The more I play Baldur’s Gate 3, the more fun I am having, but as time has gone on, the more I find that the game is somehow breaking both Steam and my entire household internet.

When it was stuck syncing, it would kill my entire internet. I believe the reason for this is that Baldur’s Gate 3’s save file pool is so massive, that this can be anywhere from a 500MB to 3GB upload that is taking place during this attempted sync, which is maxing out my internet’s bandwidth, and causing all the internet in my entire house to slow to a crawl.

Bruh.

I was annoyed to see my Valheim save file grow to 60MB and BG3 is taking 3 GB?

Looks like there is a lot of things to remember in the BG3 saves with so much choice.

There's no way it's just 3GB of data points.

What else could it be? I know they increase the save file:

"As it turns out, many of you were doing so much in Baldur’s Gate 3 that some of your personal ‘story’ databases (where your choices and actions are stored) got too big," Larian explained in the brief patch notes.
