Baldur's Gate 3 Wyll Bug Fix: Simple Mod Solution!

Fans of Baldur's Gate 3 are always on the lookout for new updates, especially bug fixes, and one particular character, Wyll, has had a pretty annoying glitch for a while now. This is a well-loved companion in the game but it seems he had this big problem.

Wyll's Buggy Greetings

One of Wyll's more common issues that some players run into are the way that Wyll greets the player. It's more common than people think and has been around since Patch 7 (released a month ago on PC). For whatever reason, instead of responding warmly, this character often says things like, "You've got something to say?" This response should ONLY happen if players have a negative approval rating but, due to this bug, it's a common issue and makes this well-liked companion a bit more standoffish than he should be.

It seems that there is missing a code element ("=false")! This has made Wyll give those grumpy answers every time he's addressed! Not only is it frustrating for fans but it also speaks to how easy it is for even one tiny error to affect all the characters within the game, so there are many factors impacting gamers that few would suspect.
