in interest. In fact, the fandom has become even more passionate, eagerly searching for hidden gems and testing out unique character builds.

Despite being extremely popular, Baldur’s Gate 3 has surprisingly not been completed by a significant amount of players. A discussion on the BG3 Reddit reveals that only 22.2% of Steam players have actually finished the game’s story.

just finished the game, does this mean majority of people (on steam) didnt finished… yet byu/EmirSc inBG3

“One user shared, “My friends have completed 10 playthroughs…until Act II.”Another user mentioned that “many people seem to struggle with the character creation level.”

The duration of the final Act may also play a role in this. One player expressed, “I was both surprised and not surprised by this; Act III can be quite challenging and I often find myself giving up on a playthrough at that point and starting a new one. However, it is satisfying to finally complete the entire game at least once.”

“One player expressed their struggle with the final battle, admitting that they lacked the courage to complete the game. They described feeling emotional about the impending end.”

Despite the fact that nearly 10% of players have not managed to escape the Nautiloid, it is not only the ending that remains unseen by many. Some individuals simply struggle to complete the process of creating a character.

Despite its vast scope and lengthy gameplay, Baldur’s Gate 3 has garnered a surprisingly low completion rate. This is particularly unexpected considering the strong devotion of its fans to the game’s characters and narratives, even without having fully immersed themselves in the overall experience.

Perhaps, it could be argued that they are simply enamored with Acts I and II. The bustling city of Baldur’s Gate has a tendency to ensnare individuals in its winding streets, to the extent that many would prefer to restart the game rather than reach the ending credits.
