How to Get Back into Baldur's Gate 3 After Taking a Break?

I’m currently about 80 hours into my first playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3, and I’ve hit a burnout wall around halfway through chapter 3. After taking a month off, I’m struggling to find the motivation to dive back in because I absolutely love this game. Anyone have tips on how to rekindle my interest and get back into it?

Honestly, the best way is just to dive back in. Play a few hours straight, and you might find yourself getting invested again. It usually works for me!

I totally get that! Sometimes starting a new character with a completely different vibe from your main helps refresh your experience. I usually create a character that has a totally opposite personality to my original. It just helps me shake things up and makes jumping back into my main save way more enjoyable!

Burnout in Act 3 is super common, don’t stress! It can feel less focused than the first two acts. A great way to reignite your interest is to start a fresh save with a new character. Try different races or classes, and maybe even pursue a romance with another companion. I typically have a couple of saves at different points so I can switch things up if I feel drained where I’m at.
