Baldur's Gate 3 is an amazing RPG game with a top view and unique gameplay, but that comes with its own set of problems. In these sorts of games, it's hard to tell whether you can interact with certain objects or if they are just a background. This can get extremely annoying when you are exploring Baldur's Gate 3's massive world filled with a lot of things.
To help you with that, the game has a solution that lets you highlight objects you can interact with. This can make playing the game much easier and will help you save time to explore the beautiful world. This guide will go over how you can highlight objects in Baldur's Gate 3 to avoid wasting time.
How To Highlight Objects
To highlight any object in the world, you have to hold ALT and hover your mouse over those objects. If the object is showing a highlight, it means you can interact with that and probably get something out. But if it's not, there is nothing you can do with that object, and it's there for decoration.
You can also change the button from ALT to anything you like by going to the button mapping settings. The name for it is Show World Tooltips, and changing it to anything else will become your highlighter for the game.
The highlight feature has different colors, which can tell you a lot about different objects. For instance, a yellow highlight means you can interact to loot or pick that item. A red highlight means that this object belongs to someone else and if you pick that, it will be stealing.
These highlights will make your experience much smoother and help you avoid troublesome situations where you end up stealing from others. With that, now you know to highlight objects in Baldur's Gate 3 and what different highlight colors mean.
