Baldur’s Gate 3’s patches are nonetheless rolling out six months after Larian’s fantasy RPG launched in August. The sport’s sixth massive replace is on the horizon, and the studio has been teasing particulars about what followers can count on when it goes reside. Here’s all the pieces we all know thus far about Baldur’s Gate 3’s Patch 6.
New kisses on your lover(s)
Everybody has fallen in love with not less than one among Baldur’s Gate 3’s companions. While the sport’s big-budget intercourse scenes are a giant draw, you can even simply have a good little smooch together with your babe of selection at camp everytime you really feel prefer it. There have been a couple of updates to current kisses over the previous few months, however Larian is touting totally new ones for Valentine’s week. These have included a brow smooch from Halsin, a cute sport of hide-and-seek with Shadowheart, and one thing utterly completely different in tone from each of these with Astarion.
Larian hasn’t proven off everybody’s new make-out periods, but it surely appears to be like like we are able to count on one thing new for different get together members as nicely when the patch launches.
Better get together administration
One of essentially the most annoying issues in Baldur’s Gate 3 is get together administration, which requires you to return to camp to swap out companions. Once you’re there, it’s important to speak to the character you need to take away earlier than you’ll be able to add a distinct individual to your workforce. Patch 6 will streamline this course of by letting you take away a celebration member whereas speaking to the individual you need to take with you. It would nonetheless be good if they simply allow you to construct your get together on the way in which out of camp so that you wouldn’t have to speak to companions so as to add and dismiss them in any respect. But we’ll take child steps.
Some fastened talents
Larian particularly notes that it has fastened the skills Shield Bash and Rebuke of the Mighty, which can now accurately set off Saving Throws that decide in the event that they’re efficient or not. This is probably going one among many bug fixes that will likely be included in Patch 6.
Your teammates gained’t steal the highlight
In each of my Baldur’s Gate 3 playthroughs, I used to be often aggravated with how the sport would typically have one among my get together members deal with a dialog versus my customized most important character. This occurred at random occasions, and never getting to make use of my protagonist in these conversations felt prefer it decentered him and the way in which he had been positioned within the story. Patch 6 will make it in order that if a dialogue is triggered routinely by way of a narrative beat or questline, the sport will default to your customized character over Astarion or Shadowheart. If you need to management one of many different heroes for a scene, loosen up; this will solely apply to routinely triggered scenes.
It’s gonna require some hefty arduous drive house
According to Larian’s posts on the matter, Patch 6 itself will take up about 21GB of house. Because the patch needs to be utilized to current recordsdata, it’ll require 150GB of free arduous drive house to put in. Larian recommends uninstalling Baldur’s Gate 3 and redownloading the sport in its entirety as a workaround to put in the sport and the patch.
When is Baldur’s Gate 3’s subsequent patch popping out?
Sometime “quickly,” in accordance with Larian. But we don’t know a lot else past that. Hopefully, it’s this week. I’d like to see what sort of new smooch I get with Gale for Valentine’s Day. It in all probability gained’t reside as much as his intercourse scene, although.
