How to Highlight Objects in Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3)

Discovering all the interactable objects in Baldur’s Gate 3 can be a thrilling challenge. The game is incredibly immersive, and it’s easy to overlook valuable items that seamlessly blend into the environment. However, fear not! I’m here to share a game-changing tip that will ensure you never miss a hidden gem again. Here’s how to highlight objects in BG3.

Highlighting Interactable Objects in Baldur’s Gate 3

To highlight every interactable object in your immediate vicinity in Baldur’s Gate 3, all you have to do is hold down the Left-Alt key. This will create a yellow outline around every object that you can interact with, making it much easier for you to identify what items you can pick up and loot.

What’s nice about this feature is that it also lets you know when you’ve already looted something by stating that it’s empty. In addition to that, holding down Left-Alt will also show you red outlines on certain objects, letting you know that the object belongs to someone else, and trying to loot it will count as stealing.

Of course, you can always get around this by picking up the object when no one’s watching you, or when no one’s around you. However, if you get caught stealing, this may turn several NPCs against you and even impede your progress in the game.

We definitely recommend holding Left-Alt as you’re out exploring the open-world to easily find every object you can interact with, allowing you to gather resources to survive this brutal world.

And that’s how to highlight objects in Baldur’s Gate 3. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more tips and information on the game, including our full multiclass guide and how to recruit all companions.
