Baldur’s Gate 3 players, delete all early access saves before launch

pcgamesn.com:

Baldur’s Gate 3 has been keeping me occupied on a daily basis now as I explore all that the RPG game‘s early access build has to offer. Larian Studios has obviously put in a massive amount of work, as I haven’t even gotten close to being bored yet. The full launch this week is exciting nonetheless, and between the new character creation and story content coming, Baldur’s Gate 3 may very well end up as my game of the year. As the release approaches, Larian Studios has been preparing us for it by sharing feature and lore tidbits as well as instructions to follow prior.

One thing that the developers have especially stressed is the fact that you cannot carry your early access saves over to the full game. With all of the changes coming to the Baldur’s Gate 3 class systems and other content, it’s not surprising that the two versions are incompatible. In a PSA post earlier today, the devs wrote that all current players should “launch the game” and “delete all save files to avoid unintended conflicts at launch.”

They also stated that we should “remove any mods and ensure they do not automatically re-download,” which means we will be starting completely fresh come the Baldur’s Gate 3 release time. If you want to fully prepare yourself for the massive launch and stay on the safe side, Larian Studios has also suggested a complete wipe of the game from your system.

“We recommend players with Early Access installed uninstall the game after deleting their save files,” wrote the devs on social media today. “This will reduce the risk of file conflicts when the final game downloads, and should mean more playing, and no troubleshooting!” They went on to state that a full guide for launch would be posted tomorrow, the day before
