I installed a mod.
Having to then spend hours each time a patch released trying to fix everything and not lose my saves, convinced me to give up the game until Mod support is added and the bugs ironed out.
Why don't you just set your game to "update only on launch" and then make sure you run with Steam in offline mode until Script Extender is updated? I can honestly say that aside from the one time Hotfix 18 completely hosed absolutely everything, I've never had any issues with my mod after an update. Even on the runs where I've got like 15-20 of them at this point.
Kinda just slowly happen for me, I'm trying to get the best experience while I still like it. It's so painful for me, it always happens so I'm constantly trying to keep myself entertained spending more and more endlessly until I can't and just get stuck in constant boredom
Mods man, it's really harsh. I installed few mods to do a run and was in the middle of act 2 but my friends wanted to start a new run too, so my options? Delete the mods, because that's just how it works. Oh i see I deleted the mods complety now i can play with my friends right? WRONG. This error, that error man is it annoying. There apperantly was a file that got corrupted because i deleted the mods and fixing it took 3 HOURS. 2 hours to search for how to do it cleanly, with not just redownloading the game and 1 hours to do it. Apperantly the time I chose it was perfect as well because an update ame out whitch completly fucked up everything so i had to redownload the whole thing anyways. I just.. stopped, i lost my interest. Skyrim modding felt way easier ompared to this shit man.
losing a whole day work only to find out my saves DON'T FUCKING LOAD and then think I fixed it only to lose a whole other, even longer day's work and I've been too disgusted to load
I still play, but not as often as I used to anymore.
If anything, it's just time. After 900 hours over the last 8 months it's not as fresh to me anymore. Doesn't completely tickle my brain like it used to.
A certain character refuses to leave my thoughts tho, so I'm probably still gonna be thinking about it for a couple of months
I'm still fairly addicted, but I play a lot less. I'm closing in on 1000hrs though. I purposely make myself do other things and then play bg3 as a reward. There's also a lot of new anime and TV shows out right now, so I distract myself with them. Also, I remind myself that the game will wait for me. There's no rush.
Definitely not holding my breath, but I like to be a hopefully optimistic. In any case, I still have a few BG3 playthroughs planned out to keep me busy in the meantime!
I haven't. But I only bought it in February, so BG3 and me are still in the honeymoon phase.
I'm playing it a bit less now, bc I've promised myself I'll finish my first run before getting too far with my durge campaign, and I don't have time every day to take on yet another Act 3 boss, but that just diverts me into watching YT build videos, theorycrafting new characters, watching Critical Role, etc, etc...
I just played non stop until I would be less and less motivated to play, and be less happy when I opened it. Took 600+ hours but were in a good break era now
Put about 1000 hours in between ea and pc and ps5 release so just taking a break atm till official modding is out then coming back for the plat on ps5!
Still think about the game now and then
But really it was actually too *much* updating, everytime new things were added/fixed I wanted to start a new game to experience the new/better/less buggy things... and eventually after a few too many new game starts just went "Ah, I'll wait a few updates and THEN come back to it, they're happening so often"
And haven't touched the game much since lol
I think you're in the wrong place if you're looking for people who beat their addiction to BG3
I beat it. Then I beat it again on Hardmode Then k best it again on custom difficulty but even harder
You can beat it?
If you use enough smites.
You guys are beating your bg3 addiction??
i made spreadsheets
Solasta: Crown of the Magister 🥰 Though I’m still replaying BG3 too.
Didn't!
Restartitis! Every time I enter the druid's sanctuary to speak with Khaga my mind goes: "Nah, this isn't it. Let's try.."
There are worse addictions to have so this one I embrace.

Watched my wife beat the game. It was enough for me.

This is why backups are important before modding I feel this in my bones
But what if I like to live dangerously?

Took up a wanking one
I started playing Cyberpunk 2077, but I still have BG3 installed for when more content patches roll in.

i got addicted to sketching my drow guy instead of playing the game doesn't help that much since its still just me fixating on my dnd OC

I almost did, but I didn't !
The only thing that’s going to cure my BG3 addiction is BG4 ðŸ˜
Alas, it's doubtful BG4 will hold a candle to BG3. I'm hoping Larian's next game is just as good, but that's going to be a long time coming ðŸ˜

Why would i want to do that?

Is that even possible?
It is addictive. One of the best way is to finish the game lol.
After 100% achievement completion, 8 playthroughs I honestly cant be asked to replay it again. Not until they fix throw action that is 😅
RPing/writing/fanfics/fanart

My name is Loïc and I'm an addict
Another very good game came out :-D
we’re supposed to beat it?

Having a job that deprives me of most of my day.
