BG3 Patch Notes on PS5 and PC
- Patch Highlights
- Fixed a bug that prevented players from accessing many Minthara lines of dialogue and going deeper into the relationship.
Developer Comments: This patch fixes a bug that blocked access to certain lines of Minthara dialogue, including feedback from your companions about your decision to date the ruthless paladin from Oath of Vengeance. If the approval is high enough, your romance with Minthara will progress in Act 3. This will unlock several new dialogues allowing you to explore and deepen your relationship, and discover more details about Minthara’s history. In addition to the many interactive lines of dialogue, many other non-interactive voice lines are available with Minthara as a romantic partner. Minthara isn’t the only one with new things to say. Other party mates will comment on the relationship and may even end up on the bad side of Minthara (there is no good side, we’ve been looking for it) if they have their own romantic relationships with you. And Minthara won’t stay silent if you walk away from her. ยป
