A fan of Baldur's Gate 3 has compiled a list of features they're glad Larian Studios chose not to include in the expansive RPG. While gamers typically wish for more mechanics in large titles, especially RPGs, some Baldur's Gate 3 players believe that in this case, less is more, given the game's already massive scope.
Released in 2023 for PlayStation 5 and PC, Baldur's Gate 3 quickly rose to become one of the most acclaimed RPGs of all time. Its Xbox debut coincided with the game's triumph at the 2023 Game Awards, where it took home the prestigious Game of the Year title, along with five other accolades. Despite this early success, Larian Studios has continued to roll out updates and patches throughout 2024, adding new features such as cutscenes, mod support, and more.

Though Baldur's Gate 3 is packed with intricate RPG mechanics, many players are thankful that certain gameplay elements were left out, which would have likely made the game feel tedious. On Reddit, user twitchy-y shared a list of things they’re glad were excluded, including the absence of weapon durability and limited ammo. The user appreciated that ranged weapons have infinite ammo during combat and that players don’t need to repair gear, avoiding features that many find frustrating in other games.
Additionally, twitchy-y commended Larian for not implementing a crafting system. With so much already to manage—between companions and various tasks—the absence of crafting likely kept the game from becoming too overwhelming. Other omitted mechanics that the Reddit user praised include no stamina system outside of combat, no fetch quests, and no restrictions on where or when players can save the game. Interestingly, they also applauded the exclusion of fishing and cooking, though some commenters on the post expressed that they would have enjoyed those features. One commenter also highlighted the game's lack of microtransactions, which has been widely appreciated by fans.
While Larian continues to release updates for Baldur's Gate 3, it’s unlikely that the features mentioned by twitchy-y will be added, meaning fans who prefer their absence can rest easy. Meanwhile, with Baldur's Gate 4 being developed by a different studio, Larian Studios has shifted focus to their next project, which, according to a playful comment by studio head Swen Vinke, might not see release until 2029.
