Spoilers for the end of act 3 below.

Idk what happened. I've only ever helped her. We just came from the astral plane and are ready to fight the brain. She pledged her sword and I gave a speech saying everyone is the hero of Baldur's Gate or some such, and then it cut to her telling me off and telling me if I die against the absolute it's better than I deserve and she left. WTF? Does anyone know why that happened?

Edit: mystery solved. More spoilers below.

If you kill Minsc instead of saving him, and then don't talk to Jahiera before the battle, she finds out about it after your speech, is hella pissed, tells you off, and leaves. She already pledged her harpers though, so you still get to use them.

Gale shat on me for taking Raphael's deal.

I did not even speak to Raphael.

Probably a game oopsie

I was reading that they fixed this in a recent patch. It also happened to me.

That kind of sucks. I've intentionally kept her around so that she would be useful in this last fight. Oh well. I think I'm almost to the brain and I haven't had to call on reinforcements yet.

Did you kill Minsk instead of saving him and then didn’t talk to Jaheira before the final battle? Because that will do it.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes. I didn't even know I was supposed to save him. I made sure not to kill his little hamster though. Whoops! Mystery solved! I was kind of speed reading her statements in my last conversation with her. I guess I missed something. I was eager to tidy up loose ends and defeat the brain.

Next time just make sure you have non lethal attacks toggled on. Then when you smack him with your sword you can talk to him after.

Commenting so I can find this again since I can't see my own posts on my profile.

While I do not know anything about your bg3 problem I think the reason that you can't see your own posts might be that your settings are not to display read posts.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks. That's what someone else said awhile ago, so I turned it off and I still can't see them. There should be an obvious exception on that setting to not hide your own posts.

I got a quest log message that Halsin had left, though he was still in the camp and was usable in the party. Everything worked as if nothing happened.

Could be a bug.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You can use Halsten in your party? He came to my camp, hung around being useless, and then disappeared. I was never able to invite him to join my party, and there was no conversation about him leaving, he was just gone one day.

[–] Scheisser@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, you have to do some quests first. I think it was around mid or late Act 2 when he got usable as a member. I am not sure which quest, likely the questline regarding the sick man in the Last Light Inn / little boy and his ghost.

[–] inasaba@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't even know that you could do a quest for him the first time 'round, because the trigger to start it is so easy to miss. I only found out because a friend told me.

[–] teft@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

There is so much in this game you'll continue to find stuff even on a 5th or 10th playthrough. I've played through it about 10 times now and I still find stuff.

I love how everyone are giving Bethesda shit over bugs, BG3 has an insane amount of bugs, but it's game of the year. 😀

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bethesda games are buggy because Bethesda is lazy and just can't be bothered to give a damn. Will tell you 'it just works'. Loves DLC and microtransactions (that includes Starfield).

Larian made a massively intricate game. It has bugs. Actively works on the bugs, patch after patch. Sold you a complete game.

Gee I wonder why people give Bethesda crap and this game is game of the year...

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Plus this isn't even a bug. This is from not paying attention to Jaheira, and then not talking to her after you kill her best friend. Although, they could give a little more explanation for the people who weren't paying attention to her requests.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago

Bethesda doesn't fix their bugs at all and makes them worse. Larian is actively working with the community and releasing major patches to fix major bugs.

Your complaint has no validity.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I only encountered a few noticeable bugs during the entire game. This one, one really bad one where Withers wasn't in his sarcophagus, and a couple of times when audio or cloud effects would glitch out. Overall I'm incredibly impressed with this game. I think it's the best game I've ever played. I just finished it up tonight and the ending was amazing. Every single dialogue gave me pause, and had me thinking about the ramifications of my decisions, as if it were real life. I think the game is a monumental achievement.

The most annoying bug in my opinion is after hiring the drow at Sharess's Caress, Asterion no longer wears clothes. They are equipped, but he is always in his underwear.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Lol, what! I never hired them, so I guess I skirted a big issue by merit of virtue alone.
