I do think BG3 is a very impressive game and deserves a lot of the praise it gets.

That said, it sucks how finicky it is to run away from a fight. There's way too many fights that just sort of happen with very little explanation as to why they're attacking you. It's also waaay too easy to accidentally steal things and trigger fights, especially on controller.

You basically do have to save scum a little, because one accident can lead to an entire town being pissed at you. If the game had better ways to de escalate combat and some better signposting of consequences, it'd be a 10/10 game

Hold A on a controller and it gives you a much easier way to search for interactables.

This pretty much solved the stealing issue for me.

It helps, but you can't do that to talk to people. Some of the shop keepers are surrounded by so much stuff you can pick up, and even being very careful I accidentally triggered at least 4 fights. My wife missed out at talking to Rafael at last light because she accidentally picked up the chess board that he's playing (he literally just disappears).

That's unfortunate

Plus you have to save scum because of all the fucking crashing it did.
