FAQs

How often does Baldur's Gate 3 autosave? ›

Condition-based autosaving: The mod autosaves at regular intervals (10 minutes by default), but it also checks various in-game states, like whether the player is in dialogue, trading, combat, lockpicking, etc. Based on these checks, it decides whether to trigger an autosave.

Launch the Game: Start by launching Baldur's Gate 3 as you normally do. Start the Autosave Application: Fire up the Autosave Program on your computer. You'll find the application in [insert file path here]. Once it's up and running, choose the interval at which you want the game to save automatically.

On PC, F5 is the quick save option. Push it a lot. From what I have noticed, auto saves happen before cut scenes and after a long rest. Otherwise, just hit F5 every few minutes.

You are free to press F5 at anytime or hit esc and save. During literally any point in the game. In these types of games you should be quick saving often. It doesn't matter if you have no plans to save scum, you should be F5'ing very regularly all the same.

Keep in mind that there is a limit to the amount of quicksaves that you can have at one time. This limit is 25 and can be increased to 50 in the PC version's save options menu. The limit is lower on consoles and is variable depending on the save size.

Dual-wielding in Baldur's Gate 3 is done by following these steps: Go into your character's inventory. Equip two weapons with the "Light" property in both melee weapon slots. Press "R" or the little UI button marked above, right between melee and ranged options, to toggle Dual-Wielding on/off.

You are able to take a short rest twice per day. Taking a Long Rest will reset your available Short Rests back to the maximum of two.

How long is Baldur's Gate 3? According to Larian Studios' CEO and Baldur's Gate 3 Creative Director Swen Vicke, players should be ready to spend anywhere from 75 to 100 hours to complete a full playthrough of the game. However, that is only applicable when dealing with just the main story of the game.

Everything that has happened to Baldur's Gate between the events of BG1 and BG3. Baldur's Gate 3 takes place roughly 124 years after the events of Baldur's Gate 2. Lots of major events have taken place between that span of time.

For that reason, we suggest freeing and not mutilating this new lifeform. Us is basically a small, temporary advantage in the earliest chapter of the game - a controllable, and pretty powerful (if limited) ally who has a lot of health and some good melee attacks that match many of the standard Baldur's Gate 3 weapons.

How much longer will Baldur's Gate 3 be in early access? ›

No, autosaves occur at specifically flagged points on the map/in the story. There's no timed autosave functionality, or any repeatable autosave triggers. You'll just have to get used to F5ing.

You can save a new game every time or overwrite saves if you're feeling risky. Quick load is F8 so be careful where you bind quick save, and you can rename your saves if you are playing as different characters or want to save before a particularly important section or decision.

The best classes in BG3 are Bard, Rogue, Wizard, Cleric, and Paladin, as they are the best at fulfilling their role. All five of these classes are able to accomplish their specialty better than any other, even if just by a small margin.

To save in-game, you have two options. There's a quick save function you can use which is F5, although you can rebind this as you wish, or hit escape and choose Save Game. You can save a new game every time or overwrite saves if you're feeling risky.

On your Windows PC, you can quickly access the Baldur's Gate 3 save file location using a command in the Run window (press Win + R): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles\Public\Savegames\Story\.

You can long rest as often as you'd like, provided you have the resources. However, long rests move "time" forward and may affect the outcomes of quests, the availability of NPCs, etc.
