Baldur’s Gate 3 – Why Receiving Yourself as a Quest Reward Happens

baldurs-gate-3

When I completed the quest "Find the missing Shipment" I was greeted by a strange reward screen that said "You Receive Tavros". Confusingly, Tavros is the name of the character I'm playing as. There was a button to show my inventory, but I couldn't tell if there was anything new in my inventory.

Why did the reward screen say I recieved my own character? Did I actually get anything from this quest?

This is the regular reward screen:

So, it's not so much that you have been rewarded yourself, but that the item(s) you should have been given are not displayed there. Since that part of the pop-up is now missing, it reads You Receive <(Active)PlayerName>.

You should have been given the crossbow Harold (as Skye-AT points out).
If it's not in your inventory the gifting is bugged—if it is, the reward pop-up is bugged. Either way, you might want to inform Larian about it.
