Larian Studios continues to push fixes for Baldur’s Gate 3. A new update is now available that fixes a little obscenity not intended by the developers.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is this summer’s phenomenon. Larian Studios’ CRPG far exceeds all expectations. The enthusiasm is such that it is closely following the record of Hogwarts Legacy by having brought together more than 800,000 players simultaneously on Steam. A feat that even allows it to climb into the top 10 most popular games of all time on the platform. And it’s not over, since the success is already announced on the appointment on PS5, the pre-orders having flown away following the launch of the game on PC. The studio welcomes this success, but does not rest on its laurels. In addition to preparing for the release of the game on the console, the developers are working to fix all annoying bugs and problems. Precisely, a new update of Baldur’s Gate 3 is available.
New patch for Baldur’s Gate 3
The wait was worth it. Fans of the license had to wait for more than 20 years before being able to get their hands on a new game. Baldur’s Gate 3 does not disappoint, far from it. The last episode of the saga had already conquered its community during its period of early access, but the force of things, word of mouth and, let’s be honest, the famous scene with the bear opened the franchise to a whole new audience. Larian Studios already holds its greatest success in its hands, and the developers intend to ensure the follow-up of the game so that it always borders on perfection. A second update has just been deployed on the night of August 8, 2023 and it fixes more than 300 additional bugs including crashes, bugs interfering with progression, issues in cutscenes and much more.
This includes a small clothing issue that occurred to some Baldur’s Gate 3 players. We saw a video on the internet this week…of a gnome wizard who had a little wardrobe problem and we kindly asked him to cover up during their descent into the Dark Underworld jokes Larian Studios. More concretely, the penis of one of the NPCs was inadvertently sticking out of his dress during several cutscenes and similar problems have been fixed for some of his comrades. Here’s an excerpt from the patch notes, we’ve once again excluded all cutscene-related fixes to avoid any spoilers.
